Lebanon was rocked by serial blasts for two consecutive days, causing chaos everywhere. On the first day, 12 Hezbollah terrorists were killed in a pager blast, and about 4,000 were injured. On Wednesday, 25 more terrorists died in the walkie-talkie and solar panel blasts, with hundreds more injured. Hezbollah has blamed Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad, for these attacks. However, Israel has not directly commented on these explosions.
According to a report by The New York Times, Hezbollah fell victim to a cyber operation by Mossad. The pagers Hezbollah had purchased were not from Taiwan's Apollo Gold Company, as they thought. They were made in Hungary by a front company set up by Mossad officers to deceive Hezbollah. Mossad had planned this for several years.

Since 2022, Hezbollah had been buying pagers from this front company, and Mossad had cleverly placed PETN explosives in the pagers. When Hezbollah's chief Hassan Nasrallah instructed his operatives to stop using cell phones, the Mossad company received even more orders for these pagers. Thousands of explosive-laden pagers had reached Hezbollah operatives, and Israel began detonating them at the opportune moment.
Shocking Revelations in the Report
The question now is, did Mossad play a similar game with the walkie-talkies? When walkie-talkies started exploding in Lebanon on Wednesday, Hezbollah was caught off guard. Mossad officers were reportedly pleased with their success. The New York Times report reveals how Mossad tricked Hezbollah. It details the front company that manufactured the explosive pagers. Many company names were displayed on the door of the headquarters, misleading Hezbollah into thinking it was a legitimate company. However, it was not linked to Taiwan's Apollo Gold or a Hungarian firm.

Israel Created Shell Company
The report suggests that the company named BAC Consulting was an Israeli shell company established by Mossad officers to infiltrate Hezbollah. Two more shell companies were set up to avoid suspicion. Since 2022, Hezbollah has been purchasing pagers filled with PETN explosives from these companies, and Mossad detonated them at the right time. Hezbollah remained unaware of this for two years.
Japanese Company Did Not Make Explosive Walkie-Talkies
On October 7, after Hamas attacked Israel, Hezbollah's chief Hassan Nasrallah instructed his operatives to stop using cell phones, further enabling Mossad to supply more explosive pagers. Regarding the walkie-talkie explosions, it is suspected that Mossad supplied them too, as Japan's Icom Corporation clarified that they had stopped manufacturing the model that exploded over 10 years ago.

Icom stated, “The IC-V82 is a handheld radio set that was manufactured and exported between 2004 and October 2014, including to the Middle East. It was discontinued about 10 years ago and has not been shipped from our company since then.”
This leads to the strong suspicion that Hezbollah purchased these handsets from a fake company set up by Mossad. Israel has not commented on this yet. However, if The New York Times report holds, it implies that Mossad sold pagers and walkie-talkies to Hezbollah, collected money from them, and used these devices to eliminate Hezbollah operatives.
