It was on Tuesday last week that several paging sites exploded in Lebanon and Syria. A pager is a simple device compared to smartphones. They work with radio technology and are more difficult to track for the uninitiated. Hezbollah uses these to communicate with each other. According to Amnesty International, at least 37 people have been killed and around 3,000 injured. Hezbollah is to blame for Israel. Israel has not responded to these debts. See step by step how the attack must have been planned and carried out: A company in Hungary pretended to produce pagers, of which Hezbollah is said to have ordered 5,000. What they did not know was that Israel was behind the company. In the pagers they hid explosives and sent them to Lebanon. Hezbollah still knew nothing about Israel’s involvement and used the equipment. Seconds after Israel pressed the button, it exploded all over Lebanon. Several were killed and many were injured, both adults and children. Source: Anonymous sources to the New York Times (NYT) and investigations by BBC Verify. Israel has denied that it was behind the attack. Published 24.09.2024, at 12.21 Updated 24.09.2024, at 12.25 p.m
