BEIRUT, Sept 17 – Hundreds of members of the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, including fighters and medics, were seriously wounded on Tuesday when the pagers they use to communicate exploded, a security source told Reuters.
A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the “biggest security breach” the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of war with Israel.
A Reuters journalist saw ambulances rushing through the southern suburbs of the capital Beirut amid widespread panic. Residents said explosions were taking place even 30 minutes after the initial blasts.
Groups of people huddled at the entrance of buildings to check on people they knew who may have been wounded, the Reuters journalist said.

OMG, absolutely brilliant.
Pardon me while I take a break to open up my iPhone to look for a chunk of C4 explosive.

I wonder how the Israelis got ahold of the pagers to put explosives in them?
If I was doing the planning I would
- Find out where Hezboulah buys their pagers from
- Put an asset at the company in the shipping department
- Either modify the pagers right in the manufacturing plant or intercept the shipment
- Modify the software or the pager to arm the explosive when the right phrase was texted to the pager, rigged to blow up when the user viewed the text

Ingenious. I would like to know which Israeli intelligence agency conceived this ruse.

I used to manage the pagers for a hospital. Wiring a pager to blow up would be pretty easy…and with a single message code you could set them all off at one time.
This is genius. It’s also hilarious to think of the lower level guys wondering why THEIR pager didn’t blow up.
