​(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this evening (Monday, 1 October 2018):

"Iran's attempt to tie Israel to the terrorist attack in southern Iran is ridiculous. The fact that 'Death to Israel' was written on the missiles launched at Syria proves everything."

Regarding Hezbollah in Lebanon, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated:
 
"Hezbollah is brazenly lying to the international community by means of the fraudulent propaganda tour of the Lebanese Foreign Minister who took ambassadors to the soccer field but refrained from taking them to the nearby underground precision missile production facility. The ambassadors should ask themselves why they waited three days before making the tour. Hezbollah always takes care to clean the area at exposed sites.
 
It is unfortunate that the Lebanese government is sacrificing the peace of its citizens to cover for Hezbollah which has taken Lebanon hostage for its aggression against Israel."
