I'm reminded of the use of an exploding cellphone to assassinate Hamas operative Yahya Ayyash ("The Engineer") in 1996. But that was obviously a very targeted and elaborate operation. The exploding pagers must have involved some kind of mass supply chain compromise.

@mattblaze Right?! Didn't most pagers run for at least a week on a single AA cell? I guess now we have to secure POCSAG.
in reply to Matt Blaze

@mattblaze Yeah, this does not seem targeted at all.... Likely every pager (or a significant number of pagers) shipping into the country recently rigged somehow. Or, they rigged an entire shipment that was provided to Hezbollah specifically (maybe through Iran given the involvement there of an official).
in reply to AI6YR Ben

The logistics required to pull this off are mind-boggling, even if youโ€™re (say) Israel. They had to get intel that they were about to switch to pagers and then be quickly ready with a fully realized supply chain compromise. Did they have a warehouse full of exploding pagers sitting around ready to go, just in case the opportunity arose someday?

in reply to Matt Blaze

@mattblaze That's what I was wondering too. Did Israel quietly spread the word that the previous stuff was compromised too?
in reply to Matt Blaze

see here. Sounds like the colloquial use of explosion. Or, shrapnel from venting battery case and not an actual explosive compound. It still could be a supply chain attack to maximize the damage from an overheating cell and maybe an exploit to trigger it. infosec.exchange/@maldr0id/113โ€ฆ

@johne As I noted, there's a video. It does not look at all like a battery fire.
in reply to Matt Blaze

@johne The other big question: What model pagers were these? Do any one way pagers use LiIon batteries?
in reply to Matt Blaze

Hereโ€™s the likely model, they use LiIon batteries. But I find it extremely implausible that this was an explosion of a LiIon battery.
Now if anybody has a manual to this device with a picture of the innards and the back Iโ€™d be very happy.

Also, presumably some fraction of these exploding pagers were duds or were off at the time of the trigger, etc, and are now available for forensic examination.

@mattblaze Really pretty amazing, whatever your views on the Mideast. A true "holy sh*t!" moment.

#Gaza #Palestine

Top United Nations human rights experts have condemned Western nations for supporting Israel's devastating war on Gaza, urging the world to stop an unfolding genocide in Palestine.

This comes as the U.N. special rapporteur on the right to food, Michael Fakhri, is accusing Israel in a new report of carrying out a deliberate starvation campaign in Gaza.

Journalist Chantal Hรฉbert reporting that Conservative leader Pierre #Poilievre is viewed very negatively in Quebec.

However... when Stephen Harper won in 2011, he didn't need the seats from Quebec to win a majority government.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Poilievre can win a majority without winning any seats in #Quebec.

You don't have to. Despite what #DefendersOfTheStatusQuo want us to think, Canadians have never been willing to settle for a 2 party system.

Which is why we have choices. We just need to start using them to vote for what we want.
