Responsibility and reactions
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Iranian intelligence services or Hezbollah for both incidents. Israel put its embassies on high alert for the anniversary of the killing of Hezbollah commander Imad Mughniyeh, as Hezbollah had vowed to avenge the attack by attacking Israelis overseas.
Iran condemned the "terrorist" incidents; it also rejected the allegation and denied responsibility for the incidents, while blaming Israel for a false flag operation.
