Deadly Explosions in Lebanon: Mossad Accused of Hiding Bombs in Hezbollah Pagers
Lebanese security sources have dropped a bombshell claim: Israel’s Mossad allegedly planted explosives inside thousands of pagers ordered by Hezbollah. The covert operation reportedly sparked multiple deadly blasts across Lebanon on Tuesday, killing nine and injuring thousands, confirmed Lebanon’s Health Minister Firas Abiad.
Explosive Pagers: How the Deadly Plot Unfolded
A Lebanese insider told Reuters Hezbollah ordered around 5,000 pagers imported in spring. But here’s the shocker—those pagers were tampered with “at the production level” by Israeli intelligence, each packed with up to 3 grams of hidden explosives. Undetected for months, the devices exploded simultaneously, wreaking havoc.
- 9 people killed.
- 2,750 injured, 200 in critical condition.
- Explosions have stirred fears over covert warfare tactics in the volatile Middle East.
Taiwan’s Gold Apollo Denies Involvement
Taiwan’s economy ministry, overseeing Gold Apollo—the pager exporter to Europe and the US—rubbed cold water on the claims. They insisted there’s “no record of direct exports to Lebanon” and rejected any possibility of their pagers being rigged to explode. They speculated any modifications must have happened after export.
Hezbollah’s Fierce Warning to Israel
In response, Hezbollah vows to press on with its operations and support for Gaza. The group labeled Israel the “criminal enemy” and promised “harsh punishment” to anyone behind the deadly attack.
This explosive revelation, if true, marks a major escalation in Israel-Hezbollah hostilities. It also exposes how militant groups’ tech can be hijacked for sabotage, highlighting growing risks in modern covert warfare.
