Israel Unit 8200

The attack targeted Hezbollah operatives by planting explosive devices inside hand-held pagers and walkie-talkies. 

The mass pager attack against Hezbollah in Lebanon has turned the spotlight on Israel's secretive Unit 8200, the Israel Defense Forces' intelligence unit, which a Western security source said was involved in planning the operation.

The Israeli army said on Thursday that the head of an elite intelligence unit will resign over the failure to prevent Hamas's October 7 attack.

Scores of veterans of elite Israeli intelligence unit 8200 rallied to its defence Sunday after 43 comrades said they would no longer take part in its "injustices" against millions of Palestinians.
