Ex-Mossad agents boast about pager terror attack in Lebanon: 'We created a pretend world'

Former Mossad agents revealed new details of Israel's pager and walkie-talkie terror attacks carried out against members of Hezbollah in interviews with the CBS News program 60 Minutes on 22 December.

According to a former Israeli intelligence agent known as Michael, Hezbollah bought more than 16,000 of the exploding devices.

When Mossad chief David Barnea gave the green light for the attack in September, the pagers and walkie-talkies were detonated on subsequent days.

Some 42 people were killed, including two children, while about 4,000 were injured. Many lost their hands and eyes or had their stomachs ripped open by the explosions.

Michael said the walkie-talkie batteries, which included explosive devices, were made in Israel at a Mossad facility.
