Pager Explosion

So apparently word is that the Israeli government infected The Hezbollah fighters pagers (that they used to communicate) with malware causing them to all blow up in everyone's pocket all at once killing 10 I think including two young girls ages 8 and 10.
I have two main questions: First why were they using pagers like 1990's drug dealers
And THEY CAN PUT VIRUSES ON DEVICES AND BLOW THEM UP?!?!?!?!?!?!
This should scare the sh^t out of everyone of us

If anyone does that with cellphones in the U.S., the population would decrease by the millions.

I don't know how they could blow up a pager that wasn't pre-loaded

with an explosive unless they somehow managed to super heat the batteries and make them explode.

I'm assuming these pagers were intercpted and rigged...at least that's what I'm hoping.

I saw on the BBC website experts thinking the most likely scenario was supply chain infiltration by Mossad. Basically they intercepted a new shipment of pagers and retrofitted them with the explosives then sent them back on their way. They said even if you could somehow hack a pager to overheat the battery it wouldn’t explode like that.
Ironically, Hezbollah only uses pagers now because Mossad killed one of their top bomb makers by doing the same thing to his cell phone back in ‘96

Unlikely as the explosive material would show up on the xray scanners. If you ever get a look at the TSA screens there’s a lot of different colors on there that mean different material types

Word is that the pagers were all recently purchased. Which could mean they were manipulated with an explosive.

Seems like an easy way to escalate a war between Israel and Hezbollah. Send out new pagers to people you want rid of and blame on Israel.

It’s 2024 and I still lose cell reception a mile from my house. Back in 1991 my pager was the bomb. Not literally
