Deep Intel on Israel's
Use of Exploding Pagers Against Hezbollah
Sep 18, 2024
Pagers used by the militant group Hezbollah
exploded near-simultaneously Tuesday in Lebanon and Syria, killing at least
nine people, including an 8-year-old girl, and wounding nearly 3,000. The
attack in Lebanon started on the afternoon of September 17, when pagers in
their owners’ hands or pockets started heating up and then exploding. Images
taken at the scene show substantial carnage as first responders arrived at the
scene and panic among bystanders. Hezbollah and the Lebanese government blamed
Israel for what appeared to be a sophisticated remote attack like something out
of a Mission Impossible movie. While Israel has not yet claimed responsibility,
an American official speaking to the AP on the condition of anonymity because
he wasn’t authorized to discuss the information publicly said that, immediately
after the operation was over, his agency was briefed by Israel about how small
amounts of explosives were secreted into pages and simultaneously detonated
remotely. That official offered no detail about how the explosives were put
into the pagers and what the timeframe needed to carry out the operation was or
whether Israeli’s covert security agency Mossad had done it.
