Episode description

It reads like something out of a spy thriller: thousands of pagers belonging to Hezbollah fighters exploded on Tuesday, killing at least 12 and wounding nearly 3,000 people. 


We bring you the remarkable story behind the attacks, believed to be caused by explosives planted in the devices by Israeli agents.


The Telegraph's senior foreign correspondent Roland Oliphant tells us whether the plot against Iran-backed Hezbollah could trigger an an all-out regional war. Plus, our man in Israel, Jotam Confino, reports on how local media is reacting to the audacious plot.
