Israel’s Mossad spy agency planted explosives inside 5,000 pagers imported by Lebanese group Hezbollah months before yesterday’s detonations, a senior Lebanese security source and another source tell Reuters.
The operation was an unprecedented Hezbollah security breach that saw thousands of pagers detonate across Lebanon, killing nine people and wounding nearly 3,000, including the Hezbollah fighters and Iran’s envoy to Beirut.
