Fee Advice from an Attorney

How on earth did they make this happen? Interesting tactic.

^I was wondering just that. I know that batteries in cell phones occasionally explode due to overheating. I suppose you could write a program that when triggered ran the shit out of the CPU without showing anything on the UI. This would heat up the battery with no warning and boom.

You would have to get the software onto the device. This could be done over the air via apps or via firmware patching. If you had a modern device with an OS and apps, that's easier, and if you had to get a firmware update that's harder, and if you had a primitive old school pager the software would have to already be there when the device was purchased... that would be some serious james bond shit to achieve.

But it's doable. A little like the hack MOSAD did on the Iranian centrifuges (Stuxnet) a few years back.

Incredible, amazing use of technology, just like how they killed Ismail Haniyeh in the Iranian capital of Tehran with prepositioned sleeper bomb.

Wow that's really fucking smart

How much is the Fee?

I would love to know how it was done. We may never know, but that is scary. Blowing all their balls off. I saw that happen to a guy not 10 feet away from me when his vape pen exploded in his pocket. One of the injured or killed is the Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon, who just happened to be carrying a Hezbollah pager. That was not a question anyone needed answered, but it reminds us that Iran has still not responded for the assassination of the Hamas leader in Tehran.

here's some video, sadly, no sound

that blows

Apparently Hezbollah had just switched to a new pager system. My guess is they made a bad decision to purchase pagers from TheMossadPagerCo., Inc.

TheMossadPagerCo., Inc. LOL!

I remember this several years ago - my memory may not be 100% accurate - but…

Remember the couple in California that went on a rampage on an office where the guy worked? I think it was a municipal or local government office… anyway the FBI was trying to unlock their iPhones, and Apple refused to do it. I’m thinking wasn’t it an Israeli company that unlocked it for the FBI?

^Yes it was.

These pricks still use pagers? They get a text when a goat fucking video becomes available at Blockbuster?

Damn Chinese lithium batteries...😵

How are they going to satisfy all those promised virgins when they go to meet Alah

They switched to pagers instead of cell phones because the Israeli's were tracking their activities by hacking into the cell network. Apparently the Mosad can work with low tech also.

Wonderful stuff

It's happening again, today, with the two-way radios they have as an emergency back-up/alternative to their pagers. It's almost hilarious. How on Earth did they manage to do this?

Apparently 6 months ago, after a speech by Nasrallah, Hezbollah threw away their cellphones for safety's sake, after a few assassinations. After the products were built, they were shipped a month later. Israel somehow managed to intercept the shipment, disassemble the pagers, place a small explosive in each one, re-assemble them and ship them to Hezbollah. they then waited 5 months, sent a code to the battery to overheat, then rang the pagers so the Hezbollah dudes would pick them up, blowing off hands, fingers and faces.

Is it controversial to wonder who, other than dirtbags who are up to no good (like Hezbollah) uses pagers anymore anyway? They could put a dab of explosives in every one that comes off the line and none of us would be the worst for it

^They were using cell phones, but Israel was intercepting the signal and using it to locate them. They decided low tech was the solution.

Israel has always lived in a tough neighborhood, they’ve needed to be clever and tough, fortunately they are both, this was designed to force Hezbollah to back off, my guess is the ragheads get the message, make a few threats and back off quietly.

Apparently there's now been round 2 using walkie talkies and solar devices. Another 9 killed and hundreds injured!

I think it's great, but makes me wonder about the phone I'm holding right now, made in China I'm sure.

Israel indirectly field tests our weapons for us. Most of the time if Israel has it, we have it.

These were not weapons, per se. The intelligence reports are that they somehow inserted themselves into the supply chains and were able to get these explosive charges, detonators, and triggers installed into the pagers and radios that were being purchased by Hezbollah. That tech has been around for a long time, but the penetration of the supply chain from purchase to manufacture to delivery seems nearly impossible to have pulled off with precision. Even more so, how much collateral damage was done to innocent purchasers?

The newest reports indicate an elaborate series of frontmen and shell companies. Maybe it was a 1 in a 1,000,000 shot that worked for the IDF intelligence.

no doubt the jewish exploding phones resulted in collateral damage. but in this situation the innocent most likely share the same anti-american and anti-jew mindset as the intended targets. do you think they would shop at a place where there are jews present? is there segregation in those parts of the world?

i may not be a jew but i am an american. so if a certain group of sick fucks even poses some kind of remote threat to my well being then hey if it's cell phones, pagers, walky talkies, old ass refrigerators, vhs players, whatever, they have to go BOOM.
