Drop Site is monitoring multiple reports about how the pagers used in the attacks in Lebanon today were detonated, and what precisely caused the explosions.

While nothing is confirmed, here’s some of what’s being reported: 🧵 @jeremyscahill reports: some experts in covert operations are suggesting the explosives may have been placed in the devices before delivery and potentially triggered by some sort of push or pulse or code to the pagers.

🧵THREAD: Hundreds of members of Hezbollah were seriously wounded when the pagers they use to communicate near-simultaneously exploded across Lebanon. Israeli media is celebrating the attack & it comes as Israel’s Security Cabinet was meeting to discuss a response to the foiling of what they claimed was a planned Hezbollah attack on a senior Shin-Bet (Israeli intelligence) official.

As @ZeinakhodrAljaz asks - was this an Israeli response to that planned Hezbollah attack, and could this also be the beginning of a larger Israeli attack on Lebanon, which both P.M. Netanyahu & Defense Minister Gallant seemed to indicate yesterday.

We’ll bring you updates on this story below: Here’s footage from the simultaneous explosions of pagers, occurring not just in Lebanon, but also in southern Lebanon’s Bekaa region and southern suburbs of Beirut.

Israel’s Operation ‘Summer Camps’: 50 Deaths In 15 Days

On August 28, Israel launched its largest military operation in the West Bank since 2002.

These operations have now claimed the lives of 50 Palestinians, displaced hundreds, and caused widespread damage to critical infrastructure.

This thread is a brief recap of the devastation Israel caused in the last 15 days: 🧵Image Although the focus of Israel's military operation has been in the northern governorates of Tulkarem, Tubas, and Jenin, the scope of the assault has included all areas of the West Bank.
