Mossad agents behind audacious Hezbollah pager plot to COME FORWARD & lift lid on top secret mission in bombshell doc
THE masterminds behind the deadly Hezbollah pager plot are set to reveal exactly how they pulled off the calculated attacks.
Mossad agents who helped devise the plan will finally lift the lid in a bombshell documentary to reveal how it took a decade of undercover operations to pull off the coordinated strikes.
Retired Israeli government agents have taken part in the CBS 60 Minutes show and detailed the communications hack step-by-step.
Two men spoke to Lesley Stahl about the plan as they sat wearing black balaclavas and sunglasses to keep their identity a secret.
Their voices are also due to be altered in the interview.
The tell-all chat saw them speak on Mossad’s mass sabotage against Hezbollah back in September.
Agents blew up hundreds of pagers and walkie talkies carried by the terror group simultaneously across Lebanon.
At least 37 people were killed and over 3,000 injured in the remote-controlled device explosions.
The blitz sent a message to Iran and its proxies that Israel could attack hundreds of people at once in an instant.
The agents in the interview told Stahl they tested the devices “multiple times” to make sure they caused minimum damage to surrounding civilians.
One of the Mossad men said: “If we push the button the only one that will get injured is the terrorist himself.
“Even if his wife or his daughter will be just next to him, he’s the only one that going to be harmed.”
The interviews will form part of a wider investigative report into the pager blasts.
A spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office referenced that they were behind the attacks for the first time in November.
Lebanese security forces initially claimed Israeli Mossad spooks planted explosives inside thousands of old-school devices months before the blitz.
Top brass inside the militant group are said to have forced its fighters to swap phones for pagers in a failed move to keep Israel from tracking them.
Using this information Mossad forces managed to rig the devices with the explosive PETN after reportedly intercepting them on route to Lebanon.
Some reports claim the notorious spy agency even set up shell companies to build the devices from scratch themselves.
At the time, now assassinated Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah hit out against Israel saying the “enemy” had crossed “all limits, rules and red lines” in a “massacre”.
He even dubbed it a “declaration of war”.
Weeks later he was ruthlessly eliminated in a separate attack as Hezbollah’s chain of command rapidly crumbled.
Mossad agents have been on the hunt for terror targets ever since Hamas launched their barbaric October 7 assault last year.
The intelligence agency has an arsenal of top secret spy weapons that includes robot guns and poison syringes.
With an annual budget of nearly £2.2billion and more than 7,000 staff members, Israeli intelligence officers are constantly seeking revenge for the countless innocent Israeli deaths since conflict started to brew in the Middle East.
The 60 Minutes investigative report, featuring the interviews, is set to air on Sunday night at 7:30pm ET (00:30am UK time) on CBS.
Mossad's greatest hits
THE Israeli spy agency has carried out a number of pinpoint strikes across the years with many seeing specialised weaponry being used to eliminate their enemies.
Killer bomb blow
Back in July, Israel used a bomb smuggled months earlier into a Tehran guest house to assassinate the leader of Hamas.
Ismail Haniyeh was blown up at around 2am as he slept in one of the of the most secure sites in the Iranian capital.
It was initially unclear how Israel had carried out the attack, with some suspecting a drone had fired a missile.
Ultrasound poison syringes
In 2010, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh – one of the founders of Hamas’ military wing – was assassinated in his hotel room in Dubai.
A team of several dozen agents flew to Dubai on false passports, wearing wigs, outfits and false moustaches to disguise themselves as tourists and tennis players.
The suspected Mossad agents followed him into a hotel and allegedly used a high-tech ultrasound tool to inject poison into Mabhouh’s neck without even breaking the skin.
He was dead by 9pm that evening.
Remote controlled machine gun
In 2020, the so-called “Kidon Unit” inside Mossad assassinated Dr Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the mastermind of Iran’s suspected nuclear weapons programme,
Fakhrizadeh’s was killed with a remote control machine gun mounted to the back of a car – which was smuggled into Iran and assembled piece-by-piece.
Mossad agents used the remote controlled gun to to fire 13 hyper accurate shots that hit the scientist directly, the Jewish Chronicle reported.
