CNN Reports on Israel's Concealed Explosives in Pagers Targeting Hezbollah
Israel's Covert Operation: Explosive Devices Concealed in Pagers
Recently, CNN reported that Israel has utilized sophisticated tactics to target Hezbollah by embedding explosives within the batteries of pagers sold to the group. According to multiple high-ranking Lebanese security officials, the mechanism was advanced enough to elude traditional detection methods.
How the Attack Unfolded
On September 17, thousands of devices detonated, resulting in at least 37 deaths and around 3,000 injuries. The unusual method of attack involved sending electronic messages to the pagers, which acted as lethal improvised explosive devices. Experts have noted that this evolution in warfare could lead to more widespread and indiscriminate attacks.
- Deaths and Injuries: The blasts resulted in 37 deaths, including children.
- Tactics Used: Attackers used pagers and walkie-talkies in the operation.
- International Reaction: UN officials condemned the attack, labeling it a turning point in warfare.
Investigations into the Supply Chain
Investigation efforts have narrowed significantly on the supply chain of the pagers, tracing components from various global locations. Companies, including Gold Apollo from Taiwan and others, have distanced themselves from the pagers involved. The international community is on alert.
