Supply chain, small amount of explosive placed in device

If you were Hezbollah this should motivate you to hit Israel even more

These devices exploded due to malware. This is digital warfare.

They are human. Imagine thousands of hand-held devices in use suddenly exploding, the panic, injuries, deaths. The entire force will be in virtual paralysis and a lot can happen meanwhile in theory.

Someone infiltrated Hezbollah and shared them rigged phones to be used for communication (maybe thinking it's secure). It's such a massive intel op if this is true.

May not even have to rig it - if you know the specifications of a device and certain parameters which can cause this to occur, you can trigger those.

You got to make it motivate you, when you deal with a enemy giving up is not a option

Otherwise Muslims would have given up multiple times against everyone from.crusaders to Mongols

The west has put the Zionists in amongst the middle east to create this chaos, so you have to keep pushing, keep the Jews out of northern Israel, out pressure, use international law and boycott

It's up to Iran and Hezbollah now to response and hit back

Motivate yourself and join Hezbollah. Why wait for others.

It is a bomb disguise as a pager, only high explosives can do this.

How many among them were real Hazbullah fighters are very difficult to say as Israel has build a reputation of killing civilians particularly the children.

I would assume maybe 1% are real Hezbullah maybe

Maybe they tagged to specific messages they knew are only sent to the Hezbolla. Once you know the content, easy to target the individual.

Back in the days Pakistani Generals received iPhone from the Americans
which they used for spying, Pakistan found out later and some Generals
were arrested.

Where did these Hezbollah fighters get these pagers from?

We all have our own way we can support the resistance wherever we are, what the enemy wants is you to give up and accept their dominance

Doesn't matter where you are you can help, and we in the west can help by putting pressure on companies and organizations and governments

 

[sutton9999]

But the people from tech industry can confirm it was inevitable.

When the Samsung phones (Note 4 or 5) started exploding, I predicted we are all carrying a walking bomb.

When the bigger batteries used for electric vehicles started exploding, they were killing people. This is next level indeed but easily predictable.

it is a bomb, nothing to do with battery. Not many people use pager.

 

[Circadian Rhythm]

So each pager had RDX stuffed inside its battery

I don’t think you understand the physics here.

For a battery to explode like that would require two things:

1. Battery to have the required energy capacity - those explosions were more than likely released a lot more energy than a pager battery could store.

2. If point 1. is satisfied then how are you remotely able to heat up the battery to such a high enough temperature to make it potentially explode?
Remember the circuitry is not built into the pager for you to allow this to happen remotely by for example mobile antenna signals.
Even it were possible the discomfort would have been so much that many Hezbollah fighters would have at least taken them out of their pockets and placed them away from their bodies.

Does it matter? Israleis have proved they can target anyone anywhere everywhere.

So many people claimed that Israel is a sham and cowardly.

well, from Iron dome intercepting most missiles to t=whatever this thing is, they have proved they're not a sham. Nor have they run away no matter how many countries have allied against them.

My admiration for the Israeli establishment is high.

 

[hussain0216]

You cannot make a battery like that explode with known technological methods.

Think about what it would take to make a battery explode - heat and or massive burst of current. How can this be supplied by hacking into a pager like that?

They just introduced compromised pagers Into Lebanon

Where is our dictator? He himself said if "I will flatten Haifa and Tel Aviv if Israel makes a wrong move", Why our scared little dictator is hiding?
