They thought the devices were hidden, but if you can get explosives built in, you can probably also get the hard wired device identification list programed into them to allow them to be added to a telephone network. Then it is a matter of gaining access to the network’s meta data and see who is calling them. The device opens the door and leads back to those calling. This then provides collection targets to identify the callers and target SIGINT collection.
yeah, you can find the phones calling the pagers, not the pagers. Not saying that maybe, possibly, they could have somehow found enough room in the pager to put the explosives in and the tech to locate it, but I’m doubtful.
All I know is my hats off to Mossad. They had good enough intel to know when Nasralla told everyone to switch to pagers, identified who they would buy them from, and then infiltrated somewhere in the supply chain to intercept them and introduce an explosive into all of them.
I don’t think we could do that. There’s some very embarrassed people in Langley right now

They don’t need to add tech to the pager, just get the hard wired device identification code that allows it to be assigned a phone number in the network of the phone system. The sender types in the phone number of the device and the text. When they hit send the network of the phone company transmits the device identification code associated with that number and the text data to the network. The device receives the network wide signal with its device ID code and downloads the text data to storage and display. The phone company network keeps a log file of messages sent to the device ID and the number of the phone the call came from.
how did they put explosives in them?
My bet is the battery. With a low power rechargeable device it would represent an opportune place to hide a payload.
you just described how a pager receives a call. thats not going to tell you any more about where the pager is than what cell tower the message bounced off of. The network won’t even know which tower delivered the message. The pager isn’t sending anything back and has no location data. Yes, they can locate the phone that called it, they can’t locate the pager

With a bomb built into it, you don’t need to know its location. The two way communication devices, the actual phones, are going to be in the hands of the higher value targets, the ones who issue orders.

Either set up a front company, controlled by Mossad from the very beginning, to build them, or recruited elements within an established company to act as their agents and build the devices.

Bombs were most likely NOT installed in these pagers.
Within the hardware of the pager there is machine code regulating the voltage going in and out of the lithium batteries. Change that code. Boom.

These are clearly Samsung pagers.

no, if you seen the explosions it was not batteries. The explosions were to big and to violent to be batteries.
“Nasrallah conceded Hezbollah had suffered a “major and unprecedented” blow. But he also struck a defiant tone, saying Israel would face a “just punishment”
As he delivered his televised address, Israeli warplanes broke the sound barrier over Beirut."
