Honestly, this exploding pagers story has to be one of the craziest things that happened IRL. If you put this in a movie I would say it jumped the shark at that point.
Honestly it’s so fascinating if you can step aside how heinous an act it is. However many “bad guys” they wanted to kill I don’t think the collateral damage is acceptable.
Like I want to know the details of how they breached the supply chain, how they knew who would have any given pager, how they switched up to walkie talkies.
For all the evil that mossad commit you can’t deny they’ve got skills, but I guess with unlimited money and a warped ideology anything is possible.
The boring answer is that Mossad probably were the ones who convinced Hezbollah to move to pagers in the first place, likely through double agents, and likely also controlled the supply chain from the beginning. They probably also didn’t actually care about who specifically had a pager, and just made sure they were distributed thoroughly within Hezbollah.
Can you believe your comment was how I found out that happened? I thought it was just a joke at first, like something so absurd that could only happen in a comedy movie.

The exploding walkie talkies as the follow up was really too much.

They were reportedly tracking movement via cell phones, so it was kind of “natural” to move to other comm channels, too.
