Massive Pager Blast: Axios Named the Goal of Israeli Operation Against Hezbollah.
Israel Conducted Intelligence Without US Notification
American officials reported that Israel conducted intelligence by blowing up thousands of Hezbollah members' pagers and did not inform the Biden administration about this operation. The decision to conduct the intelligence was made at a security meeting attended by Benjamin Netanyahu and his cabinet, along with security officials. This operation took place right after the visit of a US envoy who warned Netanyahu about the consequences of escalating the conflict in Lebanon.
The operation resulted in casualties among Lebanese residents, including a child, and injured more than 2750 people, including Hezbollah members and its military units. This intelligence also led to disruptions in Hezbollah's command and control system. According to Israeli officials, they are aware of the possibility of escalation on the northern border and are in a state of heightened readiness for a possible Hezbollah response.
According to the source, Israel conducted this intelligence to move to a new phase in the fight against Hezbollah while avoiding a full-scale war. The goal of this operation was to undermine Hezbollah's confidence and create the impression that they are fully controlled by Israeli intelligence services.
