This gesture commemorates a significant operation in Lebanon that targeted terrorists. The meeting took place in Netanyahu's Jerusalem office, where Fetterman and his wife were in attendance.
As reported by The Blaze, the operation in question occurred in September 2024, when hundreds of beepers in Lebanon detonated simultaneously. This strategic move resulted in the deaths and injuries of numerous Hezbollah members. While the operation was praised for its precision and ingenuity by supporters of Israel, it also drew criticism due to the collateral damage that affected innocent bystanders.

Fetterman, however, has been vocal in his support for Israel's actions, stating, "I want to be very clear: I thought what Israel chose to do about blowing up the pagers and walkie-talkies and after targeting and eliminating membership and leadership of Hezbollah, I absolutely support that." He further emphasized his stance by adding, "In fact, if anything, I love it."
