Experts Think Israel May Have Rigged 2,800 Pagers to Explode in Lebanon
Israel masterminded the coordinated attack that caused thousands of pagers across Lebanon to explode on Tuesday, injuring thousands in an operation targeting Hezbollah, according to The New York Times.
Some American and other officials briefed on the operation told the newspaper that the pagers had been intercepted and tampered with before reaching Lebanon.
A senior Lebanese security source told Reuters that Hezbollah had ordered 5,000 pagers from a Taiwan-based manufacturing firm called Gold Apollo. The company told reporters on Tuesday that the pagers had actually been made by a European company using the Gold Apollo brand.
