A single unverified source claims that Prime Minister Netanyahu did not await US President Trump's approval for the strike in Beirut's Dahieh neighborhood. According to the source, Israel notified the commander of CENTCOM, and by the time the message reached Trump, the strike had already been carried out.
A new claim has emerged regarding the sequence of events around Israel's strike in the Dahieh neighborhood of Beirut. According to a single unverified source cited by the source, Prime Minister Netanyahu did not wait for approval from US President Donald Trump before authorizing the operation. The source alleges that Israel notified the commander of US Central Command (CENTCOM) in advance, but the message had not yet reached Trump by the time the strike was underway. The claim suggests a deliberate decision to proceed before the White House could intervene.
This account contrasts with statements from President Trump, who told Fox News earlier today that the strike was 'not coordinated' with the US and indicated he plans to call Netanyahu to urge restraint. It also differs from previous reports — cited as background in The Zioneer's archive — suggesting the Trump administration received detailed briefings on attack plans. The new claim, which comes from a source of unclear reliability, has not been independently corroborated. No official Israeli or US confirmation is available.
