After Tuesday’s attacks on Hizbollah’s pagers, which left Lebanon in shock, there were new explosions in Beirut on Wednesday.
This time it will be the group’s walkie-talkies that are exposed.
According to Reuters sources, Hezbollah ordered 5,000 new pagers this spring, and is said to have bought walkie-talkies at the same time.
– If you manage to find out which channels they use to acquire this equipment, because these are quite niche products, then you have a certain opportunity to try to attack on that end, says Tony Ingesson, researcher in intelligence analysis at Lund University.
According to military sources to the New York Times, Israel is behind the act through a collaboration between the IDF and the Mossad. Israel has neither commented nor claimed responsibility for the act.
