    Crazy, that tactic sounds straight out of a science fiction novel - 80s science-fiction, given it’s pagers, but still… I really wonder how they pulled it off. Did the IDF design the explosive pagers in the first place or did they find some insane hardware/software flaw that allowed that kind of remote explosion?

      They had to be designed or modified to explode. Which makes it a big question of where they came from. Lots of legitimate ways Israel could have done it, and a lot of ways that could involve violating laws and treaties.

        Some where, there’s a guy in a basement getting a handshake and plaque.

          Oh for sure Israel is handing out some commendations. I’m just curious how they managed it because there could be implications that arise. If it was a company helping them, there could be financial repercussions, if it was the CIA there could be political issues.

      NYT reports they added explosives.
