similtaneously, the operatives received a beep, thinking it was a standard command from their headquarters but it blew up in their hands, in pockets, or in their faces, even in a grocery bag, and the social media shows the remains of a pager model used in the attack. graphic images circulating show fingers blown off, bloody faces, damaged eyes and limbs, more than 2800 wounded, at least a dozen killed ... while israeli officials are not commenting, sources tell abc news that israel was behind the attack, with one u.s. intelligence source saying that israel had been trying to perfect what they called a supply-chain-interwith-diction attack. that means, somehow getting hands on the pagers, implanting explosives and detinators before being delivered to hezbollah. here in israel there's an

expectation that hezbollah will respond with military counterattacks it could take time, given the damage to the organization. george? >> george: thank you, martha and now to the former president's new crypto currency business, an unprecedented business by with a candidate running for president, and now what do we know about what this business actually is? >> reporter: we don't know a lot of details but former president trump was once an outspoken crypto currency critic now he's spearheading a crypto currency of his own, this is called "world liberty financial", and the website prominently features photos of trump, kind of like bitcoin, the value of the currency is pegged to the u.s. dollar, and eric and don jr. say this is a way for americans to buy or

sell, and go around the big banks and financial elites, but as founders, the trump family could make money at the price of the digital currency they are hoping to launch, goes up, this is an ethics landmine, if trump wins the election, he's blasting the securities and exchange commission for regulating the crypto space. more on that from john carl. >> george: john, in this announcement he was saying the sec has been much too hard on crypto currency. if he's president he would have influence? >> reporter: he changed his views on this, perhaps as a result of this venture, but george, this is the beginning, i mean, one of many efforts that trump has launched, business-ventures, since he launched his campaign for president back in november 2022. consider some of the other stuff he's been doing: he's sold digital trading cards. he's sold real cards that he claims have pieces of the suit that he wore when he got his mug shot, after being indicted

in georgia. he's sold bibles, trump bibles with the inscription by lee greenwood, and selling real cards that contain pieces of the suit when he debated joe biden, 399 gold sneakers and truth social, this is his social media company that he took public 6 months ago, that's the biggest by far of all of them, worth on paper some 2 billion dollars and he can begin selling those shares as soon as tomorrow. so, george, two very important things about thisusually goes to support the campaign, all of this stuff is going directly to trump, and the second thing, the ethical issues, raising a plethora of ways that people can buy influence with a presidential candidate and future president. >> robin: to a gma health alert, a new study finds 3-d mammograms may be more effective at finding cancer, eva pilgrim has the details.
