That one was a bomb, today's attack was by heating the lithium battery.

#134any indication which brand(s) of pagers were in use?
I saw a speculation on r/lebanon:

I can't find the link now, but it was based on an image of the back of burned pager.

#135I read somewhere that these were likely Motorola devices. Does that mean they are complicit in adding explosives to their pagers (wtf?) or is Mossad conducting supply chain attacks on such a massive scale? How do they ensure only the right pagers explode? Or did they randomly blow up a bunch of innocent pager users?

#137One aspect here that is not commented on but has long-term security implications:
Assuming these were indeed Hezbollah devices, its likely every single Hezbollah operative now has an identifying wound, possibly a missing limb or wound at the hip level. The wound may be in fact, unmistakable.
What happens later with the lebanese armed forces and with IDF, when they see the ops in the open, its anyone's guess

#139There will be better experts here, but it is correct that batteries cannot explode like this, right?
