Former Israeli intelligence agent "Pippi bomb ready for 10 years...Even making fake YouTube ads."

Testimony has emerged that Israel has been preparing for the radio call bomb operation that damaged more than 3,000 people, including Lebanese militant Hezbollah agents, since September.

Two former high-ranking Israeli intelligence agents made the remarks on CBS on the 22nd local time.

They said Hezbollah made a fake YouTube ad in 2022 to replace the wireless call with a larger product containing a bomb, promoting that the call has water and dust resistance as well as longer battery life.

He also explained that the radio with explosives, which had already been supplied to Hezbollah 10 years ago, was activated the day after the radio call bomb was detonated.

According to them, Mossad has conducted several experiments with mannequins to identify the right amount of explosives that only harm Hezbollah agents using wireless callers and do not harm their surroundings.

It has also been tested several times to create a ringtone that sounds urgent enough for anyone to take the pager out of their pocket.

But Hezbollah never noticed that they had made the radio and the radio they were buying in Israel, the enemy they were fighting for.

An agent explained that Mossad created a virtual reality like the movie 'The Truman Show' against Hezbollah.

From salespeople to marketing, engineers to exhibition halls, everything was 100% Israeli work, and Israel controlled everything behind the scenes, but from Hezbollah's point of view, everything was so natural.

So by September, 5,000 Hezbollah militants were carrying Mossad-made radio-caller bombs in their pockets.

Israel pressed the radio caller bomb on September 17, and the bomb exploded even if the recipient did not press the message confirmation button.

The following day, radio bombs were activated and some exploded at the funeral homes of those killed by radio call bombs.

One agent said the goal of the operation was to send a message rather than actually killing Hezbollah members.

"It will be a vivid proof that those who lose their eyes and hands in Lebanon shout, 'Don't mingle with us.' They are living proof of Israel's superiority in the Middle East."

Another agent said Lebanese people felt such a grave fear that they couldn't even turn on air conditioning after the explosion.

Asked if it was intentional, the agent replied:

"I want them to feel vulnerable. It's actually vulnerable. I used the wireless phone once, so I can't rewrite it anymore. We've already moved on to the next one. And they'll have to keep thinking about what the next thing is."
