Walkie-talkies and pagers remotely detonated, targeted strikes eliminating terror leaders using geolocation, and infiltrators carrying out operations deep inside Iran—modern technology plays a key role in Israel’s war against terror.
In September 2024, Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad conducted a widespread operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon, detonating thousands of pagers and walkie-talkies remotely. The attacks targeted the group’s communication system and those carrying them. The operation was a part of an escalating conflict in which Israel eliminated several of Hizbollah’s leaders
Former intelligence agents later revealed that Hezbollah had unknowingly used Israeli-made, explosive-rigged devices for ten years before they were detonated.
On September 17, thousands of pagers exploded simultaneously across Lebanon, specially in Hizbollah-dense areas; and the following day, walkie-talkies detonated in a similar manner. Hezbollah had purchased over 16,000 devices from a front company at a low price.
Ten days later, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut targeting the group’s underground headquarters. His death created a leadership crisis for both Hezbollah and Iran that finances, arms and trains the terror organisation, deeply rooted in the same ideology and that swears allegiance to Irans supreme leader—a loyalty deeper than to Lebanon itself.
On October 16, 2024, Israel eliminated Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar in Rafah following a chance encounter. On July 31 the same year both Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh and his personal bodyguard were eliminated while staying at a special military hotel in Teheran after attending the installation ceremony of Iran’s president Masoud Pezeshkian
On February 28, 2026, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed in Tehran as part of coordinated U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran’s top leaders using precise location intelligence.
In January 2018, twenty Mossad agents infiltrated an undercover warehouse in southern Tehran and removed 100,000 documents detailing Iran’s development of nuclear weapons, warheads and production plans 1999–2015.
Former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen later suggested in a Channel 12 TV interview on 10 June that a year earlier the agency was behind two large explosions at Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility, caused by explosives hidden inside marble platforms beneath the centrifuges equipment installed by unsuspecting Iranian engineers.
