As a spy thriller fan, I love reading about the clever gadgets the good guys use to vanquish the bad guys, which is why I've been fascinated by the story of Hezbollah's deadly exploding pagers. How did Israel pull this off? Was it really Israel who did this? This attack is even more exacting than the exploding bed at the Iranian "safe" house.
Now we're learning more details of the attacks, and they're as impressive as they are diabolical.
Three thousand beepers exploded this week, killing a bunch of Hezbollah terrorists and some innocents. Iran's ambassador to Lebanon lost an eye in the attack.
After that attack, Hezbollah began using walkie-talkies, and they exploded.
When the terrorists decided to meet in person in Lebanon Friday, someone bombed the meeting.
Israel has not confirmed it carried out the attacks, nor is it likely they will ever lay claim to them, but U.S. intelligence officials who talked to their favorite intelligence mouthpiece, the New York Times, claimed Israel pulled it off. Time will tell what the truth is.
...
The Times reports that Israel "did not tamper with the Hezbollah devices that exploded, defense and intelligence officials say. It manufactured them as part of an elaborate ruse."
That's right. The shell company sold the rigged pagers manufactured by the good guys.
And this is the best part of the story—if you hate Islamo-Nazi terrorists, anyway—Hezbollah paid for its own rigged and exploding pagers.

WE WOULD NEVER BE STRONG ENOUGH OR SMART ENOUGH (ANYMORE)TO CARRY OUT SUCH A THING!!
I still suspect the ‘home solar’ explosions are fake news. Can’t find any proof on the web.
If only our CIA was as inventive, creative and truly “Americn” as the Mossad is for Israel.
Now I also believe the world is watching ... specifically the ChiComs. If they haven’t already done it, why should we believe any Chinese made, hi-tech, is safe anymore. The lithium batteries in E.V.’s and solar, are suspect too.
Anything massive could easily have explosives internally. It won’t take much to start a battery on fire.
The Israelis borrowed an idea from the bible.
Get the ‘first-born’ and hope the evil stops.
Now, get them without them being aware of how it happened, and get the evil to stop.
Hezbollah got the extra security exist good deal….
Three thousand beepers exploded this week... After that attack, Hezbollah began using walkie-talkies, and they exploded. When the terrorists decided to meet in person in Lebanon Friday, someone bombed the meeting... [and] Hezbollah paid for its own rigged and exploding pagers.
That'll teach 'em to shop on AliBaba. /rimshot
I’ve done enough research in a few days on the net to get on yet another watch list. Explosives, detonators, relays, and pagers in general. Frankly, I’m surprised at how many technically mined people are seemingly disinterested or simply accepting bad assumptions.
One of the best Car Searms in recent years, when Israel misdialed the Hizbully meetup.
I am sure the fear of exploding war materiel and reprogrammed computerized weapon systems will slow down any military response from Hezbollah. Probably a prelude to massive destruction of Hezbollah assets.
Israel is probably gonna’ destroy every military asset Hezbollah has. And also will track every injured or dead Hezbollah fighter for further info. gathering and retribution.
IMHO.
Is that an exploding pager in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?
They are too busy trying to take over America for the Communists to do anything to actually protect America and Americans.
By all means, use terrorists' own tech devices against them. My favorite would be cars that lock them inside, then ignite and burn them to death. But the pagers and the radios, that was good too. The fear will make them shun western tech and have them riding camels, sleeping in caves, and talking via smoke signals to each other.
All great when the IDF is doing it to Hezbollah, but other governments now have the idea and will use it against dissenters, too. It's just too tempting to have the ability to eliminate your opponent with the touch of a button. I fear that eventually NO devices will be safe for ANYONE.
The nice part was, these pagers were used by Hezbollah leadership to communicate, so they were only in the hands of the local leaders, not just everyday peons ...
Think about that ... with just one text-page, Israel managed to incapacitate 3000 Hezbollah leaders simultaneously ... LOL!!!
“WE WOULD NEVER BE STRONG ENOUGH OR SMART ENOUGH (ANYMORE)TO CARRY OUT SUCH A THING!!”
So true. We didn’t no anything when a vegetable was allowed to steal an election. We are not strong or smart.
YAH. ! GO ISRAEL!!!
We didn’t no anything
We didn’t DO anything
Ford was the first President to make such a EO in the wake of the "revelations" engineered by the Dems to protect their brethren foreign Communists and other enemies of the United States.
I would also note that our intel agencies have not been worth caca since the Church committee hearings.
That works about as well as the signs at the mall that say No Guns Allowed on the Premises.
