The preparations for the Exploding Pagers, that have killed 12, and wounded 4000, more than 200 of them seriously, apparently took months. More on how the Mossad did it can be found here: “Cyber expert: Preparation for Hezbollah beeper explosions likely took months,” by Dr. Itay Gul, Jerusalem Post, September
The mysterious pager explosions on Tuesday that wounded more than 3,600 people in Lebanon, mostly Hezbollah terrorists, were the result of extensive planning, according to an Israeli cyber expert. The operation involved embedding components within the beepers that could translate signals into ignition and detonation, he said.
“In the world of cyber, there’s a concept known as the supply chain,” said Oleg Brodt, director of research, development, and innovation at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev’s Cyber Labs.
“Many attacks occur by compromising the supply chain,” he told Maariv. “An electronic device, like a beeper, contains numerous components, and each one could be infected with malware. This malware could be designed to raise the device’s temperature, cause a malfunction, ignite it, or even trigger an explosion.”…
So many different components, from how many different companies, did each of these pagers contain? At what point, and by whom, was that malware introduced? It will be hellishly difficult for Hezbollah to figure out which component, or components, in all those pagers that now lie blown to smithereens, was the one that the Mossad had tampered with, and into which it had introduced its malware. Which plants manufacturing each of these components had a Mossad agent on its assembly line? And if there are some pagers still intact, how will Hezbollah manage to open them so as to study their components without Mossad setting off those pagers’ explosive contents? The Mossad has made things hellishly difficult for Hassan Nasrallah’s technology department. There is no agency on earth quite like it.
Only flaming leftists are upset over this.
As for normal Americans, this recent victory was hard-core!
I heard Ocasio Cortez fuming over this – she can’t quit her Jew-hate. Not a word about the 12 Druze kids murdered by the Hezzies or our dead marines.
They are brilliant. Ironic that the terrorists are now being terrorized.
So true, come on Mossad bring it on, it’s pay back time. Now you can have a taste of your own medicine
Hezbollah terrorists.
Imagine what an enemy could to the US Navy, especially while the ships are at sea.
And we’re not even gonna get into how the Navy allows personnel to bring aboard devices that can be tracked anywhere in the world.
Does Hassan Nasrallah still have his pager? Mossad push the button.
I hope Israel pushes the button for the TRAITORS here in the United States.
Imagine who that would be! Imams, sleeper cells, Obama… 51 intelligence agents, members of Congress, White House, and MSM!
I guarantee members of the House, Senate, anyone involved with Hamas and their ilk, will be losing sleep.
They know they will never be out of Mossad’s reach.
There’s a CARTOON featuring RASHIDA TLAIB sitting at her desk when her pager explodes: “Strange.. my pager just blew up!”
MORE TRUTH AND FUNNY TOO! Imagine who she is passing on our secrets to!
CATCH HER… by giving her false info concerning NUMBERS: “Rashida, we are bringing all of you in one at a time for this secret briefing. Israel is planning a massive assault on Lebanon, an invasion that hasn’t been seen since D-Day, on October Seventh at TWO AM to be exact. It’s called Operation Bullseye.”
GIVE ALL THE SUSPECTED TRAITORS different times, listen in on the terrorist devices: “This is Melanie… invasion, 2am, 7-10. Over.”
What a stupid article. “In the world of cyber, there’s a concept known as the supply chain,” Really? Who woulda thunk it? . “An electronic device, like a beeper, contains numerous components,” Wow this is next level. “which component, or components, in all those pagers that now lie blown to smithereens, was the one that the Mossad had tampered with, and into which it had introduced its malware. Really? What a mystery. Like how about the microcontroller, i.e. the cpu (mcu) that runs the whole device with onboard memory? Or the flash memory where embedded code is stored and accessed by the mcu?
contempt usually starts with the name
This tactic is brilliant beyond imagination. Not only is the effect immediate but this disrupted the entire communication network and instilling panic among not only the terrorists but their handlers and command all the way to the top. Panic causes them to make mistakes, mistakes force players into the open and into snares prepared by Mossad. These snares will entangle the terrorists all the way to their financiers such as Soros, Schwabb, etc. This will lead to foreign governments as well as the US.
The traitors in the Congress and Senate as well as White House will likely already been exposed giving Mossad all they need.
Brilliant, just brilliant!
And the ones in britain too.
It not only panicked the terrorists, but their Leftist cheerleaders here in the US.
YHVH BLESS MOSSAD and Israel!!!
Wow. That’s pretty insidious. I”m impressed. But it probably won’t be long before the Left starts calling it a violation of the Geneva Convention. Oh, well. War is hell.
I consider the exploding pagers heavenly. ~
How many missiles does Hezbollah have pointed at Israelies ??
It’s a bitch ain’t it, scared terrorists, terrorised terrorists, I love it ….
“Those mean Mossad are being mean to us mummy …
In all likelihood they already are.
But what I haven’t heard is which portion of Geneva makes terrorizing combatant terrorists a violation.
What’s the point of the Geneva Convention when Iran calls for decades for the anihilation of Israel.
That’s all great, but what’s to stop our enemies from similarly rigging the devices that we all use? On the positive side, I guess that could cure us of our addiction to our smart phones!
What you said. …
Communist China inserts itself into our tech all over the place.
I wonder if there is a way to detect a rigged device? If not, foreign manufacturing by our adversaries (enemies?) is certainly a major concern.
Not the way Mossad designs them. Mossad is matched by no one.
I did a quick search on this, and they are saying that this scheme only worked on older technologies because there is space in the devices for an explosive charge. The newer cell phones are so densely packed with hardware that no space is left for explosives. Also, the manufacturing of newer devices is more tightly controlled and harder to tamper with. Let’s hope they’re right!
I think it’s pretty hard to be as brilliant as Massad. So not that much chance of your dire prediction.
I hope you are right, but I seriously doubt that no one except Massad has that capability.
Many are called to terrorism. Those just called are no longer cut out to be terrorists.
I just cancelled my cell phone plan
See ya…
Text ’72 virgins’ and you will get your promise!!! Thank G d Isreal isnt back into appeasment of terrorist. The US useful idiots are Jew haters plain and simple. They love having the palestinians as a money laundering rackett.., no body else wants any piece of the garbage as evidenced by the wall between Egypt and gaza. Isreal needs to take gaza and west bank by force and push the terrorist into arab/moslem countries.., they know how to deal with terrorist.., they will wish they were back in Isreal!!! keep killing them all until they fully understand their ideology and behavior is unacceptable.., even the most powerful and ardent leftis, such as those int he biden/harris administration cant bail them out. Many people support Isreal directly and indirectly, financially and other wise.
As a retired engineer, I see this as a brilliant and very innovative use of pagers which is. for modern reasons, obsolete technology that has had it’s day in the sun.
Cellphone/smartphones will go the way of pagers in the near future. Brain implants will eventually supplant smartphones and computers.
And I recently bought a new Made in China turn-table and played some of my old jazz and classical records. I put the stereo system in my wife’s home office. (sarc)
Just Malware – and a dash of PETN?
Candygram for Hassan!
they love death , great to see that israel has obliged their choice seeing as america has gone chicken liver . keep up the good work israel .
Hez-ball-less. Such tough guys.
Hezbians 👌 👭 🧕🧕
Dune clowns everywhere will live in a paranoid snit. When a cell phone chimes the room will dive for cover.
If only our FBI was like Mossad!! Maybe Hamas would have never invaded our colleges…..
