Mossad Accused Of Detonating Hezbollah Pagers Across Lebanon And Syria In Coordinated Blast

Reports have surfaced that Israel’s Mossad spy agency was responsible for planting explosives inside 5,000 Taiwan-made pagers ordered by Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group.

Five months after being smuggled into Lebanon, the pagers exploded simultaneously on Tuesday, killing at least nine people and injuring many more across Lebanon and parts of Syria.

Explosive Plot Unveiled

According to senior Lebanese security sources cited by Reuters, Mossad embedded a small amount of explosives within the devices, which were triggered by a coded message.

The explosives, reportedly PETN, were activated by increasing the temperature of the pager batteries remotely. These pagers were manufactured by Gold Apollo, a Taiwan-based company, and identified by their AP924 model variant.

Strategic Attack

The coordinated explosion of the pagers highlights Mossad’s technical capabilities and long-standing efforts to disrupt Hezbollah’s operations. The blasts affected Hezbollah’s communication network, as the group had been relying on these pagers to avoid Israeli tracking.

Hezbollah Vows Retaliation

Hezbollah has accused Israel of the attacks and vowed retribution. Lebanese Information Minister Ziad Makary condemned the act as an “Israeli aggression.”

Israeli authorities have yet to comment on the allegations, and investigations are ongoing to uncover the exact mechanisms used in the explosions.

Historical Context

This isn’t the first time Israel has employed such tactics. In 1996, Israel’s Shin Bet intelligence agency allegedly used a similar method to kill Hamas leader Yahya Ayyash by planting RDX explosives inside a mobile phone, detonating it when he made a call.

As tensions escalate, Hezbollah’s response could further strain the fragile security situation in the region.
