in response to the pager explosion, hezbollah issued a statement on the 17th, arguing that israel was "fully responsible" and vowed to take retaliatory actions. however, as of that evening, israel had not yet made an official response to the incident.

how might the explosion have been triggered? what impact might it have? let's take a look at the observation report sent back by cctv reporters from jerusalem.

cctv reporter zhao bing:regarding the method of the attack, the israeli public broadcasting corporation and channel 12 and other media, citing the analysis of relevant professionals, believe that the explosion may have been caused in two ways:

• one is to launch a large-scale cyber attack on thousands of pagers at the same time through hacking methods, causing their lithium batteries to short-circuit or overload, thereby causing an explosion.
• another method is to place explosives in the pager in advance.

cctv reporter zhao bing: qatar's al jazeera quoted a source from the lebanese security department as saying,the batch of pagers that exploded this time was intercepted by the israeli intelligence and secret service (mossad) before being delivered to hezbollah in lebanon five months ago, and a trace amount of explosives weighing less than 20 grams was placed inside the pagers.however, as of now, the above news is difficult to be fully confirmed.

cctvcgtn reporter zhao bing:it is worth noting that the attack took place at a sensitive time when israel had issued a comprehensive threat to hezbollah and the israeli-lebanese conflict was likely to escalate significantly. late at night on the 16th, israeli prime minister netanyahu chaired a government security cabinet meeting and decided to make "returning the people evacuated from northern israel to their homes" the fourth military goal of the israeli government. this also means that israel has officially incorporated the military strike against hezbollah in lebanon into its military strategy that has lasted for nearly a year, and will take the initiative to escalate the conflict.

israeli media: do not rule out preemptive action against lebanon

cctvcgtn reporter zhao bing:israeli media analysis believes that in this case, if israel launched the attack, its purpose may be:

• first, send a clear signal to hezbollah that israel will strike it by any means possible and will continue to escalate pressure;
• second, to prevent and disrupt possible attacks by hezbollah on israel;
• third, take advantage of the chaos and even partial paralysis of hezbollah in lebanon to launch a large-scale military operation against it.

cctvcgtn reporter zhao bing:however, the media also believes that large-scale military operations will not restore security in northern israel, but will further intensify the conflict and plunge the entire region into a quagmire of long-term war. local media revealed that in order to deal with possible attacks by hezbollah, israel's haifa port, ben gurion international airport and other important infrastructure are ready to launch emergency plans. many large airlines such as air france and lufthansa have announced that they will cancel all flights scheduled to fly to israel on the 19th.
