The Israeli security establishment has slammed PM Benjamin Netanyahu for revealing classified details of the September 2024 pager blasts in Lebanon. Netanyahu on April 27 said that Israel bombed a scanning machine that Iran sent to Lebanon once Hezbollah suspected that its pagers were booby-trapped.“We learned that Hezbollah had sent three beepers to be scanned in Iran; we had previously bombed the scanner they were going to bring in, so we got rid of that, and the guy who operates it”, Netanyahu said while speaking at a Jewish News Syndicate conference on April 27.On September 17, thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah operatives across Lebanon suddenly began to explode, killing over two dozen. A day later, hundreds of walkie-talkies also blew up, injuring or killing scores more.Israel had concealed small explosives inside the devices before they were delivered to Hezbollah, as a weapon ready to be deployed at any time. n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION3:42 US MADE AWARE AS ISRAEL STRIKES BEIRUT SUBURBS5:42 HEZBOLLAH CHIEF SLAMS “UNJUSTIFIED AGGRESSION”
