Israel planted explosives inside thousands of pagers imported by Hezbollah months before Tuesday’s unprecedented attack in Lebanon, according to sources cited by Reuters and US media. The Lebanese militant group blamed the major security breach on Israel’s spy agency the Mossad. Thousands of pagers detonated across Lebanon and also in Syria, killing at least 12 people, including two children, and injuring nearly 3,000 others, including 200 with critical injuries, according to the health minister, Firass Abiad. Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon was among those hurt.
