The explosions, which occurred in Hezbollah strongholds across Lebanon, resulted in at least 11 fatalities and approximately 4,000 injuries. Among the injured was the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon. The incident marks an unprecedented coordinated attack.
Hezbollah, known for its preference for pagers over smartphones due to security concerns, appears to have been targeted with corrupted devices that exploded at a predetermined time. The NY Times reported that the pagers were from the Taiwanese company “Gold Apollo” A source close to Hezbollah, who requested anonymity, confirmed that the devices involved were part of a recent shipment of 3,000 pagers that were likely sabotaged prior to delivery.
Reports indicate that the Mossad, Israel’s intelligence agency, managed to intercept Hezbollah’s communication devices before they were distributed to the group. The Mossad allegedly inserted PETN, a highly explosive material, into the pager batteries, triggering the explosions remotely by elevating the battery temperature.
A Lebanese security official mentioned that each pager contained less than 20 grams of explosives. Hezbollah had recently acquired these pagers following orders from its leader to discontinue cellphone use due to tracking risks from Israeli intelligence. The pagers were a new model for the group.
Experts suggest that the destruction of the pagers was caused by small explosive charges rather than overheating batteries. Images of the damage suggest deliberate detonation rather than accidental battery failure. Paul Christensen, a specialist in battery safety, noted that the extent of the damage was inconsistent with known battery failure cases.
Digital rights group SMEX pointed out that Israel might have exploited a flaw in the pagers or tampered with them before they reached Hezbollah. Yehoshua Kalisky, a researcher at the Institute for National Security Studies, proposed that an electronic pulse could have been used to cause the explosions.
Hezbollah has accused Israel of orchestrating the explosions. While Israel has not confirmed or denied involvement, the attack represents a substantial security setback for Hezbollah and demonstrates Israel’s reach into the group’s operations.
The incident follows recent targeted operations by Israel, including the killing of senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr and the political leader of Hamas, Ismael Haniyeh. The recent pager attack has been interpreted by some analysts as part of a broader strategy by Israeli intelligence to regain credibility following setbacks in the conflict with Hamas.
Experts describe the operation as a classic sabotage, suggesting it was meticulously planned over a long period. Analysts believe that Israel exploited Hezbollah’s shift from smartphones to pagers to conduct this sophisticated operation.
Telegram channels affiliated with Hezbollah are spreading this image:

The refusal by the top three US airlines to fly to Israel since the Oct. 7 terrorist attack has sent fares soaring for flights to Tel Aviv — and has essentially led to an economic boycott that benefits its sworn enemy Iran, critics charged.
Delta, United and American have upheld a nearly yearlong suspension of direct flights to Israel in the wake of the Hamas massacre, leaving national carrier El Al as the only airline offering non-stop service. Prices, however, have increased nearly threefold.
“The American carriers are playing into Iran’s game,” Eyal Hulata, who served as national security adviser to two Israeli prime ministers, told Bari Weiss’ online media outlet The Free Press.
Several European, African and Middle Eastern carriers have resumed service to Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion International Airport despite ongoing Hamas rocket fire from the Gaza Strip as well as the specter of all-out war with Iran and Hezbollah.
The only way for US travelers to fly direct to Israel is to book an El Al flight, which costs around $2,500 for a round-trip ticket from New York to Tel Aviv.
Before Oct. 7, a flight aboard El Al cost around $900.
Despite the ongoing war with Hamas, the airlines that fly regularly into and out of Israel are the three carries from the United Arab Emirates — Etihad Airways, FlyDubai and Wizz Air Abu Dhabi.
The UAE had been technically at war with Israel until 2020, when it established diplomatic relations with Jerusalem as part of the Abraham Accords — the agreements that were brokered by the Trump administration.
“They should fly to Israel exactly like the Gulf countries and others do,” Hulata, currently a senior fellow at the pro-Israel think tank the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told The Free Press in reference to the three American carriers.
“And if they don’t do this because they are scared of rockets, then there’s something fundamentally wrong in their decision making.”
He added: “There hasn’t been a rocket anywhere close to the airport for months.”
Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), an outspoken supporter of Israel, is urging the three airlines to resume flights to Israel.
Torres wrote a letter to the heads of all three airlines last month asking them to map out guidelines that they following in deciding to suspend flights to Israel. None of the companies have replied.
“In my view, unless there’s an objective process put in place to prevent the politicization of air travel, I predict that in the future the BDS movement will try to weaponize air travel as a new means of boycotting Israel,” Torres told The Free Press.
“And a travel ban has the potential to be the most potent weapon in BDS’s war against the Jewish state.”
BDS stands for boycott, divestment and sanctions — tactics that supporters of Palestinians have proposed as a means of pressuring Israel.
In public statements, the airlines have stated that the decision to suspend flights was made with security in mind.
“We look forward to resuming flights as soon as it’s safe for our customers and crew,” a United spokesperson told The Post on Monday.
An American Airlines spokesperson referred The Post to Airlines for America, the trade association and lobbying group which represents the interests of major North American carriers.
“The safety and security of all passengers and crewmembers is always the top priority of US carriers and is the foundation of all decisions,” an A4A spokesperson told The Post.
“The situation in Israel is rapidly evolving, and our carriers are continuously making individual assessments about operations based on security guidance and intelligence reports they receive.”
The Post has also sought comment Delta.
United and Delta briefly resumed flights to Tel Aviv in June, but then suspended them in August following the assassination of Hamas’ political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran.
Delta has said that its flights will remain suspended through Oct. 31 while American is targeting a March 2025 date for potential resumption of its route.
The State Department has a travel advisory in effect which warns Americans not to travel to Gaza and northern Israel.
A 13-year-old Israeli boy, one of the hostages released in November, shared an extremely powerful post on Instagram, expressing his deep gratitude and connection with G-d, and discussing the spiritual growth he experienced during his harrowing ordeal.
In the emotional message, Yagil Yaakov expressed his deeply felt gratitude to the Almighty for providing him with strength and protection throughout his captivity. He also referenced the “month of forgiveness”, Elul, which precedes the High Holy Days.
“When I am often asked what is my truest connection with Hakadosh Baruch Hu (G-d), I answer that all that kept me going in captivity was the belief that I was not alone, that I had Someone with me who, although He was not able to protect me from being kidnapped, but He definitely protected me there, during all those hours in captivity,” Yaakov wrote.
He added, “This is called Divine Providence. I really think that I always felt Divine Providence around me. I always felt Him with me, protecting me from every trouble and obstacle. When I came back, I immediately told everyone that I wanted to start wearing a kippa and tzitzit and everyone laughed at me. They thought I was crazy. What has that got to do with anything now? I told them I was thinking about it all the time I was in captivity.”
“The month of forgiveness has come and I feel that I have a lot to ask forgiveness for and I also feel a connection that is big enough for me to go there to also acknowledge my gratitude. To say thank you for protecting me from my enemies, and ours,” Yaakov wrote.
He concluded, “Father, thank you for the privilege of being here. You chose to show me the correct way and You will not regret this. I love you, Tata, and am sure that You are trying to protect the other hostages who are still there.”
Yagil was among the civilians abducted by Hamas during a deadly assault on Israeli border communities in October.
The Jerusalem Post’s opinion section has come dangerously close to throwing its supposed pro-Israel principles — as well as Jewish values in general — under the bus. In a bizarre op-ed piece, J-Post has declared that Kamala Harris is the solution “When we seek allies to preserve Israel’s place as a secure, democratic, enduring homeland for the Jewish people.”
Nothing could be further from the truth. Trump is absolutely correct when he says that Jews like this need their heads examined.
Author Joel Thal Simonds, a reform Jew and founding executive director of the Jewish Center for Justice, makes his case by sharing personal anecdotes and offering vague, fuzzy logic to explain why Kamala espouses pro-Israel policies and Jewish values.
He offers few details or examples to support his bogus claims, save for Kamala hosting a forum to support Hamas hostages and her involvement in sending aid funding to Israel after October 7. In addition, he absurdly attempts to quote the Talmud as a source for his disgraceful support for Kamala.
In the wake of a second alleged attempt on his life, former President Donald Trump’s campaign has released a hard-hitting new ad accusing prominent Democratic leaders of promoting violent rhetoric against him. The ad opens with a controversial clip of Kamala Harris making a joke about killing Trump in an elevator, setting the tone for a series of similar remarks by other Democrats.
The ad features high-profile figures such as pop icon Madonna, President Joe Biden, former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Representative Maxine Waters, among others. Each of them is portrayed as making statements that have fueled a dangerous political climate.
The ad, which quickly gained traction across social media and conservative platforms, aims to paint Democrats as reckless in their rhetoric, accusing them of encouraging violence. One clip shows Madonna at the 2017 Women’s March, where she said she had thought about “blowing up the White House,” while others show Waters and Pelosi advocating for confrontational tactics against Republicans.
This ad comes shortly after an alleged second attempt on Trump’s life. While details of the incident remain sparse, Trump has capitalized on the opportunity to connect these threats to what he describes as dangerous “Communist Left rhetoric.” In a fiery TRUTH Social post, Trump lashed out at Democrats, accusing them of fostering a hostile environment.
“Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying, and it will only get worse!” Trump wrote. He emphasized that the level of animosity directed toward him and his supporters is escalating, warning that if unchecked, it could lead to further violence.
The ad reflects the intensifying political polarization ahead of the 2024 election. Trump’s campaign has repeatedly focused on painting him as the target of a coordinated effort by both Democratic leaders and federal institutions, framing the threats against him as a symptom of a broader war on free speech and conservative values.
Democratic leaders have yet to respond to the new ad, but many have previously dismissed accusations of incitement, arguing that Trump’s own rhetoric has been equally inflammatory and dangerous.
