Mossad Reveals Hezbollah Counterintelligence Operation

Retired Mossad agents have disclosed details of a sophisticated operation targeting Hezbollah militants using explosive pagers and walkie-talkies, which culminated in a series of deadly blasts in September 2023. The operation, planned over a decade, involved tricking Hezbollah into purchasing these devices, which were modified with hidden explosives. The agents explained that the pagers, designed to be undetectable, were detonated during a crucial Hezbollah command meeting, significantly weakening the group's capabilities. Following the explosions, Hezbollah's leadership, including Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, was visibly shaken, prompting the group to abandon high-tech devices for more secure alternatives. The operation not only inflicted casualties on key commanders but also altered the balance of power in the region, showcasing Mossad's strategic ingenuity. These revelations come amid heightened tensions following Hamas' attack on Israel, which escalated the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
