What preceded:
On September 17, hundreds of Hezbollah fighters in Beirut and other cities were injured when their pagers, which they used to communicate, exploded. Lebanon believes the pagers were hacked and remotely detonated by Israel. 12 people died, including members of the Hezbollah group. It is also known about more than 2,700 wounded.
Citing a high-ranking informant in the Lebanese security agencies, Reuters reported that Israel’s Mossad intelligence service planted a small amount of explosives in 5,000 Taiwanese pagers ordered by the Lebanese group Hezbollah a few months before the explosions.
