Trump would do well to dump it. Netenyahu will use the device if it thinks the result will enrich him.

Reuters · How Israel’s bulky pager fooled Hezbollah

#Lebanon was the largest threat to Israel because it used #pagers to coordinate daily rocket attacks into #Israel.
#Hezbollah can NOT send thousands of rockets simultaneously into Israel without their pagers.
This is why the popcorn pagers was so effective.

10/ If one looks closely, one can see that actually two slightly different AR-924 #pagers are shown: the newer one from 2022-10-10 gained small nubs on the buttons. My guess (see below) is that they are status LEDs.
So, whoever built them created multiple revisions.
A small #OSINT thread about the AR-924 #pagers of which thousands exploded in Lebanon a week ago.
tl;dr: a custom design that includes a peculiar Li-ion battery.
Note: as far as I know, there is no evidence that other pager models have exploded, too.

"Israel attacked more than 300 sites in Lebanon Monday, killing at least 182 people and injuring more than 700 others as fears grow of an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah."

It's a video from 2021. Here is more context: https://misbar.com/en/factcheck/2024/09/22/outdated-video-falsely-linked-to-recent-hezbollah-rocket-fire-toward-israel
In times of war always double check!
I still don't understand why the rockets are making thus U-turn...
On X this video is circulating. It's traces of rockets fired from Lebanon to Israel, but they turn back to the place they was launched from. New hack by Israel? After Hezbollah is already humiliated to the bones, this would be too funny if after pagers, radios and solar panels their own rockets fly at them.
Some claim it's Iron Dome, but confirmed Iron Dome launches are looking a little different. I have not seen it covered by other news, but I am very curious to find out what's really behind it.

"They probably thought the world would applaud. The Israeli planners behind one of the most spectacular intelligence actions in the country’s history – targeting thousands of Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon and beyond by exploding the pagers in their pockets – would certainly have expected an ovation for the sheer audaciousness of it."

"It was not purely the scale of the attack – substantial though it was – that caused shock and disbelief among the Lebanese, but the pervasiveness of it. Doctors tossed away their pagers, wedding planners dispensed with their walkie-talkies, and parents disconnected their baby monitors."

"This has been widely reported in the Western press as a sophisticated campaign that targeted alleged Hezbollah operatives, but the reality is that, for the most part, these explosions were occurring in civilian areas, in vegetable markets and in the supermarket and the funeral, as you mentioned."
