Who Activated the Pagers?

It seems that pagers held by members of Hezzbollah were hacked and exploded, injuring at least 3,800 terrorists. This story was reported world-wide late Tuesday morning.

 

Many sources, including The Jerusalem Post, USA Today and many other outlets and sites have continued to update it all day.

A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the "biggest security breach" the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of war with Israel.

Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah have been engaged in cross-border warfare since the Gaza war erupted last October, the worst such escalation in years.

At this point, while Hezzbollah is claiming it was an Israeli cycyber-attack, no confirmation or denial has come from the IDF or anyone from the Israeli government.

The Iranian ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was reportedly wounded in the explosion, according to Iranian state-owned Mehr News Agency, as were a variety of senior Hezbollah officials and relatives of the terrorist group’s parliamentary MPs.

Perhaps, it might be in Iran’s best interest to rein in their client groups, lest additional harm find its way to Tehran. Even if Israel did not do this, knowing that the Israelis have an excellent tech industry, it would make eminent sense.

After all, is Iran really interested in starting a war with a nuclear and technological powerhouse? I can’t believe the Ayatollah and his Mullahs would be THAT brazen or worse, THAT stupid.

But then, maybe they are.
