This week on the Sumud Podcast, we’re joined by journalist and BreakThrough News host Rania Khalek for a special episode diving into her latest documentary, Israeli Terror in Lebanon: Inside the Pager Attacks. The documentary uncovers the untold story behind the September 17th pager explosions in Lebanon—a years-long covert Israeli operation that left civilians maimed and silenced.
From the hidden manufacturing sabotage to the horrific injuries, Rania takes us through the political, human, and media dimensions of the attack and why Western coverage gave airtime to Mossad agents while denying a platform to the victims, including children.
As a Lebanese journalist, Rania offers a deeply personal perspective on the resilience of communities under siege and the friendships and humor that survive even in the aftermath of violence.
🔑 In this conversation, we explore:
➡ How the pager attacks were planned and executed
➡ The human cost: stories of survivors like Ali and Hussein
➡ Anti-Shia sentiment and blocked access to Iranian medical aid
➡ The role of Western media in shaping narratives
➡ The resilience and resistance of Lebanon’s most targeted communities
