Lebanese officials have revealed that Israel hid explosives inside batteries of pagers sold to Hezbollah. This information was disclosed as part of an investigation into a recent explosion in Lebanon. Israeli agents allegedly placed the explosives inside the batteries in order to target Hezbollah members.
The former telecommunications minister of Lebanon, Marwan Hamadeh, stated that the explosives were concealed in a shipment of pagers that were sold to Hezbollah through a company in Dubai. The shipment was reportedly intercepted by Lebanese authorities, who found the hidden explosives during a routine inspection. Hamadeh accused Israel of carrying out a “terrorist act” by planting the explosives.
The revelation has heightened tensions between Israel and Hezbollah, both of which are longtime adversaries and have been involved in multiple conflicts over the years. Hezbollah, a Shiite militant group based in Lebanon, is considered a terrorist organization by Israel and the United States.
Israel has not yet responded to these allegations, but they have a history of carrying out covert operations against Hezbollah and other enemy groups in the region. The use of pagers to conceal explosives is a tactic that has been used in the past by intelligence agencies and terrorist organizations.
The Lebanese government has called for an international investigation into the incident, citing concerns about Israeli aggression and violations of international law. The discovery of the concealed explosives has raised questions about the methods used by Israel and its allies in their conflict with Hezbollah, and has reignited fears of further violence in the region.
