Two Years After 'Beeper Operation,' Israel Marks Strike That Crippled Hezbollah
Two years have passed since a complex Israeli operation, codenamed "Operation Beepers," successfully targeted Hezbollah. The operation, which involved the detonation of thousands of pagers, resulted in the deaths of 59 Hezbollah operatives and injured thousands more. This surprise attack significantly weakened the terrorist organization.
The operation began with an idea proposed in 2018 by an officer in the Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency. A fictitious company was established in Hungary as part of the elaborate plan. The pagers were then delivered to Beirut's Dahieh neighborhood, a Hezbollah stronghold, before being remotely detonated.
The operation, which stunned the world, is being revisited two years later. It is considered one of the most intricate operations in Israel's history, demonstrating a sophisticated intelligence and execution capability.
