Did Labor leader Yitzhak Herzog reveal classified information about the operation that killed an Iranian general and Hezbollah’s Jihad Mughniyeh, a week ago?

Speaking at a conference in the Emek Israel College Sunday, Herzog spoke about diplomatic and security-related subjects and said, “I am telling you, today, every moment there is something. What do you think? After all, I, too, was updated about the operation, or the developments that occurred. And I am telling you that it is a good thing that we have someone we can consult with. In our top echelon, too – as the people who will, after all, be Israel’s next leaders after the elections, we will work in complete harmony and total openness.”

The quote appeared in Yedioth Aharonoth.

Herzog’s bureau said in response that Herzog meant that “in view of his position, he had received an update about the security situation that had formed as a result of the operation in Syria, and did not say who had carried it out.”
