First look: "60 Minutes" reveals Mossad's pager secrets

• The pager attack — and a similar remote detonation of walkie-talkies the next day — was part of a dramatic escalation between Hezbollah and Israel that drove thousands of civilians from their homes on both sides of the conflict.
• Israel ultimately killed Hezbollah's top leaders and reached a ceasefire with the Iran-backed group that remains fragile.

Zoom in: "60 Minutes" agreed the agents could wear masks and alter their voices to keep them anonymous for the report, which airs at 7:30 p.m. ET or after football on CBS and Paramount+.

• The agents told Stahl they tested the devices "multiple times in order to make sure there is minimum damage."
• "If we push the button the only one that will get injured is the terrorist himself. Even if his wife or his daughter will be just next to him, he's the only one that going to be harmed."

Reality check: Lebanese health authorities said at least two children were among the 37 people killed in the attack. More than 3,400 were injured.
