It's a safe bet that Israel managed to sneak into the supply chain for the opposing army.
Wouldn't these pagers be a chief example of a dumb device, likely used due to being cheap?
Pagers are receive only so they do not emit a signal that can be tracked.
I remember two way pagers being a thing, dunno what kind are in vogue over there.
Ah, military opsec. Got it.
Well these had added military grade high explosives and detonation circuitry so probably not that cheap!
Might have had a small charge of c4 or something attached to one of a series of multichannel pages, signal the whole mess at once and they all pop.
Hundreds of devices exploding simultaneously, what do you think?
Just not a joking matter when some civilians are maimed.
10 to 20 grams of HE. Apparently primed with a numeric code then exploded on the next use.
One of the reasons they were using pagers is that they'd already been targeted with exploding mobile phone! (Plus pagers are harder to track)
Indeed... its almost as if the British lent Q to the Israelis.
