According to the New York Times, Israel tampered with the devices that Hezbollah ordered.
VIDEO OF SOME OF THE INCIDENTS AT LINK..................
They reportedly placed two ounces of explosive material next to the battery in each pager.
"A switch was also embedded that could be triggered remotely to detonate the explosives," the Times reported.
Hezbollah fighters received a message at 3:30 p.m. Lebanon time that looked like it was coming from Hezbollah’s leadership.
When the message came through, there was a brief pause, presumably so the fighters would raise the pagers toward their face, before they detonated.
Over 2,800 people were injured and 9 people were k*lled.
Ping!........................
Other sources say 20 grams which makes more sense than 2 ounces.
I liked the explanation that Hezbollah planted remote activated self destruct devices in the pager in case Israel seized any of them. And then accidentally sent the activate code to all their pagers.
Genius!
Yeah well, apparently they did!
Can you hear me now?
K*lled.
St*pid.
Hard choice... Mossad brilliance or Arab incompetence.
20g is less than an ounce lol
Lowest IQ people in the world, started a war with one of the top two competitors for the highest IQ guys next door.... hilarity ensues.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think that is the more reasonable explanation....The explanation that the devices were intercepted and ‘modified’ just has way too many parts coming together to be plausible....
Now, they should put a trigger in each new pager that detonates when the new owner opens it up to make certain no explosive is in it.
I assume intelligence is seeking all the faces they can find in all of these unfiltered videos this incident triggered, between that and the large number of identifying scarring from the unusual wounding, the Israelis will have a lot of info that is useful for years to come.
Seems to me that a reasonable self-destuct mechanism could be made with considerably less explosive effect. These were bombs.
I guess those papers about Ashkenazi Jews being smart are right.
Probably very limited collateral damage...precision targeting...very smart..
..
Well...thank goodness they weren’t from Iran. Shame, because they seem to have worked swell.
Could use bomb sniffing dogs or electronic chemical sniffers...either way..will slows lots of things up...
Yep, a little goes a long way.
