A pager blast caused chaos in Lebanon's vegetable markets.
On September 17, pagers exploded in Lebanon. Hezbollah blamed Israel for this. Now American intelligence sources have also told ABC News that Israel had a hand in creating this pager. He was planning this for the last 15 years.
According to ABC News, shell companies were involved in the planning of the attack. Israeli intelligence officials at various levels were pushing the plan. Intelligence officials created a company that had been manufacturing pagers for a long time, according to records.
There were some people in the company who had no knowledge of this conspiracy. Sources said 25-50 grams of explosives were placed in the pager. They were also connected to a remote to trigger them.

Hezbollah bought pagers, walkie-talkies 5 months ago; Explosion in both
The pagers that exploded were bought by Hezbollah about 5 months ago. At the same time, another communication device, a walkie-talkie, was also purchased, which exploded on 18 September. In his speech on September 19, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah said that the organization's top leaders have old pagers. They did not have the new devices with which to attack.
Nasrallah said that Israel wanted to kill 5 thousand members of Hezbollah by pager. They already knew that Hezbollah used these devices. According to the report, the American intelligence agency CIA has long avoided this type of operation, as it could endanger the lives of civilians on a large scale.
Initial reports claimed that the pagers that exploded in Lebanon were manufactured by the Hungarian company BAC Consulting under contract with the Taiwanese company Gold Apollo. However, a Hungarian government spokesperson said the company that makes the pager has no factory in the country, nor were the pagers manufactured in Hungary.
Claim- Explosives were placed in 5 thousand pagers of Hezbollah
Earlier, the British news agency Reuters claimed in its report that Israel's intelligence agency Mossad planted explosives in 5,000 pagers of Hezbollah. These pagers work with the help of code. They were sent to Lebanon earlier this year. The source said it was very difficult to find the explosive inside the pager. It could not be detected by any device or scanner.
On September 17, a message was received on these pagers that activated the explosives. 12 people were killed in this attack. The dead included 8 Hezbollah members and 2 children. More than 3000 people including Iran's ambassador to Lebanon have been injured in this attack.
