MOSSAD PLANNED AN OPERATION TO BLOW UP HEZBOLLAH PAGERS IN 2022
Washington Post quoting Israeli officials:
Hezbollah's pagers were manufactured in Israel under Mossad supervision
Explosives were carefully hidden in the pagers to avoid detection even if they were dismantled
The pager deal was offered to Hezbollah by a marketing official in 2023
Mossad began smuggling booby-trapped radios into Lebanon in 2015
The batteries of the booby-trapped radios were large and contained explosives and a system to monitor communications
The Israelis eavesdropped on Hezbollah's communications via radio for 9 years and kept the option of turning them into bombs
Reading messages on pagers required pressing two buttons, which meant using both hands at the same time
This meant injuring both hands during their detonation.
