Former agents from Israel's Mossad have revealed details about a decade-long operation to infiltrate Hezbollah by supplying them with explosive-laden pagers and walkie-talkies. Speaking on CBS's "60 Minutes," agents "Michael" and "Gabriel" described how, starting in 2022, they created shell companies and elaborate marketing campaigns to sell the devices to Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon and Syria. The devices were advertised as durable and waterproof, with the agents noting, "We create a pretend world. We are a global production company. We write the screenplay. We're the directors. We're the producers. We're the main actors. The world is our stage." The operation culminated three months ago with explosions that killed an estimated 30 Hezbollah militants. The agents emphasized that the devices were designed to minimize collateral damage, targeting only the intended individuals.
