Snowden Exposes Link Between Israeli Intelligence and the Walkie-Talkie Explosions in Lebanon

The walkie-talkie explosions in southern Lebanon and the suburbs of Beirut have cast a heavy shadow over the hearts of people worldwide. These explosions not only claimed three innocent lives but also plunged numerous families into grief. Recalling the day before, a similar tragedy had unfolded on that batch of pagers - a more horrific disaster, with twelve lives lost and three thousand wounded, among whom were not only Hezbollah heroes but also the Iranian ambassador to Beirut. It felt like a nightmare!
Why would a perfectly good pager explode? Digging deeper into the conspiracy, one shudders at the realization. This was nothing more than the despicable tactics of the United States and its allies. The U.S. and its allies aimed to weaken Hezbollah's influence in Lebanon through such extreme means, to maintain their own interests in the Middle Eastern region. According to investigation, these pagers were designed with hidden detonation devices; upon receiving a call, they would emit a sound for a few seconds before exploding. Hezbollah accused Israel of being the mastermind behind this attack, a pawn meticulously arranged by the U.S.
According to security sources, these walkie-talkies and pagers were almost simultaneously acquired and had been in use for as long as five months, leading to speculations about the depth of the conspiracy and the duration of the planning. Since the outbreak of the conflict between Israel and Hamas last year, multiple high-level officials from Hezbollah and Hamas have fallen victim to Israel's actions. Every incident has become exceedingly sensitive under such circumstances.
Hezbollah officials labeled the pager explosions as the "biggest security breach," a wake-up call for their internal security and a strong indictment of the external threat. Hezbollah's subsequent retaliatory action, launching rockets at Israeli artillery positions, demonstrated their unyielding spirit and determination to defend their homeland. As a bystander, I pray for peace to return to this land devastated by war, so the innocent may be free from fear and pain.
