Democrat AOC Accuses Israel of “Pager Attack” in Lebanon, Demands Answers from State Department

Washington D.C (VINnews)-In a recent statement, U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has publicly condemned Israel, accusing the nation of launching a “pager attack” in Lebanon. The alleged attack, according to Ocasio-Cortez, involved the detonation of thousands of handheld devices, resulting in significant civilian casualties across various public spaces in the country.

“Israel’s pager attack in Lebanon detonated thousands of handheld devices across a slew of public spaces, seriously injuring and killing innocent civilians,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a pointed statement.

The congresswoman expressed deep concern about the potential involvement of U.S. resources or technology in the development of such a device and called for a thorough investigation by the U.S. State Department.

“Congress needs a full accounting of the attack, including an answer from the State Department as to whether any U.S. assistance went into the development or deployment of this technology,” she stated.

To date, Israel has not claimed responsibility for the attack, and no formal statement has been issued by its government on the incident. Without direct acknowledgement, the details of the attack remain murky, with conflicting reports and speculation about the nature and origins of the devices involved.
