Israel's Mossad allegedly planted explosives inside thousands of pagers ordered by Hezbollah months before they detonated, according to a senior Lebanese security source. The militant group had ordered 5,000 pagers, which were smuggled into Lebanon in the spring. Mossad is suspected of modifying the devices at the production level, adding up to three grams of explosives in each pager. These explosives went undetected by Hezbollah for months before they exploded. The claim, reported by Reuters, highlights Mossad's covert operations against Hezbollah and raises concerns about the security of the group's communications infrastructure.
