News - Middle East: A former Lebanese lawmaker says Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent visit to the US featured coordination between Tel Aviv and Washington concerning assassination operations against senior resistance figures.

Naser Kandeel made the remarks in a post on X on Wednesday, referring to the last week visit to Washington by the Israeli prime minister, which was shortly followed by a failed assassination attempt by the Israeli military against Fuad Shukr, a senior commander of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah.

“The outcome of Netanyahu’s visit to Washington: Coordinating the assassination operations of leaders between American and Israeli intelligence,” Kandeel wrote.

At least three people, including two children, were killed and 74 others wounded in an Israeli drone attack on a suburb of the Lebanese capital of Beirut on Tuesday.

Netanyahu’s trip was also ensued by the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas’s political bureau, in the Iranian capital Tehran on Wednesday.

Kandeel asserted that the targeted parties and the regional Axis of Resistance were sure to respond to the atrocities.

The response, Kandeel said, was to feature retaliatory missile strikes by the Islamic Republic and regional resistance movements that would target the occupied Palestinian territories “from every direction.”
