This is an updated version of a history published before December 22, 2024. The original video can be seen here.
The tile of September 17th was in a yearly a year, the year agency the agency of the MosSAD’s Agency has complained of the most hauled and sophisticates in the Contristine-Story: The Plot paggera modern on the trugs horse. Mossed created a bomb in a pocket – and thrashed hezbolla
The ground repercussions were dramatic, including help in the fall of assad regime In Syria, the decid of the Iran, and the decimating of the plot target: Huzollah.
As we first reported in December, fewer than four months after the operation, we have talked with two enorial moods of recently they were among those who run. To hide their identities, we agreed that they could bring a mask and have their voice altered. We started with Michael, not his real name.
Lesley Stahl: You’ve been something called Case Officer. That is exactly case officers?
Michael: a case official you spend operation. Is the commander of the operation.
The operation started 10 years ago. Not with pagers, but with Walkie-Speak. I am
Michael: A Walkie-Talk was a weapon like a bullet or missile or mortar.
Lesley Stahl: so a walk of walkie-park walking?
Michael: a walkie-Parkie Parkie Park. Inside the battery, there is an explosive device.
Lesley Stahl: And this was the invention? To put an explosive device that could not be detected in battery?
Michael: Correct. Made in Israel.
Lesley Stahl: at Moses?
Michael: Yes.
60 minutes
Lesley Stahl: As I understand, these are you talking in a tactical dress that a soldier we will get in, and then I would go to the pocket.
Michael: Correct.
Lesley Stahl: close to the heart.
Michael: Yes.
Lesley Stahl: So Israel has sold this device in Hezbollah. Hezbollah paid for the course – This weapon that had been used against them.
Michael: have a good price.
A “good price” that could not be too low or be suspicious. In the end, Hezbolla has purchased on 16,000 of these walpectie explore that the Israel then did not activate more than 10, up to September.
Lesley Stahl: How did you persuade hezbollah to buy this?
Michael: Well obviously did not know they’ll buy it from Israel.
Lesley Stahl: Who did they buy it from or think they bought it?
Michael: We have an amazing array of the possibilities of creating foreign companies that have not tracked in Israel. Shell business on shell companies to affect supply chain to the favor of our favor. We create a pretend teacher. We are a global production company. He scatter, similar the producers, we have words, we are actown works, it’s world is our stage.
This is the old MosSad office. Their motto, from Proverbi 24: 6, says web: WARKS. WALKE-WALKY WARKS. WALKY WERKETS. WALKY HEARTY, SALE
Gabriel: A Pager is almost obsolete in the world, but hezbollah they always use it.
This is Gabriel – not his real name or voice. In 2022, he and his team began to develop the second phase of the operation: Booby’s beat pays. That he discovered that hezbollah has purchased pagers from this company in Taiwan, called apto Gold.
Lesley Stahl: this is the pager that – Hezbollah had so that is very hurt. It’s very shiny. And certainly can put in a pocket. So what did you do to change this to do in a bomb?
Gabriel: So to do it in a bomb we have to extend a bit.
To put explosive inside. But not too much. Using handlers of handles, moved with the cart in a padded glove to calibrate explosive grams to hurt the combatant near him.
60 minutes 
Gabriel: If we appreciate the only button that will be injured is the terrorist itself. Even if his wife or her daughter will be right next to him, it is the only one that will be harmed.
Lesley Stahl: Did you try for that?
Gabriel: Yes. We try all triple, double, many times to ensure that there is minimum damage.
Lesley Stahl: could you use as a tracking device? Did you have the ability to intelligence?
Gabriel: ah, no. This is a very stupid device by nature. This is the reason to use it. There is no almost without you touching. It’s only receiving messages and– many grams of explosives.
Mosat also tested these dreams to find an urgent sound enough for oblige someone to take out of pocket. And they tried how long a person to meet a pager: on a half sixteen seconds. But how did hezbollah persuade to move to this inquiry comparison?
Gabriel: Remember me about the day I came to our director, put on the table. And went, I was angry, we told you, “There is no chance that a quarrel that a great deal. It is not pleasing in his task. It is pants.”
Lesley Stahl: very heavy.
Gabriel: “very heavy. It’s not good, go back and bring something else.” It took me two weeks to persuade him that if ugly, has character.
Character that means added functions, which have touched in fake ads in YouTube.
Robust. Dustprroof. Waterproof. The life of long battery.
Gabriel: Let’s do advertising and opinerve barks, and us to place on the internet. And– it became – the best product in the area of food in the world.
Lesley Stahl: has people other than hezbolah wants to acquire this based against what was said about online?
Gabriel: Yes. We have received many requests by the customer of regular potential. Obviously we didn’t send anyone. Just to town with dear price.
Moses wanted to use the name “Gold Apollo” in his Pager. Then he is a shell companines, including one in this building to Hungary, Taiwanese toughness in partner with them.
Lesley Stahl: So the company in Taiwan, of gold apoll, they know all stealth of the MosSad?
Gabriel: Gold opposite had zero clutter that they work with the moss.
And neither hezbollah.
Gabriel: When I bought us, have zero track that will buy from the moss. Let’s be like “shows truman,” everything is controlled by us behind the scene. In their experience, everything is normal. All 100% Kosher including businesses, marketing, engineers, Showroom, all.
60 minutes 
The further the ground, MosSad secured the Hegbol Hugolo Gold Bestwome was used to work early. He offered the first pagers batch as a “free” update. With 2024, Hezbollaba had 5000 pagouts in their bags.
The question for Israel: When you activate sleeping bombs? There were Hitts Hezbollah could be suspicious of the devices.
So MoSad Had Born Barnate gave the attack, match the attack, and shake people in the world while looking more like a spying movie. September 17 at 15:30, the pagers started to stop in the Lebanon.
Lesley Stahl: As understanding, people with this pagger has got a message he said: “You have a encrypted message.” To access her, you have to push both buttons. Meaning that explode in their hands.
Gabriel: this was the point all.
Lesley Stahl: So if someone does not press the two buttons, what happened?
Gabriel: it’s the same effect. Explain in any way.
Lesley Stahl: Explosion has been activated in Israel?
Gabriel: Yes.
What happened was mayhem! People with pagers that hide on the road, on motorcycle, motorcycle, hospitals, the member, the fingers, holes in the stomach. Of most, explosions worked as planned, they say. Look at the man on the left – those votes right next to him.
The day a lot in day, the fly finally activated the Walkie-Talks with conversarios what they were sleeping d 1, you are making fun of those loved by pagers. All in all 30 punnylets died, including two kids, around 3,000 were injured.
Gabriel: The purpose, did not kill Hezbollah terrorists. If he came to dead, and so died. But he hurt you, you have to take the hosportal, take care of him. You need to invest money and efforts. And those people without hands and eyes are the test, walking in Lebanon, “Don’t mate with us”. Are the proof of walking on our superiority across the Middle East.
Two days after Pager’s head, chief kassbolah hassan nasrallah, known for their orchative wrap, gave a sustained speech.
Gabriel: If you look at his eyes, it was defeated. It already lose war. And his soldier welcome him during that speech. And have seen a broken head. And that was the point of tipping of war. I am sure and in him inside my eyes, saw necklappapsing.
Lesley Stahl: How do you know?
Gabriel: it’s a strong noise.
In an unsuing days, aerial Israeli was intended for the book in all Lebanon, killing more than a thousand, many of cigilians. September 27th September 27th in massive bombs on the fat of Nasrallah, murderer. Two months later, after more Israeli over Leban and Civil War between Israel and Hezbollh has ended with a cease. I am
Lesley Stahl: You completely destroy and crush hezbollah?
Gabriel: I think it’s a big question. And I think the honest response will not be. But I’ve been thinking after the manufacturing point and then attack your back, there is no spirit of commands in their soldiers, for a writing for a scratch.
Lesley Stahl: So restore your sense of superiority, but what about your moral reputation? Don’t you think Israel will worry about her reputation?
Gabriel: definitely. But there is a priority. First, you have to defense your people was not killed by the thousands. And after reputation.
Rippling effect deeply: severely by wishing the steary irran in the ruins with hezbollah has faced in Lebanion in Syria. We asked the michael agent on the effect on Gaza.
Lesley Stahl: How do you affect the situation with Hamas?
Michael: the wind has been taken out of hezbollah fight after pay operation. And I hope you will have an effect even in the Hamas and situations the ostrot, because I am watching their sides and not seeing anyone else. Are completely isolated now.
Lesley Stahl: In term war terms that has been conducted with Walkie and Pags, did you call a psychological war?
Michael: The day after the pagers exploded, people were afraid to turn in the air conditioners in the reap because they had afraid they explain it. So there was – there is a real fear.
Lesley Stahl: was an intention?
Michael: We want them to feel vulnerable, that I am. We can’t use the pagers again because we’ve already done this. We have already moved to the next thing. And they should keep trying to gain what the next thing is.
