-Blinken: 15 out of 18 paragraphs in potential ceasefire-hostage deal have been agreed upon

- The American website "AlMonitor" claims that Israel blew up the pagers yesterday after two Hezbollah operatives suspected that something was wrong with the devices. According to the site, this was not the preferred choice for Israel, which planned to use the detonation of the pagers in preparation for an extensive ground operation in Lebanon. Still, as mentioned, Israel was forced to do so yesterday for fear that the "asset" would go down the drain.

- According to reports, as little as one to two ounces of the explosive material was implanted adjacent to the battery in each pager.
A joint Mossad and IDF intelligence operation led to planting small explosive materials in Hezbollah's pagers

- Defense Minister and former Chief of Staff Moshe Bogi Ya'alon was the target of the Hezbollah bomb that exploded in Yarakon Park a year ago.

- Members of the Biden administration exchanged indirect messages with Iran tonight to convince them that the US had no part in the attack in Lebanon. The administration estimates, for now, that Hezbollah is confused and frightened and is not expected to make an immediate military response

-Wall Street Journal: The message preceding the explosion consisted of numbers. 
The explosive was installed last year (meaning apparently before the war)
The one who opened the message went blind or lost fingers from the explosion; the one who didn't make it - injured his legs and chest

- Lebanese security source, on the explosion of the pagers: “The explosive was inserted into the device on top of the AC panel. The devices were initially fused, and the explosive was inserted integrally. This explosive was not detectable by any means of inspection, not even those found at airports. The lithium battery was not the cause of the explosion. It powered the device while receiving an advanced technology message that "awakened" the explosive. 
Devices turned off or found in an area without reception did not explode. 
Within 4 seconds of the beep sound of receiving the message, the device exploded whether the message was read or not.
