    The pagers allegedly exploded their bombs by heating up the device. If this is similar Hezbollah should consider burning one piece of all of their electronics to see whether they explode.

      As this story has developed it has become increasingly clear that this was a supply chain attack where explosives were inserted into the electronics

        The BBC reported it was a Taiwanese brand to let a Hungarian company manufacture them on their behalf. The pagers were brought to Lebanon 5 months ago. The Hungarian company has been around since about 2022.

        For this to be a supply chain attack, the level of sophistication indicates Israeli intelligence was at this for years, from setting up a shell company, infiltrating manufacturing companies, etc. We don’t know whether the Taiwanese company was compromised as well.

        Now this last part is a bit of a conspiracy theory, but it makes you wonder what the real reason the US banned Huawei. Could they have been approached as a potential manufacturer and they said no? The timeline certainly works.

          The shit the Mossad comes up with and pulls off would be impressive if it weren’t to serve an appartheit State.

          It also helps they can ignore the fallout from blowing up stuff with total disregard for international law or basic morals
