“False.” A statement by a Lebanese airline regarding what happened to one of their planes

Israel’s Channel 12, citing Israeli and foreign sources, said that the pager devices in Lebanon were detonated “individually,” meaning that each device was targeted separately, and that it was an intelligence agent. a woman who was responsible for the design of the whole operation. 30 years old.

Mystery still surrounds how explosives were planted in thousands of buildings and placed in the hands of Hezbollah members, but what is very clear is that the intelligence operation will be remembered as one of the most daring jobs in modern history, according to the Washington Post.

After allegations that these attacks were “random,” which put civilian lives at risk, an Israeli TV channel report said that all of the pagers were detonated by their owners, on Tuesday. last time, “exploded on their own, because the attackers knew who the target was. , and where.” Yes, and are there others near.”

The channel pointed out that the attackers wanted to “make sure that only the person carrying the pager would be injured in the explosion. “

He quoted an unnamed foreign security source as saying: “Each congressman had their own arrangements in this way it was possible to control who was targeted and who was not.”

The report says: “They knew the contact of the person and his whereabouts so that the vegetable seller in the supermarket would not be hurt,” referring to a clip that was distribution after the explosion of people falling in a vegetable store.

The United Nations Human Rights Office and some human rights groups said the attacks on pagers and radios that took place last Tuesday and Wednesday were “random,” because “it’s almost impossible to know who was carrying the devices or where they were when they exploded. .”

International human rights groups called for independent investigations, as these attacks “could have violated international law,” according to a report published by the American network ABC News.

As a result of these attacks, at least 37 people died and around 3,000 others were injured, including many members of the Iran-backed Hezbollah, which is listed on terrorist lists in the United States and other countries.

In contrast, some academics argued that the explosions were “precisely targeted” because the devices were “circulated to Hezbollah members.”

The new Israeli report says that a foreign security source says that “tens of thousands of builders” were produced, and they were made with the knowledge that the customer would scrutinize them, so , that the tools had to work properly and not look like them. be loaded with explosives. Its appearance and weight remain unchanged.

Ronen Bergman, an investigative reporter for The New York Times and Yedioth Ahronoth, said, “The whole plan was caught by a brilliant female intelligence agent, no older than 30 years old, somewhere in the East Medium. “

The report states that the person in charge of the operation decided to set up a factory to produce the machines from scratch so that “it is not a machine that we handle, but a machine that we doing.”

Hezbollah accused Israel of being behind the Pager bombs, but Israel denied the allegations. On Sunday, Israeli President Isaac Herzog expressed his “rejection of his country’s connection” to the bombings, noting that “Hezbollah has many enemies.”

The report says Hezbollah bought more hostages after its military commander, Fouad Shukr, was killed in an Israeli attack in Beirut in July, and then used them more widely because he ‘ increasingly cautious against the use of mobile phones.

Channel 12 reports that a foreign source says that Israel has decided to intensify its measures against Hezbollah.

Amos Yadlin, the former head of military intelligence, said that Israel’s goal is to make Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah understand that his attacks on northern Israel “are costing him more than he is getting.”

The report says it would have been “better” for the large number of Hezbollah militants who detonated their devices to have been seriously injured rather than killed, with the aim of stressing health services in Lebanon, thereby increasing local pressure on Hezbollah.

A source told the channel that Israel spent years developing these capabilities for use against Hezbollah and Iran, but the plans did not include Hamas because it did not underestimate on the danger involved in the latter, which partially explains that he did not stop the October 7 attack.

Eyal Hulata, a former national security adviser, told Channel 12 after the report revealed that thousands of Israelis have been working for years to create capabilities to ensure security for Israel. “There are more possibilities like this,” he said, referring to recent events in Lebanon.

Hulata, the former head of Mossad’s technology branch, said that given the collapse of public confidence in the security establishment after the Hamas attack, “it is important that Israelis know this” – that is, high Israeli technology.

In the context of the escalation of acceleration between Hezbollah and Israel, the Ministry of Health of Lebanon announced, on Sunday, that 3 people were killed in a raid in the south of the country, and “hundreds of thousands of Israelis” had to take shelter in shelters.
