ToI, Blinken denies US had advance knowledge of Hezbollah pager blasts in Lebanon: https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/blinken-denies-us-had-advance-knowledge-of-hezbollah-pager-blasts-in-lebanon/

“The United States did not know about, nor was it involved in, these incidents. We’re still gathering the information and gathering the facts,” Blinken says at a press conference in Cairo.

“Broadly speaking we’ve been very clear and we remain very clear about the importance of all parties avoiding any steps that could further escalate the conflict that we’re trying to resolve in Gaza,” he says.

Don’t win your war, Blinken says to Israel, and don’t you dare defeat Hezbollah on your northern border, lest the United States be forced to go further to war with you than it already is, you pip-squeak nation of pathetic Jews.

I’d bet my bottom dollar that Mossad hacked the hospital network beforehand and is now compiling a list of people who suddenly needed emergency room visits yesterday.

Another site, an interesting idea: Now the Israelis know, based on who went to see their wounded friends or family members, a whole heck of a lot about the network out to the cousins in some cases.

But you know a lot of the Just and Righteous are grumbling about the lack of dead civilians.

“My guess is that the pagers actually had small proper explosives in them (as opposed to some hacked firmware causing a lithium battery thermal runnaway explosion). Which of course would mean they were able to successfully pass off these compromised pagers to Hezbollah likely by knowing a fair bit about the venders they purchase them from and sneaking them into the supply chain.”

From what I have seen seen so far, my bet would be Massad intercepted a large shipment of pagers, opened them up, added tthe Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), and hacked the firmware. They could have reflashed it, replaced a chip, etc. the alternative would have been to compromise the software, to cause the battery to overheat, upon command. But, if they have te papers open they might as well hack them at te same time. One question – did they send out a single message, and the various pagers too different times to overheat and blow up, or were they triggered separately?

It had several benefits. First, and obviously, the in terrorem effect. Secondly, the locations of te pagers showed Israeli Intelligence where a ot of their operatives actually were in Lebanon.

Pagers became very popular in the1980s when their range was expanded. I used a pager when I was on reserve. That way I could leave the house and do yardwork, run errands, etc.- no more being stuck close to the phone waiting for a call from the crew desk.

I didn’t think they were still around since cell phones have become so ubiquitous. The fact that cells can be tracked is a double-edged sword. It’s good for law enforcement and tech companies. Bad for crooks and terrorists.

Devilish smart of those Mossad agents. In a world of technology, the Israelis have the edge over their jihadi enemies.
