How Mossad Planted Explosives In European Made Pagers Triggering Blasts Via Coded Messages

On Tuesday, Hezbollah's pagers, specifically AR-924 models manufactured by BAC Consulting KFT in Hungary, exploded in Lebanon and Syria, resulting in the deaths of at least nine people, including an 8-year-old girl, and injuring over 2,000. The attacks, which have been attributed to Israel by Hezbollah and the Lebanese government, involved Mossad allegedly tampering with the pagers during production. Explosives were concealed near the lithium batteries, designed to last up to 85 days, making them suitable for regions with frequent power outages. At 3:30 p.m., a message from Israel, appearing to come from Hezbollah’s High Command, triggered the explosives, causing the pagers to overheat and detonate. The explosions led to widespread panic, resulting in bloodshed and chaos in public areas such as shops, cafes, and streets.
