Israel's Mossad spy agency is alleged to have planted explosives inside 5,000 Taiwan-made pagers ordered by Hezbollah five months ago, according to senior Lebanese security sources. These compromised devices, used by thousands of Hezbollah members for wireless communication, detonated simultaneously across Lebanon and Syria on Tuesday, resulting in nine fatalities and nearly 3,000 injuries. The blasts, totaling around 100 in Syria alone, targeted Hezbollah's communication network. This reported operation highlights the escalating covert conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, with the Mossad's alleged involvement marking a significant tactical move.
