Hezbollah thought going back to using pagers would help them
Only thing they went and got new pagers - pagers used by Hezbollah members were equipped with lithium batteries, which were likely responsible for the explosions - With batteries, a chain reaction called thermal runaway can cause the battery to generate even more heat and eventually catch fire or explode - the handheld pagers system was detonated using advanced technology that technology we don't know about
@ecksmc it’s a hack of the system to make the batteries short out. Don’t know how but it was brilliant.
next level.
@peeppeepcircus @ecksmc or maybe Israel intercepted the shipment of pagers, installed explosives, and let them go to their destination.
@matuzalem @peeppeepcircus yeah that's likely
Reports the pagers were all from a recent shipment gives credit to this happening - they intercepted shipment - installed malware on that shipment - waited for right moment knowing all pagers were active - *pushed big red button*
@matuzalem @peeppeepcircus if you've seen video of it happening, i saw one in a market happening, the explosion doesn't look that bad but the person went down like a ton of brick's and didn't get up again
The malware & technology used, that some "experts" say was used, we more than lickey wont ever be told about in full..... For a long time that is... Unless someone leaks methods used or one pager didn't explode, and is "dissected", and malware is found its speculation really
there are plenty of old videos of lithium batteries exploding, in laptops, smartphones, and they do tend to explode in that manner - more smoke than flames happen - overheat a battery enough and fast enough and it will explode which you could do using malware
There was a story a few years back about something similar happening to target individuals - i cant mind keywords i used in my post - i mind me & phase talking about it when it happened
