The report suggests that the pagers, sourced from the Taiwanese company Gold Apollo, were filled with small amounts of explosives—just one or two ounces—along with a detonator.
Israeli intelligence agents were behind the serial pager bomb attacks that killed nine people, including two young girls, and injured over 2,700 people across Lebanon. More than 2,750 people were wounded across Lebanon, with over 300 in critical condition, after pagers linked to banned terrorist group Hezbollah, exploded over the span of an hour yesterday afternoon.
Scenes of widespread panic and chaos unfolded in Beirut’s southern suburbs, the Bekaa Valley, and southern Lebanon. In neighboring Syria, 14 people were also wounded in the blasts, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. It has now been revealed that thousands of Hezbollah’s pagers were compromised by Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad.
Planting the Explosives
In a horrifying episode that lasted over 30 minutes, victims were seen writhing in pain, suffering from severe injuries to their faces, abdomens, and even groin areas. Among the reported fatalities were two young girls, aged eight and ten, as well as the son of a Lebanese parliamentarian.
Iran also confirmed that its ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, sustained injuries to his face and hand.
According to The New York Times, Hezbollah’s pagers were tampered with in a coordinated effort between Mossad, Israel’s secretive intelligence agency, and the IDF.
The report suggests that the pagers, sourced from the Taiwanese company Gold Apollo, were filled with small amounts of explosives—just one or two ounces—along with a detonator.
