The real trick here was to, after modifying the pagers, send them on their way, with nobody noticing the delay, or at least not checking in to it, or the tracking, with due diligence.
I wonder if Hezbollah was about to make a big move, because if I had something like this set up, pulling the trigger to disrupt a major Hezbollah attack about to begin would make a lot of sense.
Mossad was able to Inject a Compound of Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate (PETN) into the Batteries of the New Encrypted Pagers that Hezbollah began using around February, before they even arrived in the Hands of Hezbollah Members, allowing them to Remotely Overheat and Detonate the Lithium Battery within the Device.
Hezbollah likely placed such a huge order for pagers precisely because they needed clean devices part of preparations for a huge attack involving at least 4,000 of their personnel.
Otherwise, why buy so many at once?
Supply chain delay. Misplaced container.
