Israeli Pager Operation Undermined Hezbollah's Image of Invincibility
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
An Israeli operation using specially designed pagers detonated on September 17, 2024, killing dozens and wounding thousands within Hezbollah, shattering the image of invincibility surrounding its leader Hassan Nasrallah. The operation, developed over years by Israeli intelligence and Mossad, involved creating and marketing a booby-trapped pager through a complex supply chain, which Hezbollah unknowingly acquired. The subsequent military strikes dismantled key Hezbollah infrastructure and leadership, including Nasrallah himself.
