Ex-Mossad agents reveal details of plan used to target Hezbollah through pagers

At least 39 Iran-backed Hezbollah members were killed and nearly 3,000 others injured when hundreds of pagers and walkie-talkies used by them exploded across Lebanon in an operation by Israel in September.

Israel's Mossad intelligence agency planted explosives inside pagers ordered by Hezbollah months before the blasts on September 17 and 18.

Two recently retired senior Mossad agents, who were among the key members behind the secret operation, told CBS News that the work on weaponizing the walkie-talkies began more than a decade before Israel used them in September after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu permitted the attack.
