I'm glad people can appreciate the achievement, even if they don't support their actions.

They've done pagers, radios, and cellphones.

Drones that flap like a bird exist, one being used as a suicide drone wouldn't surprise me at all.

My understanding of this is those pagers and the network they were connected to were only for use by Hesbollah.

Definitely there has to be a good reason for it.

This predates the NSA, but they blew up a Russian pipeline with modified software.

I suspect that's not far off from what Israel did, from my understanding they modified a device's at a production level, it sounds like they essentially redesigned the pager.

It will be interesting to see how they did it with the radios.

Is anyone even remotely surprised by this?

I imagine being at war with Israel will induce paranoia from here out.

 

They'll find a way to make two cups and a string explode, the way this is going.

He was probably meeting with someone who had one, being an ambassador and all.

Multiple news articles are saying this was a production level attack, on devices that were specifically ordered by Hesbollah.

Those devices were bought by Hesbollah, for their soldiers to use, and were connected to a network they operate.

From what I understand about the attack, even if one of these devices made it's way into the hands of a doctor, it would have to be connected to the Hesbollah network to detonate.

We've never had a similar situation to compare to.

 

Three grams of explosive on a custom board, that they can detonate at will.

Kinda terrifying actually.
