New film reveals previously undisclosed details of Mossad's Hezbollah pager operation
A year and a half after the mission that shocked the world, censorship regarding the Mossad's explosive pager operation against Hezbollah has been lifted, and new details have been revealed.
A new film titled Paging Hezbollah has shed light on the Mossad's 2024 explosive pager operation that resulted in the deaths or injuries of approximately three thousand five hundred Hezbollah operatives. Directed by Justin Polk, the film is set for release on October 30 and offers previously undisclosed details about the covert mission. The revelation comes as censorship laws surrounding the operation are being lifted, allowing for the publication of information that had remained hidden until now.
The film, based on the accounts of a Mossad operative known as "Adam Feyn," details how Israel infiltrated Hezbollah's communications network through device engineering and infiltration of the terrorist organization's supply chain. It illustrates the efforts taken to get the beepers into Hezbollah's hands, from the design and marketing stages to the smuggling process, all while convincing Hezbollah members that the devices were safe and reliable to use.
The operation, which required years of planning, aimed to eliminate Hezbollah operatives who had suspected the pagers were bugged and were attempting to inspect them for explosives.
Former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who revealed these details in an interview with N12, stated that the decision to carry out the operation was driven by necessity. He revealed that in the first week of August, there was an individual within Israel who suspected the pagers, leading to their elimination along with another person under various pretexts. The film highlights the urgency of the situation, as the discovery of inspection devices meant to examine the pagers forced Israel to act swiftly to prevent exposure.
As the film delves into the operation, it also features interviews with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Mossad chief David Barnea, providing additional context and insights. Netanyahu, who led the operation alongside Mossad officials, confirmed in April 2025 that Hezbollah had sent three pagers to Iran for scanning.
In response, Israel bombed a scanner that was about to be delivered to Iran and removed the person operating it. The film provides a comprehensive look at the meticulous planning and execution of the operation, showcasing the lengths to which Israel went to counter Hezbollah's communications capabilities.
