A U.S. official said that several minutes before the pagers started exploding across Lebanon, Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant called U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and told him Israel was going to conduct an operation in Lebanon soon, but refused to give any specific details.


    The U.S. official said the Israelis didn't tell the U.S. about the specifics of the operation, but added that Gallant's call was an attempt to avoid keeping the U.S. totally in the dark.
    Nevertheless, U.S. officials said they didn't see Gallant's call as a serious prior notice. "We were not aware of this operation and were not involved," U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters on Tuesday.
    Austin spoke to Gallant on the phone twice on Tuesday and discussed the situation, Israeli and U.S. officials said.

Driving the news: The operation was approved earlier this week during security meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior members of his cabinet and the heads of the security services, a source with knowledge said.

    It took place a day after U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein visited Israel and warned Netanyahu of the consequences of a major escalation in Lebanon.
    On Tuesday, Netanyahu and Israel's Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant spent several hours at the IDF command center in Tel Aviv, an Israeli official said.

Blinken says US "did not know" about Lebanon pager attacks, urges "all parties" not to escalate conflict
From CNN's Rob Picheta and Kylie Atwood

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has urged “all parties” in the Middle East to avoid “any steps that could escalate the conflict” in Gaza, after Lebanon blamed Israel for a series of pager explosions that targeted Hezbollah members.

Blinken said during a news conference in Egypt that the United States “did not know about nor was it involved in these incidents.”

“We’re still gathering the information and gathering the facts,” Blinken told reporters. “We remain very clear about the importance of all parties avoiding any steps that could further escalate the conflict in Gaza.”

Blinken was talking alongside Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty who condemned the attacks and warned that escalations could lead to the Middle East “moving to the edge of comprehensive regional war.”



“We will condemn any targeting of the Lebanese sovereignty,” he added.

Mossad reportedly put explosives in thousands of pagers during production
before devices reached Lebanon, planning to detonate them in the event of full-scale war


Israel caused thousands of Hezbollah terror group pagers to explode Tuesday, killing nine people and wounding nearly 3,000, amid fears that Hezbollah was about to uncover that the devices had been tampered with, according to Wednesday reports.

Israeli intelligence services originally wanted to detonate the pagers as an opening blow in an all-out war against Hezbollah, Axios reported, citing American and Israeli officials. They chose to act early, however, when a Hezbollah member became suspicious of the devices and planned to alert his superiors, Al-Monitor reported.

Just days earlier, a different Hezbollah member had come to suspect the devices had been tampered with, and then he was killed, Al-Monitor said.

Upon learning of the suspicions, Israeli leaders reportedly considered launching an immediate full-scale war in order to retain the pager attack as an opening blow. They also considered leaving things as they were, even at the risk of the operation being compromised, according to the Al-Monitor report.

Israel has not commented on the detonations, neither claiming nor denying responsibility.

@ Reply #81,

Yes bobby, that [the fear of potential discovery] would be an incentive,
to activate the option, to injure so many Hezbollah operatives.

Use it, before you lose it.
