G., a recruitment and agent handler officer in the Mossad, spoke at the Israel Security Prize ceremony at President Herzog's residence, referring to the "pager operation" and said that "this operation was born when an ambitious technological idea, which can only be described as a fantasy, met with the best technology experts." He added: "However, breakthrough technology alone is not enough. Precise intelligence and bold operational capabilities are required, sometimes risking lives in the heart of an enemy state." According to him, "in the operation to eliminate Nasrallah, Mossad agents operated with courage and determination under fire in the heart of Beirut to provide the precise intelligence for the operation."
