Lavon Affair

A false flag attack is an attack carried out to make it look like someone else was responsible, usually to manipulate public opinion or justify actions against them.

Yes, Israel did commit a false flag attack in the past, the 1954 Lavon Affair.

when Israeli military intelligence organized bombing of civilian targets in Egypt intended to be blamed on Egyptian groups.

So, look, the U.S. does it as well.

Two suspects are in FBI custody after a truckload of explosives was discovered around the George Washington Bridge.

The Lavon Affair was an Israeli terrorist operation in Egypt known as Operation Susanna in which Egyptian, American, and British-owned targets in Egypt were bombed in the summer of 1954.

In the early 1950s, the U.S. was becoming friendlier with Egypt and was moving to influence the British to leave the Egyptian Suez Canal which they had manned for almost 20 years.

The apartheid state of Israel would not tolerate the British leaving and elements within Israel began planning a variety of terrorist attacks on British, Egyptian and American targets.
