According to sources in the security agencies of Lebanon, the Israeli intelligence MOSSAD could replace five thousand pagers ordered by the Shiite movement "Hezbollah" even during their production in Taiwan. This is reported by Reuters , citing anonymous sources.
According to reports, the devices were ordered from the Taiwanese company Gold Apollo long before the incident. A batch of pagers was delivered to Lebanon in the spring, but only recently these devices were used by Hezbollah fighters. Sources believe that Israeli intelligence may have planted explosive devices in the pagers, each containing up to three grams of explosives.
These explosive elements, according to interlocutors of the agency, were almost impossible to detect using scanners or other standard inspection methods.
Pager explosions caused significant casualties: more than a thousand people, including Hezbollah fighters and medics, were injured. The blasts came just a day after Israeli leaders publicly warned of a possible escalation of military action against Hezbollah.
The claims about the bombed pagers have further heightened tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, which has long been at the center of the Middle East conflict. Although Israel has not yet commented on the allegations, they fit perfectly into MOSSAD's strategy of neutralizing threats through complex operations.
