Mossad's best operation ever? From walkie-talkies to beepers to the Hezbollah takedown - exclusive
Mossad’s pager operation blindsided Hezbollah, stunned Washington, and exposed years of Israeli planning behind one of the most audacious intelligence operations in modern history.
On September 17, 2024, pagers began to beep and explode in Beirut and across Lebanon, alerting Hezbollah operatives to a message from their commanders. The unexpected blasts sent the terrorists flying off their motorcycles or collapsing as smoke billowed from their pockets, belts, or fingers. The attack killed or wounded approximately 3,500 Hezbollah operatives and caused other civilian casualties.
Mossad Director David Barnea was in panic mode, unsure of the operation's success. The operation was dubbed the most impressive supply-chain operation in modern intelligence history.
