Security breach from pager blasts is a ‘multi-layered problem’ for Hezbollah: Defence researcher

Hamze Attar, a defence researcher, says the security breach that resulted in a series of violent pager blasts is a “multi-layered problem” for the Lebanese group Hezbollah. “It’s a problem mainly with communication,” Attar told Al Jazeera. He said there are three possibilities how the sabotage was executed: • Israel managed to intercept the cargo of pagers and weaponize them. • It compromised one of the device’s components somewhere in the supply chain • Israel targeted the microprocessors and “overloaded” them, causing the battery to blow up Subscribe to our channel: http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera Check our website: http://www.aljazeera.com/ Check out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/ Download AJE Mobile App: https://aje.io/AJEMobile #Lebanon #Hezbollah #HezbollahPagerExplosion #PagerExplosionAttacks #Israel #IsraelHamasWar #GazaWar #IsraelWar #IsraelPalestineWar #IsraelGazaWar #Netanyahu #SouthernLebanon #NorthernIsrael #Hezbollah #LebanonIsraelBorderTension #Palestine #Gaza #BreakingNews #AlJazeeraEnglish
