Multiple reports, citing senior Lebanese security sources, have claimed that Mossad planted a small amount of explosives inside 5,000 Taiwan-made pagers ordered by Lebanese militant group Hezbollah five months before the detonations.

New details emerge of Israel’s elaborate plan to sabotage Hezbollah communications devices to kill or maim thousands of its operatives.

A report by The Washington Post has revealed how Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, orchestrated a covert operation to turn pagers used by Hezbollah into explosive devices. According to the report, Mossad engineered explosive devices within pagers that were used by Hezbollah commanders and fighters.
