Explosions have been heard in Lebanon for two days. Everything from pagers to walkie-talkies, laptops, radios and solar panels are exploding. The target is the Lebanese extremist group Hezbollah, and the gunmen are said to be Israeli. But the question is, are these attacks carried out by Israel alone, or is there someone else who has information about this operation in Lebanon?
Hezbollah blamed the bombings on Israel, which neither accepted nor denied the allegations, while the United States said it had no knowledge of the attacks and had no involvement in them.
CNN reported, citing sources, that Israel told the United States before the attack that there would be a big move on Tuesday, but the details of the plan were not disclosed to the United States.
The Lebanon attack was reportedly a joint operation by Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad and the Israeli army’s IDF. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant allegedly called U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin before the attack in Lebanon. However, sources said that details about the operation were not provided to the United States. But he was informed of it.
How horrific was the attack?
Pagers that exploded in Lebanon and Syria. A beeping sound was heard for a few seconds before the explosion. Some pagers exploded while they were in pockets, while others exploded when they were taken out of pockets or bags after hearing the beeping sound. Many pagers exploded in people’s hands.
Twelve people were killed in the explosion, including a little girl. 4,000 people were seriously or moderately injured. Many people had injuries to their hands and legs. More than 500 people were blinded. Some people had torsos damaged, and some had their lower bodies blown off in the explosion.
Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, lost one eye and had another severely damaged. The victims included children of Lebanese lawmakers and family members of Hezbollah fighters who were also hit by the blast.
Likewise, on Wednesday, everything from walkie-talkies to solar panels, laptops and radios were blown up. The attacks killed 20 people and wounded 450.
How did Mossad carry out the attack?
According to the New York Times, Israel installed explosives in these pagers as part of a Mossad intelligence operation against Hezbollah. Hezbollah ordered about 3,000 pagers from a Taiwanese company called Gold Apollo. But the pagers were tampered with before they arrived in Lebanon. The pagers were sent from Taiwan to Lebanon between April and May this year. It seems that the plot for this attack was carried out several months ago.
According to U.S. officials, the pagers were AP924 models from a Taiwanese company. Each of the pagers shipped from Taiwan to Lebanon was loaded with one to two ounces of explosives placed next to the batteries installed in the pagers.
According to reports, a message was received on the pagers at 3:30 pm in Lebanon. The message activated the explosives installed in the pagers.
Allegedly, a beeping sound was heard for a few seconds before the pager exploded. According to sources, Mossad actually injected a small plate inside the pager that contained explosives. This explosive would be difficult to detect with any equipment or scanner. At the same time, Israel also tampered with Hezbollah’s pagers and walkie-talkies through a shell company. These devices were equipped with explosives.
Let us tell you that this attack on Lebanon came as the US Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in the Egyptian capital of Cairo on Tuesday. However, Blinken denied that the United States played any role in the attack in Lebanon.
