News summary

Recent explosions of communication devices used by Hezbollah in Lebanon have resulted in at least 14 deaths and over 450 injuries, following a similar incident involving pagers that killed 12 and injured nearly 3,000. Israeli intelligence, specifically Mossad, is believed to have embedded explosives in these devices as part of a covert operation targeting Hezbollah's communication methods. The pagers, procured by Hezbollah to evade Israeli tracking, detonated due to a remotely triggered coded message. The walkie-talkies involved in the latest explosions were purchased five months prior and displayed markings from ICOM, a Japanese company. This series of attacks has been described as a significant intelligence failure for Hezbollah, reflecting Israel's capability to carry out meticulous sabotage operations. Additionally, the explosive PETN has been highlighted as a powerful component in such intelligence operations, further complicating the security landscape in the region.
