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
They shoulda bought 1-way pagers instead - 1-way pagers sold are powered by AA or AAA batteries - there mistake was purchasing brand new up-to-date pagers
@peeppeepcircus @ecksmc or maybe Israel intercepted the shipment of pagers, installed explosives, and let them go to their destination.
@matuzalem @ecksmc @peeppeepcircus whatever system they used it was brilliant, I hope they let everyone know what they did .
@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
i just saw that market video on BBC, and BBC is saying it couldn't have just been a lithium battery overheating.
@ecksmc @peeppeepcircus but we still don’t know anything about it other than the event. I’m very curious though.
@matuzalem Here's one video. Doesn't appear to be major explosives used. https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/hundreds-of-hezbollah-operatives-pagers-explode-in-apparent-attack-across-lebanon-cf31cad4 @ecksmc @peeppeepcircus
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
@matuzalem @ecksmc
next level.
