Mossad agents reveal Hezbollah's purchase of explosive walkie-talkies and pagers

Two former Mossad agents revealed that Hezbollah unknowingly purchased over 16,000 Israeli-made walkie-talkies rigged with explosives a decade ago. The devices were detonated in a surprise attack on September 17, 2024, causing numerous casualties. The agents explained that Mossad created fake companies to sell the booby-trapped devices. They also rigged pagers, which Hezbollah bought from a Taiwanese company, with explosives. By September 2024, Hezbollah had acquired 5,000 of these pagers. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed Israel's involvement in the operation two months after the attacks. The agents detailed how Mossad used deceptive marketing to ensure Hezbollah remained unaware of the true source of the devices.
