The Turkish intelligence has seized 1,300 booby-trapped pagers intended for Lebanon, identical to those used in the attack in the country in September, Turkiye’s Sabah newspaper reported.
According to the report, a few days after the Mossad bombing of pagers in Lebanon, another 1,300 pagers were seized in Istanbul airport en route to Lebanon.
According to the report, the Turkish Intelligence Organisation (MIT) received information about the pager shipment and began inspecting airports and ports, discovering that the shipment was planned for 27 September.
The head of Israel’s Mossad, David Barnea, had previously revealed that the first 500 pager radios had been brought into Lebanon weeks before 7 October 2023.
This was news to me. Another point of evidence that this entire genocide was pre planned and contingent on the success of the 7.10.2023 attack which the military knew about weeks in advance.
Possible, but I wouldn’t really see this as evidence of that in particular. Israel has been conducting subversive actions against Hamas and the Houthis for a long time and something like that pager attack was likely being planned far ahead.
Yeah but the pagers were sent to Lebanon an independent state. Hamas operates in Gaza and the Houthis in Yemen. Israel knew something ahead of time. This has broader implications and is evidence that they were preparing for an attack.
I’m happy that Israel has been thwarted in this.
Who the hell downvoted this. Show yourself.
1300 or 13,000? The title has an extra 0 and the comma is weird.
The article body repeatedly says 1,300
That definitely looks like a headline typo. I have corrected it in the post.
You’ve never heard of one-thousand-three-thousand? Pssh.
