Not about to try and figure out a fix for their communications. In some places, carrying devices as this is like telling everyone all they need to know. I stopped carrying a cell phone except for emergencies. Leave a text.

This isn't funny to me; it's like a warning sign. The future of war shared around the world on our computers and TVs. In a moment, what could possibly happen?
 
I have seen nothing about this, but I cannot fathom how someone could remotely cause Li-ion batteries in a pager to explode. I also thought that using pagers had fallen out of favor long ago. I have seen no one using a pager for a very long time, at least not in the USA.

as per 6:30 world news, CBS-- they used an explosive.
 
The New York Post and other sources are reporting that the Mossad intercepted the shipment of pagers and put PETN inside near the batteries. They also found a way to detonate that when they wanted to.

PETN is nasty stuff. More than one terrorist has "self eliminated" their threat due to cooking up IED's with it. The Israelis are technologically sophisticated, although sparking off 2800 25 gm loads simultaneously is next level, even for them. Joe

The terrorists have switched to pagers for some of their communications because the Israelis had tapped into so many of their phones and their networks.
This new trick was pulled off after the Israelis intercepted a huge shipment of pagers headed for the Hezbolla territories. They disassembled the pagers, inserted the small explosive devices, reassembled the pagers, repacked them, and sent them on their way when finished.
Brilliant.
Message From Netanyahu: CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?

I have not seen a pager since the '90s. Looks like that technology will need replaced. The vids I saw were pretty good. Ouch.
 
I hear the Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon was one of the "exploded". Bet he regrets pulling rank and snagging one of those cool new pagers......:)

On a more serious note, I can't see Hezbollah and Iran not responding.
