One of Hezbollah's exploded pagers: Israel planned the attack well in advance.
DLNews World at War:
For 15 years, Israel had been secretly plotting a staggering blow to Hezbollah, and on Tuesday and Wednesday, their carefully crafted plan erupted with deadly precision. Waves of explosions from rigged pagers and walkie-talkies shocked Hezbollah terrorists, leading to 37 dead and nearly 3,000 injured. ABC News, citing U.S. intelligence sources, reveals that the Israeli secret service Mossad has been meticulously planning this audacious attack since 2009, just three years after the last major conflict in Lebanon.
A Deadly Blow to Hezbollah’s Heart
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah admitted on Thursday that his group had suffered a “serious blow,” a devastating acknowledgment from the typically defiant leader. Surveillance footage captured the shocking moment when pagers rigged with small amounts of PETN explosives were detonated, sending shockwaves through Hezbollah’s ranks.

The report states that Mossad’s covert operation involved the creation of numerous front companies over the years. Among them, the Budapest-based “BAC Consulting Kft.” played a central role, supplying the explosive-laden pagers that would catch Hezbollah off guard. The firm, layered with levels of Israeli intelligence officers and unwitting contacts, is at the center of this international intrigue.

The Budapest Mystery Company: A Front for Mossad?
One of the most bizarre twists in this spy thriller is BAC Consulting Kft., a mysterious company registered in Hungary. According to company records, it has existed only since 2022, officially dealing in consulting, publishing, sugar production, and IT services—hardly the résumé of a company involved in an international espionage plot.
The company’s enigmatic owner, Cristiana Barsony-Arcidiacono, is now under intense media scrutiny. Her CV reads like a work of fiction, with non-existent references to prestigious educational institutions like the London School of Economics. Websites that supposedly document her work are missing, further fueling speculation. “I don’t make pagers; I’m just the intermediary,” she told NBC News, brushing off allegations as a misunderstanding.
Agent or just a dubious businesswoman? Cristiana Barsony-Arcidiacono is suspected of having supplied the deadly pagers to Hezbollah.
Explosive Pagans with a Heavenly Code Name?
Adding to the intrigue, BAC’s website, now offline, showcased not pagers but a jewelry collection named “Nelkhael”—an angel from the mystical tradition of Judaism. Could this be a coded reference from Mossad? Nelkhael is known as the angel of responsibility, and some are already dubbing him Hezbollah’s “angel of death.”
The “Gold Apollo” pagers, which played a starring role in the explosions, were supposedly manufactured by BAC, not the Taiwanese company emblazoned on the devices. BAC’s role remains shrouded in mystery, with its founder’s protestations only adding more fuel to the fire.
Mossad’s 15-Year Gamble
Mossad’s decision to strike now was driven by a fear that Hezbollah would uncover the explosive pagers and render them useless, wasting years of planning and preparation. It was a bold move, executed with deadly accuracy, aiming to paralyze Hezbollah at the onset of a broader conflict.
As the dust settles, this covert operation stands as a stark reminder of the lengths Israel is willing to go to in its shadow war against Hezbollah—a 15-year plan that, until this week, remained buried in the vaults of intelligence. The hidden hands of Mossad are once again turning the gears of Middle Eastern conflict, leaving the world to wonder: what else might be lurking in plain sight?
