I didn't realize pagers were a current technology. This is incredible. An escalation to prompt de-escalation seems like a risky bet at best.

@pinkears my understanding is that the Hezbollah network thought the pagers were safer for communicating than cell phones. They periodically get new ones. Apparently, Israel may have intercepted the latest supply chain and inserted small amounts of high grade explosive powder in them. Then, they could send one signal to arm them and a simple message to detonate the explosives, simultaneously, to hundreds of fighters in the network at the same time. Of course, this also caused a lot of collateral civilian injuries.

She put a huge number of people at risk, she knew damn well what she was doing, and there should be consequences.
