Israel launches strikes on southern Lebanon as IDF fighter jets break sound barrier above Beirut

[Beastly Boy]

5. There are unconfirmed reports of Mossad-run shell companies established prior to 10/7,

particularly in Hungary and Bulgaria, that had ties to the"pager thing", but this doesn't by any means indicate that the "pager thing" was formulated or executed before 10/7. In fact, there is no evidence of any company anywhere that had ties to the "pager thing" before 2024. The Taiwanese company whose name appears on the pagers denies it manufactured them. Hungarian government denies the pagers were manufactured in Hungary. Hezbollah officials themselves are on record stating that they don't know where, when or how these pagers were manufactured or rigged, neither are they able to establish a contiguous chain of supply of these pagers to Hezbollah.

So while the existence of shell companies tied to Mossad around the world is likely, there are absolutely no grounds for your claim that "They didn't formulate and execute the pager thing since 10/7. It began before that."

Nor does your statement make any logistical sense. It is possible that sabotage of communication devices was formulated in principle, but it is not even theoretically possible to work out the specifics of such operation without the knowledge of Hezbollah's intention to replace cell phones with the technologically inferior pagers, which Hezbollah itself had no intention of implementing prior to February 2024 at the earliest.

Notwithstanding the mentions of "provocations" by various Israeli officials you are referring to, Hezbollah officials openly acknowledge that the escalation of rocket attacks on civilian targets in the north of Israel which resulted in the displacement of some 200,000 Israelis was prompted by the events in Gaza, not Lebanon, which, by a strange coincidence, didn't happen prior to October 7, 2023. It happened AFTER Hezbollah started targeting civilians in Israel, and Israel endured it for nearly a year before the pagers started exploding in the pockets of Hezbollah operatives.

I would venture a guess that any state anywhere in the world would run out of patience when enduring assaults on their territory for nearly a year.

But that's just me. Apparently, the notion of impunity in the face of a year of relentless cross-border assaults deliberately targeting civilians has its fans.
