All of them from the zone of Hezbollla's range, all of them since October 8, 2023, when Hezbollah severely escalated their rocket attacks on Israel. Kudos to Israel for giving a shit about their civilians, but that doesn't change the facts or the numbers. Nor does it change Israel's mission to return civilians to their homes.
Should the Lebanese not tire of assaults on their territory? They absolutely should, but the Lebanese army is powerless against the vastly superior Iran-funded Hezbollah forces who are in complete control of Lebanon's territories south of Sidon, if not the entire country. And I would venture a guess that Hezbollah forces are not particularly amenable to the wishes of the Lebanese people.
I am not particularly impressed by articles from the Arab press, but for argument's sake, are they talking about pagers arriving in Lebanon, or particular brands of pagers with particular specifications that are traceable to the exploding pagers in question? What is their methodology in determining the relevance of earlier pagers? I have no clue. Do they? Do you? And you are underestimating the Mossad. It is easy as pie to establish, as a non-specific contingency, a shell company somewhere in Hungary way in advance of a particular mission it may be used for. It is easy as pie to figure out how to use, say, enemy smart phones to gain access to information.The difficulty comes when Nasrallah gives orders to all Hezbollah operatives to ditch their smart phones and begins a search for a vendor of pagers to switch his entire operation to pagers. This is when the hypothetical Hungarian shell company gains purpose. Still, with sufficient connections to manufacturers, license providers and supply chains, which is rather easy to imagine Mossad would have, three weeks between receiving intelligence about Nasrallah's intentions and delivering 3000 pagers should be sufficient. I bet there is an outfit or three in Sri Lanka that would do it in a week, no questions asked. If they could do it with fake Rolex watches, putting explosive-laced circuit boards into plastic cases is a piece of cake. And FedEx could ship them all to the Hungarian shell company overnight, for delivery to Hezbollah buyers the next day.
You can believe it or not, as can I, but it is easily within the realm of possibility. And probability.
