Recent reports from high-ranking Lebanese security officials have shed light on Israel's use of advanced technology in targeting Hezbollah. The officials revealed that Israel concealed explosives inside the batteries of pagers, which were then brought into Lebanon. The sophistication of the technology made the explosives virtually undetectable, posing a significant threat to those carrying the weaponized pagers.
Lebanese security officials witnessed controlled explosions of some of the weaponized pagers as part of their investigations. The pagers, which were switched off during the attack, demonstrated the potential catastrophic impact they could have had if activated. The explosions targeted Hezbollah members, resulting in casualties and injuries, including civilians who were bystanders.
The attacks, which involved targeting pagers and walkie-talkies, were attributed to a joint operation by Israel's intelligence service, Mossad, and the Israeli military. While Israel has not officially commented on the attacks, the country's defense minister indirectly acknowledged their involvement, praising the operation's success.
Both Lebanon and Hezbollah have accused Israel of being behind the attacks, which have raised concerns about the use of advanced technology in conflicts. The incident highlights the evolving nature of warfare and the challenges posed by sophisticated tactics employed by various parties.
