Reports suggest Israel’s Mossad may be behind the explosion of Hezbollah’s walkie-talkies in South Lebanon, killing 20 and injuring 400. The blasts occurred when coded messages were sent to pagers purchased by Hezbollah, detonating explosives embedded in the devices. A senior Lebanese security source revealed that a small amount of explosives was embedded in a new shipment of 5,000 pagers ordered by Hezbollah, which went undetected for months.
The devices, reportedly manufactured by Taiwanese company Gold Apollo and Japanese company ICOM, were tampered with before arrival in Lebanon. Each pager contained explosive material hidden next to the battery, along with a switch for remotely detonating the device. The Mossad has not commented on the incident, while Hezbollah blamed Israel for the explosions.
