Devices sold by spy
Washington Post gets exclusive credit for breaking the story behind those exploding devices which crippled Hezbollah. The pagers should have a “made in Israel” sticker because they were. In 2022.
When they were done, spies “integrated” them into “the supply line of the Thai manufacturer Apollo without their knowledge.” It was a well kept secret. Another one is that Hezbollah has been bugged and rigged with explosives far longer than that.
When you walk up to the fast food counter, the zombie on the other side has been programmed to quiz, “you want fries with that?” It’s called a “suggestive sale” and they do it because it works. The same tactic worked like a charm on Hezbollah.
The smiling and friendly sales girl had exactly the devices they needed, she assured. The sales representative working for Mossad or another spooky group “managed to convince Hezbollah to purchase 5,000 pagers.”
You’ll love them, she soothed, “arguing that they were immune to Israeli spying.” That was the hot button to catch the goat humpers’ interest, so she swooped in to close the deal. We have several devices available in your price range, she noted.
Considering you’ll be using them in rugged locations you’ll want the hard case model. And of course the extended battery because places to plug in your charger can be scarce. Oh look! I see I can give you a discount on those. We’ll have the Ayatollah write a check, they gloated. “The terrorist organization purchased the pagers and equipped its operatives with them.”
Not the first time
The real shocker is that this “operation was preceded by another action by the Mossad a decade ago, during which hundreds of communication devices were sold to Hezbollah and transferred to its militants.”
Israel had a hard time making the decision to actually detonate the bombs, the gear was too helpful in other ways.
Those had built in bombs but also other valuable features. They “were not only equipped with explosives but also with tracking devices that allowed Israel to listen to conversations held on them.”
Another detail just disclosed explains why the injuries were so serious.
Once Netanyahu gave the green light to push the detonation button, “the militants received a message on the pager stating that an encrypted message was waiting for them.” Those are important so got the victims’ full attention.
Retrieving the message from those devices “required pressing two buttons simultaneously and using both hands for reading.” As they had done often, without thinking about it, Bango. Both arms vaporized to the elbow. At the very least. “This way, Israel ensured that the injuries of Hezbollah militants would be significant, affecting both their hands.“
