The Israeli embassy suffered a terrorist attack on 17 March 1992 . It was perceived as a consequence of Argentina 's involvement in the Gulf War . Although Hezbollah claimed responsibility for it , the Supreme Court investigated several other hypotheses . The Court wrote a report in 1996 suggesting that it could have been the explosion of an arms cache stored in the basement . Another hypothesis was that the attack could have been performed by Jewish extremists , in order to cast blame on Muslims and thwart the peace negotiations . The Court finally held Hezbollah responsible for the attack in May 1999
