One of the sources said that a large number of wireless communication devices were stored in Hezbollah warehouses, as they were intended for use only during the war with Israel.
This development comes in light of the state of maximum alert in the ranks of the Israeli army, and the readiness to escalate confrontations with Hezbollah, following the operation to blow up communication devices belonging to Hezbollah elements.
As part of this step, the 98th Division will move from the responsibility of the Southern Command of the Israeli army to the Northern Command, which, according to the Israeli Army Radio, is witnessing the highest levels of readiness and alert.

The massacre of "Pagers" caused panic and terror among citizens in various Lebanese regions, and a state of shock and confusion among Hezbollah, after thousands of devices suddenly exploded in the hands of Hezbollah members.
For this reason, Hezbollah will undertake these investigations itself and they will be confidential, in order to avoid revealing any information related to the methods of receiving weapons from abroad and so on.
Informed sources indicate that this shipment was received by Iran and transferred to Beirut.
The sources add that the number of devices received by Hezbollah is 5,000 devices, and this shipment arrived between February and March 2024, and was distributed to Hezbollah members in Lebanon and Syria, and they began using this device last July.
Thus, after Hezbollah stopped using mobile phones, it resorted to its internal system and after hacking the latter, it used Pagers devices.

In the midst of collective "trauma", there is no longer room for political discussion, let alone disagreement, questioning and criticism? Yesterday, September 17 was added to the many "trauma" dates in the bloody Lebanese calendar.
It is one of Hezbollah’s practices resulting from its "superiority" and its power to impose on the Lebanese what it deems appropriate, ignoring the interests of Lebanon and all the Lebanese.
For months, the party has been treasonous and threatening those who criticize this war, and question its usefulness, prospects, and balance of power in it, while its audience analyzes "the blood of traitors and Zionists within."
A former MP and Hezbollah official did not hesitate to threaten, last week, to assassinate any president of the republic elected without the party’s approval.
However, in a move that is not obvious, Lebanon "embraced" the party’s members who carry pagers, within the acceptable human limit, and the innocents who fell alongside them.

The head of the Israeli Atomic Energy Agency, Moshe Edri, accused the Syrian regime of building a facility to produce radioactive plutonium in Deir Ezzor, with the support of Iran.

He accused the Syrian regime of not fulfilling its international obligations regarding nuclear safeguards for more than a decade, while he did not clarify whether the project was new in Deir Ezzor, or the same one that Israel bombed in 2007.

Following the visit, Grossi revealed that his meeting with the head of the Syrian regime, Bashar al-Assad, achieved tangible steps regarding the resumption of investigations into the Al-Kibar nuclear reactor in Deir Ezzor.

In 2018, the Israeli army claimed responsibility for an airstrike targeting a facility in eastern Syria, suspected of containing a nuclear reactor that the Syrian regime was secretly developing in cooperation with North Korea.

Israel said that the reactor was under construction with the help of North Korea, and was only months away from being operational.

A year after the start of the war that deepened the internal division against Hezbollah, the Lebanese found themselves united on a human level in the face of the scale of the Israeli crime, which was reflected in the positions witnessed on social media.

We see nothing but a world being disfigured and its fingers flying off.

For the first time since the start of the war on October 7, the "quality" of the attack was the event, rather than the importance of the targeted party figures.

This means that the Lebanese state did not prevent the Lebanese from the tragedy of the ammonium nitrate explosion in the port, nor did its diplomacy succeed in removing the specter of a comprehensive war from Lebanon.

This was evident in the call by the party’s most prominent opponents, political activists, for a humanitarian response to the disaster on the basis of "postponing" scoring points against Hezbollah, because now is the time to "donate blood."

It was satisfied with the correspondents’ messages, only when they had official information, especially official statements from the Ministry of Health, and hospital appeals.

It seemed striking that “LBC” called the victims “martyrs,” while before that it had relied on phrases such as “Hezbollah casualties due to Israeli bombing or attack.” Although the suburb was the main scene of the attack, the media event was not there.

Beirut’s hospitals were the center of attraction, which gave the media an opportunity to move more comfortably, relieved of the security restrictions imposed by the party on the ground in such cases.
The Prime Minister and senior politicians offered their condolences, so it was natural for the cameras to follow them. Thus, the Lebanese channels focused on the live broadcast from the mourning tent of the son of MP Ali Ammar, who was martyred in the aggression, especially with the visit of Prime Minister Najib Mikati to offer his condolences.

This information raises questions about the relationship between the suggestion of stormy disagreements within the Israeli cabinet, the claim of changing Galant, and the incident of the explosion of Hezbollah’s communications devices.

The correspondent said that the data indicates that the explosion of communications devices began first in the southern suburb of Beirut, then simultaneous explosions followed to include the devices of Hezbollah members and leaders present in other Lebanese regions, all the way to Syria.

He added that the incident came after official and unofficial Israeli voices rose in recent days, calling for a change in the scene on the northern front.

The Makan field correspondent pointed to a signal accompanied by a strange sound emanating from Hezbollah’s wireless devices, along with a rapid rise in their temperature, which led to a sudden explosion in the targeted communications devices.

Hezbollah and Hamas, along with Ansar Allah and Iran behind them, realize that a direct regional confrontation would not be in their interest.

The balance of power is clearly tilted in favor of the United States, and therefore the axis of resistance is relying on a “strategy of attrition” instead of seeking a decisive confrontation. The axis of resistance does not seek a major confrontation but rather a prolongation of the conflict, which will weaken Israel politically and militarily.

In the end, North Vietnam succeeded in expelling American forces despite the large gap in military capabilities. The same idea is repeated here; Israel realizes that a war of attrition is not in its interest.

This support, along with long-term attrition, ultimately led to the Soviet Union’s withdrawal from Afghanistan despite its enormous power. But, as we know, wars of attrition are not without a price.

The losses in the ranks of the axis of resistance will be great, both in terms of martyrs and the destruction of infrastructure, as we have witnessed in all wars that relied on this strategy.

American hegemony in the Middle East is based on three pillars: an absolute commitment to support Israel in all circumstances and situations, an alliance with the Gulf oil industry, and chronic hostility to Iran.

Despite the huge investment in resources, recruitment, and propaganda, the issue of terrorism and jihadism has not risen to the level of becoming a fixed fourth pillar of American hegemony in the Middle East.
While the issue of terrorism and jihadism has completely disappeared, as expected. This “absence” does not mean any strategic change in the American approach to the Middle East and the Gulf region after the upcoming elections, whoever wins. On the contrary, continuity will be the main driver.
President Biden tried to build on the “Abraham Accords” that he inherited from his predecessor Trump by dragging Saudi Arabia into it, but he failed for reasons stronger than himself. Harris will continue to try with all her might, despite the fact that Trump is the author of the aforementioned agreements.
The intelligence assistance continues, making the United States a major partner in the war of extermination on Gaza.
