Hezbollah said wireless devices belonging to its members had exploded, and the health minister said more than 2,700 people had been injured. Hezbollah blamed Israel, but the Israeli military declined to comment.
This is wild. Does the IDF have the capability of making a person’s cell phone explode? Are they able to hack the power management or something? Is almost everyone on earth carrying a bomb? WTF.
My guess is that they figured out that Hezbollah was ordering new encrypted pagers for their members, and modified the devices to include explosives and a mechanism to remotely detonate them.
