Israel used booby-trapped pagers as a Trojan horse to attack Hezbollah
According to The New York Times, Israel has prepared a series of booby-trapped pagers for Hezbollah in Lebanon using shell companies. These devices were loaded with explosives and began to be delivered to Lebanon in the summer of 2022.
The New York Times has published an investigation into how Israel prepared booby-trapped pagers for Hezbollah in Lebanon, using shell companies as a cover. B.A.C. Consulting, a company established in Hungary, produced these devices to order for the Taiwanese firm Gold Apollo, but the real developers of the pagers were Israeli intelligence officers. Pagers filled with PETN explosives began to be delivered to Lebanon in the summer of 2022, just at the time when Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah recommended his organization to abandon smartphones due to the threat of hacking by Israeli intelligence services. These devices turned out to be a "Trojan horse", prepared for a future war. Events show that Israel was planning actions against Hezbollah and other groups long before the massive invasion by Hamas on October 7, 2023, when militants broke through the Israeli protective barrier on the border with the Gaza Strip.
