The Prime Minister’s Office releases a photo it says depicts Benjamin Netanyahu approving the airstrike on Hezbollah headquarters in Beirut earlier today, evidently before he left to address the UN General Assembly.

The photo appears to show Netanyahu at his hotel in New York, alongside his military secretary and chief of staff.
