I’ve got $1 that says that this was a supply chain attack. LiPo batteries tend to fart fire when they overheat, not explode, and not wth enough force to blow holes in people.
I’m mostly surprised that pagers still exist.
Pagers are very common in hospital settings, they are reliable as all hell, cheap, and don’t produce EMI.
This is an insane level of James Bond fuckery. I wonder how long that plan has been in the works
quite aside from the question of how you hack thousands of pagers to make them explode, what are we carrying around in our daily lives that are one internet command away from blowing up?
You don’t. If you’ve seen the videos this are clearly high explosives. These devices were interdicted by Mossad long ago and triggered remotely.
imagine the resources needed to pull something like this
This is why you don’t order pagers off Wish.
LOL Ex-Hezbollah member changes his ways and sells his pager on E-Bay
Someone finds a cheap pager from Iran on E-Bay and decides they want it…haha
(I know you said Wish, but I like this story too, lol)
What’s incredible to me is that this is basically guaranteed to only hit Hezbollah’s command structure. 3000 hospitalized, and so far the only collateral damage is a handful of close relatives who were in cars that created as a result. That’s biblical plague levels of precision strike capabilities.
For Hezbollah, this is putting over half their command staff out of the picture for a week. That’s an incredible blow that will be hard for them to come back from. If Lebanon is smart, they’ll use the opportunity to forcefully disarm Hezbollah.
