(CNN) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gifted US President Donald Trump a golden pager during their meeting in Washington on Tuesday, an Israeli political source told CNN.
The gift was an allusion to a deadly September operation carried out by Israel in Lebanon, which targeted pagers used by members of the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.
Device explosions in Lebanon killed dozens of people and injured thousands, including civilian bystanders, last September.

Device explosions in Lebanon killed dozens of people and injured thousands, including civilian bystanders, last September.
On September 17, thousands of explosions struck Hezbollah members, targeting their pagers and then walkie-talkies a day later.
The blasts killed at least 37 people, including some children, and injured nearly 3,000, many of them civilian bystanders, according to Lebanese health authorities.
In return, on Tuesday, Trump gave Netanyahu a signed photograph of the two of them. He signed the photograph, “To Bibi, A great leader!,” according to a photo on Instagram posted by his son, Yair Netanyahu.
Why was Trump involved in the operation?

To call captain marvel
does anyone know anyone else that was recently blown up by Israel with pagers ?
Spy-cam.
Bro it’s just like Nixons clock – open that wooden bitch up and we’d find the decoder no doubt
Trojan horse. Definitely have it x rayed and physically disassembled…
Probably as a constant, foreboding warning, it’d be like if a well-known serial killer gifted you a knife in the mail to display
That he accepted it is unbeliable. That no one is condemning it is just sad.
That is pretty dark. Hope they scanned the internals very well.
Because he’s a sick fuck, and this is a way he can fly in in front of the public
I’d taken that as a threat if he’d given that to me. The pager attack was before Trump was president, so he likely had no part of it
If he’d given this to Biden it would’ve been understood as a threat. “We can get you, even when you feel safe”
Because psychopaths do crazy stuff.
You know I’m pretty sure they supply hamas and just added pagers to a shipment
