I am sure most of you have seen the news reports circulating regarding Hezbollah's exploding Pagers. This is like a story line from a movie as this quite incredible , scary and masterful all at the same time. This is beyond genius, but ever so effective hitting your enemy in a way they could never have imagined.
The only reason Hezbollah moved over to the somewhat archaic paging devices was a cell phone can be hacked and compromised. The idea of moving to a paging device was deemed far safer yet it was a deadly trap. For those of you who never had the joy of using a paging service they have been round in some form from the 1920's known as bleepers used in US Police cars and then known as Pagers (Motorola) from the 1970's up to the early 2000's.
We had them at work prior to cell phones without text messages when we would receive a message to phone someone and then use a land line/cell phone to make contact. The genius of this plan is Mossad obviously scared Hezbollah enough forcing them to use Paging devices. They switched over from cell phones to Pagers and now what will they use?
The crazy part is how you can get a device to explode and then secondly all of them to go off at the same time. In the army some of us were fortunate enough to have experienced the very basic plastic explosive course which was geared for the special forces. Our commandant was testimony to how careful you have to be as a detonator went off in his hand due to body temperature and lost fingers, his eye sight and his eye lids. Another fact is an ammunition dump may have an electric fence on it's perimeter, but it can never be turned on because of the electric current emitting signals.
One of the most ingenious operations in modern warfare.
My guess is there had to have been an explosive already inside of the pager ad not a signal that heated up the battery. I am not even sure what batteries were used on paging devices and they certainly weren't what we have in our cell phones. The Pagers had to have been specially prepared being part of a very clever, ingenious plan.
This would mean Hezbollah was compromised with Mossad being able to supply them with a special batch of pagers. We know Mossad is the best in the world at what they do and they prove over and over how good they really are. The scary part is the reported numbers of casualties and deaths which highlights how brilliant this plan was. What we know is whoever had one of these Paging devices that blew up was connected to Hezbollah and not one gun shot was even fired. Somebody sent a message and boom a mini hand grenade just went off in someone's pocket.
Could someone make your cell phone blow up is the question and I don't think it is impossible not to think they will in the future. We knew certain phones were susceptible to catching fire at some point due to the batteries heating up. I am just glad it is not a job I am involved of having to think up a thousand ways to kill my enemy.
