On Tuesday, an unprecedented attack occurred in Lebanon and Syria due to the explosion of beepers belonging to Hezbollah members. Approximately 3,000 people were injured in the incident, while at least 12 lost their lives. Security experts believe that the Israeli foreign intelligence agency Mossad is behind this large-scale security breach. According to claims, the attack was carried out through a complex operation extending from Hungary to Taiwan, with Mossad collaborating with some units of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). According to the details of the operation, a small amount of high explosives was placed in communication devices sent to Lebanon in the spring of this year. These rigged devices were then distributed to thousands of members across various branches of Hezbollah and detonated remotely on Tuesday afternoon. While officials in Jerusalem refrained from commenting on the incident, Hezbollah pointed to Israel as responsible for the attack and vowed retaliation. An American official, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that Israel informed the U.S. after the attack but did not provide details. Security sources, regional experts, and explosives specialists agree that such a comprehensive operation could only be carried out by Mossad and the IDF. As Hezbollah tries to assess the effects of this unexpected attack, Lebanese officials are also making intense efforts to clarify the details of the incident.
