Israel Pushed Up Lebanon Pager Attack amid Hizbullah Suspicions
(Axios) Barak Ravid - Israel decided to blow up the pager devices carried by Hizbullah members in Lebanon and Syria on Tuesday out of concern its secret operation might have been discovered, three U.S. officials said. "It was a use it or lose it moment," one U.S. official said. Al-Monitor reported that two Hizbullah operatives had raised suspicions about the pagers in recent days. On Tuesday, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant called U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and told him Israel was about to conduct an operation in Lebanon soon, but did not give specific details.
