@discuss.tchncs.dei've seen other source stating that it was something between 30 and 60g
give it a few days, nobody knows what is going on and only thing you can get are rumors. some people still think it was lithium battery
these pagers were issued by hezbollah higher-ups, for one-way communication with their hq. there's little reason for them to sell them or even lend to family because you can't call from this thing or communicate with it any other way because it's receive only. civilian casualties are probably low for this reason
secretive agency does secretive agency shit
tal: how can i make this to be about mee?
don't put plastic explosives in electronics of your choice that'd be pretty safe i guess
Israeli secret services used exploding phone previously, it's not a stretch to assume that they tapped into supply chain of pagers and brought a pallet of pagers with a low tens of grams sized bomb inside
also lithium batteries don't explode like that
that would be the simplest explanation, and they did that covertly, perhaps somewhere further up supply chain, yes
This already happened with phones, but that was a targeted killing:
At 08:00 on 5 January 1996, Ayyash's father called him and Ayyash answered. Overhead, an Israeli plane picked up their conversation and relayed it to an Israeli command post. When it was confirmed that it was Ayyash on the phone, Shin Bet remotely detonated it, killing him instantly.[3]
