Mossad's Pager Plot: A Decade of Deception

Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, orchestrated a complex, multi-year operation using weaponized walkie-talkies and pagers to severely weaken Hezbollah. The operation involved deceptive sales tactics to plant the devices, which were later remotely detonated, causing significant casualties and demoralization within Hezbollah ranks. This ultimately contributed to the end of the war between Israel and Hezbollah, along with the weakening of Iran and the fall of the Assad regime in Syria. The operation, while highly effective, raised significant ethical concerns regarding the collateral damage and potential reputational harm to Israel. Interviews with anonymous Mossad agents provided details of the planning and execution of this clandestine operation.
