Though the Israeli government has not claimed responsibility, the feat is apparently the result of a months’ long Israel Defense Forces and Mossad operation. Earlier this year, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah ordered all Hezbollah members to destroy their cell phones out of fear that Israeli intelligence forces could track and monitor the phones. Nasrallah ordered his jihadi soldiers to switch to pagers, a technology rarely used since the early 1990s.

But Nasrallah’s switch backfired — literally. Israeli intelligence infiltrated Hezbollah’s supply chain, intercepted the pagers, and programmed them to explode remotely on IDF command.

Tuesday morning, as Hezbollah soldiers were attending a fallen terrorist’s funeral, the jihad pagers went off, injuring more than 2,700 Hezbollah terrorists at the funeral, and across Lebanon and Syria all at once —without harming a single civilian.

Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amini, was injured and rushed to the hospital after his Hezbollah beeper exploded. In Iran, the ayatollah’s son is rumored to have been blinded when his Hezbollah beeper went off.

The surprise attack is just one of the many ways Israel is working to protect its own people while also exposing and destroying the vast tentacles of Iranian terror operatives throughout the Middle East. The move comes after nearly a year straight of Hezbollah raining hundreds of bombs a day on civilians in northern Israel.

Within just hours, Jew-haters around the world rushed to blame Israel.  Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, the United Nations’ special coordinator for Lebanon, issued a statement declaring she “deplores” the Israeli attack, claiming it "marked an extremely concerning escalation."

The reality is that Iran has been escalating its proxy war against Israel ever since Joe Biden and Kamala Harris assumed office. In addition to the horrific massacre Hamas committed on October 7, 2023, Hezbollah has been bombing Israel every single day — for 348 days straight.

Yet, insanely, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris continue to support and celebrate Israel’s enemies. Please, fax Congress now and demand they defend our ally, Israel.

As you do, please also consider making a special gift to help CIDI defend Israel as it faces Iran-backed Hezbollah, a genocidal foe determined to eliminate the Jewish state.

Finally, I ask you to pray for the people of Israel, their leaders, and especially the more than 100 hostages still held in Hamas’ Gaza bunkers.
