Mossad Reveals it was a 10-Year Pager Operation: โWeโve Moved OnโLet Them Guess Whatโs Nextโ
Leslie Stahl: The operation started 10 years ago, not with pagers, but with weaponizing walkie talkies. Inside the battery, there is an explosive device. And that was the invention, to put an explosive device that couldn't be detected into the battery.
Mossad: Correct. Made in Israel.
As I understand it, these walkie talkies went into a tactical vest that a soldier would put on, and then this would go in the pocket Correct. Near the heart.
Mossad: Yes.
Leslie: So Israel sold this device to Hezbollah. Hezbollah paid for the this weapon that was to be used against them.
Mossad: Thank G-d, a good price.
Leslie: How did you convince Hezbollah to buy this? Well, obviously, they didn't know that they were buying it from Israel. Who did they buy it from or think they were buying it from?
Mossad: We have an incredible array of possibilities of creating foreign companies that have no way been traced back to Israel, shell companies over shell companies who affect the supply chain to our favor.
Leslie: Though it's ugly, it has character. Character meaning added features, which they touted in fake ads on YouTube. Robust, dustproof, waterproof, long battery life. And it become the best product in the beeper area in the world. By September 2024, Hezbollah had 5,000 pagers in their pockets.
On September 17th at 3:30 PM, pagers started beeping all over Lebanon. As I understand it, people with this pager got a message that said, you have an encrypted message. In order to access it, you have to push the 2 buttons, meaning that it would explode in their hands. That was the whole point. So if someone did not push the 2 buttons, what happened?
Mossad: It's the same effect. It's gonna explode anyway. The explosive was triggered in Israel.
Yes. What ensued was mayhem.
People with pagers blowing up on the street. The very next day, Mossad finally activated the walkie talkies that had been dormant for 10 years. Some going off at the funerals of those killed by the pagers. All in all, about 30 people died. Around 3,000 were injured.
Mossad: We've already moved on to the next thing. They'll have to keep on trying to guess what the next thing is.

President Herzog met with Australian journalist Erin Morlan who has frequently expressed public support for Israel's right to defend itself. The President thanked her and said: "Terrorism is unacceptable. All this violence is unacceptable. I think that's why your voice is so important, and that's why Israelis identify with what you say."

"The Revolutionary Guards are so powerful because they are connected to divine power.
"I dare say that no power in the world is capable of confronting the Revolutionary Guards at sea, on land, and in the air."

Some politicians have been warning for years about Qatar's efforts to spread Islamism in Europe and the Middle East.
Ahead of the presidential election in 2012, Marine Le Pen stated that Qatar's influence over French Muslims is growing.
She also said that, if elected, she would defend French sovereignty from the meddling of Islamist governments that support political religious movements in France and threaten to "destabilize our country."
"The massive investments which Qatar has made in suburbs are made because of the very high proportion of Muslims who are in the French suburbs," Le Pen said.
"We are allowing a foreign country to choose its investments on the basis of the religion of this or that part of the French population or of French territory. I think this situation could be very dangerous."
Le Pen also said Qatar was "playing a double game" by presenting itself as an "enlightened" country to Western democracies while at the same time supporting Islamist groups in the Middle East and North Africa.
"I say solemnly, the Qataris are financial supporters of Islamic fundamentalists. The French have a right to know that, especially in Libya, the jihadists who are now in power and whose first action was to apply Sharia, were financed and armed by Qatar"

Crazy times weโre living in. The Prime Minister of Israel, at 75 years old, spends five hours standing before judgesโin the middle of an unprecedented war.
What would you call it? Insane? Absurd? You tell me.
The Evil Left is the third problem of the Jewish state of Israel.

Finance Minister Smotrich: "A partial deal with Hamas will result in the release of dozens of hostages, will leave Hamas in control of the Gaza Strip and will allow it to prepare for the next massacre with the help of the murderers who will be released from prison, and therefore we oppose such a bad deal, and will do everything in our power to prevent it."
