They literally never knew what hit them. Hezbollah is still trying to figure out how Israel allegedly intercepted a shipment of new pagers from Taiwan and planted one or two ounces of explosives in them. Then, with nobody the wiser, shipped 5,000 pagers merrily on its way to end up in the pockets of Hezbollah operatives and fighters.
The reported details of this operation reveal a startlingly thorough job of planning and execution right down to the fake message from Hezbollah leadership that detonated the devices. Israel has not taken responsibility for the attack, though it's widely believed they were behind it.
The death toll has risen to 11, with nearly 3,000 wounded, many of them critically.
The 5,000 pagers were ordered from the Taiwanese electronics company Gold Apollo. "Most were the company’s AR924 model, though three other Gold Apollo models were also included in the shipment," reports the New York Times.
The explosives were embedded next to the battery and included a switch that would detonate the device remotely. At 3:30 p.m. local time, the pagers beeped three times, as they were programmed to do, with a message that appeared to be from Hezbollah headquarters.
A few seconds later, the pagers detonated.
Hezbollah did not reply to questions from Reuters on the make of the pagers. Gold Apollo's founder said the company did not make the pagers used in the explosions in Lebanon. They were manufactured by a company in Europe that had the right to use the Taiwanese firm's brand.
Hezbollah fighters began using pagers in the belief they would be able to evade Israeli tracking of their locations, two sources familiar with the group's operations told Reuters this year.

Well hell.....I think I got a pretty good idea. Lol!
3,000 wounded. Wow. Those were some powerful explosions.
They may want to consider using Dixie cups connected by kite string.
Surreptitiously

Fixed.
Indubitably
LMAO
Video in the hospital showed some devastating wounds. Good op. Some tolks may be soiling themselves any time a phone rings, for a while.
Im almost certain the way it was carried out was with a little hand-held device with a round red button in the center, and some Mossad agent cackling as he pressed that red button.
“You can run, but you cannot hide.”
Lol, maybe because their pagers are not working?
This is a different way of bombing into the stone age.

“Hezbollah fighters began using pagers in the belief they would be able to evade Israeli tracking of their locations...”
Well, they were successful at evading Israeli tracking......Israeli wrath, not so much.
Gives new meaning to the old advertisement slogan “Reach out and touch someone” 😏
Mashallah...
Jews
Nothing if not very clever
I bet Hezbollah is now worried if those 50-60,000 rockets they hold might explode on ignition. Loll
