Doesn't the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah use pagers and/or walkie-talkies....
Extracts:
Hezbollah's exploding pagers and now also walkie-talkies
It is hard to think of an attack more calculated to sow fear and confusion
Hezbollah relies heavily on pagers for the group’s communications. Mobile phones have long since been abandoned as simply too vulnerable - as Israel’s assassination of a Hamas bombmaker demonstrated as long ago as 1996
But today’s attacks of Hezbollah's exploding pagers and now also walkie-talkies, were terrifying in their scope
Hezbollah members were blown up in supermarkets, on the street, in their cars, at home, next to their children Incidents were reported from all across Lebanon, from Beirut to the Bekaa Valley. Even from neighbouring Syria
Iranian state TV confirmed that Tehran’s ambassador in Lebanon was among those injured
Each explosion may have been small but some resulted in catastrophic injuries One particularly graphic image showed a lifeless young man slumped in a barber’s chair, his face bloodied
At a time when Hezbollah and Israel have been locked in a low-level war for almost a year, these attacks will have devastating consequences for Hezbollah’s manpower, communications and morale
Israel has yet to comment but this was undoubtedly its work - no other group or country has the motivation or capacity to do something like this
It is the latest in a series of sophisticated military and undercover operations that have included since mid-July 2024 a long-range air raid in Yemen as well as assassinations in Beirut and Tehran
