Israel on Monday commemorated the 33rd anniversary of the deadly bombing of its embassy in Buenos Aires, Argentina, an attack orchestrated by Iran and carried out by its proxy, the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah.

The attack, which took place on March 17, 1992, killed 29 people and injured more than 200.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar marked the somber occasion in a statement, emphasizing the ongoing fight against terrorism. “Today marks 33 years since the horrifying terror attack on our Embassy in Buenos Aires, orchestrated by Iran and executed by its proxy, Hezbollah,” Sa’ar tweeted.

“As we commemorate the loss of 29 innocent lives, today, more than ever, we remember that the fight against terrorism is vital to the security of our civilization,” he added.

Sa’ar also reaffirmed Israel’s solidarity with Argentina in efforts to bring those responsible to justice, praising Argentine President Javier Milei for his commitment to accountability. “We stand united with Argentina in this ongoing effort, and we thank President @JMilei for his determination to bring the perpetrators to justice,” he said.

The anniversary serves as a reminder of Iran’s long-standing role in global terrorism and its support for Hezbollah, which continues to pose a threat in the Middle East and beyond.

“May the memories of the victims be a blessing,” Sa’ar concluded.
