According to initial news, now public on Al-Mayadeen, these were new pagers distributed recently. Hezbullah found a fault in them not long ago and started to roll back the distribution, but not in time or adequately? These details are as rumors, although laced with truth.
📷 Al-Monitor was informed that the detonation plan was meant for war, as a crippling factor during a wide-scale invasion of Lebanon that would put Hezbullah in a shock till defeat.

However because a fault was discovered in these pagers, and to not lose the damage element they could do, they went on with the operation now.

This is important, because it would have been catastrophic during war.

They claim two discovered it, but one was killed and the other unclear. This part is rumors, no suspicious death was reported recently.

On the other hand, the lack of a wave of airstrikes and initiation of war, only yet again shows how Israel still didn't decide to launch a war and a ground invasion in Lebanon. There was no better time than this evening.

🇹🇼l🇱🇧l🇮🇱 Taiwan's Gold Apollo pager company issued a statement stating:

- The pagers that exploded in Lebanon carry our trademark, but they were manufactured in Europe

- All AP924 Model Pager models were subcontracted to a company in Europe, about 5,000 in that batch to Lebanon

- The pagers were manufactured in through third party components

They are trying to clear Taiwan, which is mostly plausible, as Europe was always the hub for the Mossad historically when sabotaging supply chains.

📰 An opinion article by the Washington post about the events, sharing to show U.S. current standpoint

The US sense is that Hezbullah is confused, panicked and that it won’t make an immediate miliary response. If there is an attack, US officials believe Israel can contain the damage & if necessary, the US will help Israel.

When Hezbullah considers how to respond, they should consider that Israel may have more surprises for them. And Israel does,” one source familiar with Israeli thinking, told David Ignatius.

U.S. officials were in contact with Iran through a back channel on Tuesday to convey that the United States did not have any role on the attack: Ignatius

And because it appears to have Hezbollah’s number, quite literally, Israel can send messages warning surviving operatives that they will be killed if they try to retaliate, one U.S. source told Ignatius.

⭕️ Statement issued by the Islamic Resistance:

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

"Permission to fight has been given to those who are being fought, because they have been wronged. And indeed, Allah is competent to give them victory."

God Almighty is true


The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon extends its highest congratulations and warmest condolences to the families of the honorable martyrs who died yesterday, Tuesday, whether on the southern front in Blida and Majdal Silm, or the martyrs who died in the treacherous and widespread aggression through the bombing of communication devices (pagers). It also asks God Almighty to grant the dear wounded a speedy recovery.

The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon will continue today, as in all the past days, its blessed operations to support Gaza, its people, and its resistance, and to defend Lebanon, its people, and its sovereignty.

This path is continuous and separate from the difficult reckoning that the criminal enemy must await for its massacre on Tuesday that it committed against our people, our families, and our mujahideen in Lebanon.This is another reckoning that will come, God willing.

What happened yesterday will increase our determination and resolve to continue on the path of jihad and resistance, and we are absolutely certain of God Almighty’s promise to the faithful, patient mujahidin of victory, God willing.

And victory comes only from God, the Almighty, the Wise.

🇮🇱l🇱🇧 Additional western intelligence confirms that the timing of the operation was because Hezbullah uncovered the fault in the pager recently.

The U.S. officials were told by Israel, that they either had to use this asset, or lose it. "It was a use it or lose it moment," one U.S. official said describing the reasoning Israel gave the U.S. for the timing of the attack

It was a strategic asset meant before a ground invasion or 3rd Lebanon war opening wave, meant to cripple Hezbullah till defeat. It was meant to be the weapon that could tip the balance.

Currently there are 3,000 Lebanese hospitalized, exceeding Lebanon's health care ability.

🇱🇧l🇮🇷 Iran's ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was seriously injured in his eyes, according to several reports

A few decades ago, Israel tried to assassinate the Iranian ambassador in Syria, and a man who played a role in supporting the rise of Hezbullah, through a rigged book that exploded in this face. He survived, but suffered severe injuries.
