Hezbollah Hand-Held Radios Mysteriously Detonate Across Lebanon, Sources Report
A series of explosions rocked Lebanon on Tuesday, killing 12 people, including two children, and injuring nearly 3,000. The blasts were linked to pagers used by Hezbollah, a powerful Iran-backed militant group. On Wednesday, handheld radios carried by Hezbollah operatives also exploded in southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut.
Sources indicated that Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, was behind the operation. Explosives were allegedly planted inside the pagers months in advance, causing the unprecedented security breach for Hezbollah. The group described this as its “biggest security breach” to date.
Following the explosions, Hezbollah launched rocket attacks on Israeli artillery positions, signaling a response to the detonations. The group vowed further retaliation, accusing Israel of orchestrating the attack. Israel has not commented on the incident.
The pager devices were reportedly produced by BAC, a Budapest-based company licensed by a Taiwanese firm, Gold Apollo, which denied involvement in the production of the explosive devices. The attack has raised concerns of escalating tensions between Hezbollah and Israel, risking a broader Middle East conflict.
Amid the violence, Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi accused Israel of pushing the region toward a larger war. Hezbollah, which continues to support Hamas in Gaza, warned that Israel should prepare for more responses.
