The device explosions in Lebanon last week were part of Israel's "red button" plan, designed to be activated at a critical moment for maximum impact against an adversary, current and former Israeli officials with knowledge of the pager operation told the Washington Post.
The double round of device explosions that took place last week throughout Lebanon caused a high number of Hezbollah casualties throughout the country.
According to the report, the plot was primarily part of Israel's long-term strategy to develop its "red button capability" to be prepared for critical moments.
"A ‘red button’ is a concept for something you can use when you want or need it," a former Israeli official with knowledge of the pager operation explained in the report.
However, the reasoning behind the timing of the device attack has not been fully understood.

Wonder what/when they hit the mullahs with. They know it’s coming somehow.
Clever on stilts
This was an incredibly clever operation, including keeping US in the dark.
I have to figure that Hezbollah didn’t issue the pagers to privates, but to NCOs and officers.
It never would have worked had the US known about it
The treasonous mental midget in the white house would've announced it to the world if they hadn't kept The US in the dark. Just ask Seal Team Six how he does with sensitive information.
There is a photo floating around the web showing the late Iranian president with a pager identical to the ones used in the attack. Perhaps his was detonated when he was on board the helicopter.

Interesting.
Except for the one idiot “Criticizing Israel’s operation, a former US intelligence official”. He needs to shut up and go away.
It would’ve been leaked. They’ve learned from the past.
Riddle me this batman:
How did the IDF get explosives in the pagers?
Back in the day when i had to carry a pager, one was issued and purchased by management. You then carried that same device until it became obsolete or was lost. Loading up multiple pagers with explosives for some future detonation? James Bond stuff for sure.
Hey look Achmed, they have a BOGO on pagers down at the Quikee Mart! Run down and pick up a dozen!
Thats how they did it! Offered a bargain price on multiple units with free shipping from Jerusalem!
This was more than clever.
This was cle cle!
Operation Grim Beeper (not mine, heard in radio show) but loved it.
IDF or Mossad?
It was ESSENTIAL that US officials be kept in the dark or else those little explosions would have gone off in baby cribs, carriages on playgrounds and in schools.
Now THIS is what happens when your beeber gets stuned !!!
“ How did the IDF get explosives in the pagers?”
They manufactured them. That’s how.

This is their greatest surprise since Stuxnet.
Ssh. What if that is really the plan?
