Pagers carried by hundreds of Hezbollah operatives exploded, leaving many of them injured in an unprecedented event that struck across Lebanon.

Israel tricked Hezbollah operatives into using both hands on their pager before detonating it to ensure maximum damage, according to a report. This was done to ensure the operative lost both their hands in the blast, rendering them unable to fight.

New details emerge of Israel’s elaborate plan to sabotage Hezbollah communications devices to kill or maim thousands of its operatives.
