Two retired Mossad agents revealed a covert operation against Hezbollah in a CBS interview. Over ten years, Mossad sold modified pagers with hidden explosives to Hezbollah, using a fake storefront and a Taiwanese company to disguise their involvement. On September 17, 2023, the pagers exploded simultaneously across Lebanon, injuring many Hezbollah members. The following day, dormant walkie-talkies sold to Hezbollah also detonated, causing further chaos during funerals for the pager victims. The operation led to significant repercussions, including Israeli strikes on Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and instability in Syria. Mossad agents indicated they have moved on to new missions.
