Israel Faked Injuries to Its Soldiers to Trick Hizbollah
2nd September 2019
The Israeli military faked injuries to its soldiers to trick Hizbollah into believing it caused casualties during Sunday’s round of fighting on the Lebanese border.
Minutes after Hizbollah militants fired anti-tank missiles at an Israeli base, the military staged a helicopter evacuation of “wounded” troops wrapped in bandages and covered in fake blood.
The trickery appears to have achieved its goal of convincing Hizbollah that it wounded Israeli troops and therefore did not need to launch any further attacks. The Lebanese militant group released a statement claiming to have “killed and wounded” several Israeli soldiers.
Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, only revealed several hours later that there were, in fact, no Israeli casualties. “Not even a scratch,” he said.
