Israel's Mossad reportedly planted explosives in 5,000 pagers ordered by Hezbollah, leading to deadly detonations last month. The pagers exploded when a coded message was sent, killing at least nine people and injuring over 2,800. This operation marks a significant shift in tactics against Hezbollah, a group known for its secrecy. The pagers, delivered from Taiwan, were used by Hezbollah members and detonated simultaneously across Lebanon and parts of Syria. Mossad's infiltration of Hezbollah highlights a vulnerability within the group. The explosives were difficult to detect, as they were integrated into the pagers' circuitry.
