    So if I understand correctly, Israel managed to get a bunch of people in Hezbollah to use pagers and walkie talkies that contained bombs.

    Think about it like, there’s one person who was able to tell the perpetrators of this that a big order of communication devices is being made.

    Perpetrators are clearly sophisticated so it’s fair to assume they can throw some skilled team at it.

    This attack could be years in the making.

      From a spy craft and capabilities standpoint it’s an amazing attack. I’m skeptical that using the devices as bombs is more useful than using them for spying, but who knows? It is super fucked up that random people who happen to be near the targets could be hurt. But between that and the stuxnet attack, it’s safe to say that Israel is capable of crazy sophisticated attacks.
