Look like Mossad have pulled off a major coup.

Somehow got 1200 of their pagers to Hezbollah officials, packed them with explosive, phoned them up at the same time…

Aye, I just read that too. I suspect that things are about to get a bit spicy.

Did you see somewhere that they actually packed them with explosives? I think Mossad probably did something cleverer than that, and just harnessed the latent energy within the pagers. By using some kind of IT trickery, Malware or something, to cause the pager batteries to overheat and then explode. That's how I read it anyway.
Hard to believe that they'd be able to obtain 1200 of them, to insert the explosive, without Hezbollah noticing.

which is quite scary stuff - a relatively low thing like a pager battery - but able to explode them at will. And we all have one in our pockets too

I’m reading batteries or something, all will become clear I guess.

Quite simply the most effective bit of counter intelligence seen in recent times.

“Counter intelligence”

 

You’re wasted on tree work, Mick.

Crikey! That's some job. 

 

The armchair generals I've read seem to think it is a few grams of explosives, not just self-destructing pagers. 

 

But distributing 1200 of them (that number could continue to rise, the news was dozens at first, then hundreds, now 1200)... that’s just cartoon-style levels of whatever the hell this is.

 

Looking forward to seeing how this develops!

After this post I am going to throw my iphone in a water butt just to be on the safe side.
