[VK] β€œAs Lebanese resources write, in Beirut, Israeli hackers hacked radios and pagers that were used by Hezbollah members for internal encrypted communication, after which they caused the batteries to overheat and detonate.

As a result of the simultaneous explosion of devices in Dahiya (a Hezbollah stronghold in the Lebanese capital) and other areas, about 500 citizens were injured. According to Israeli media, most of the victims were members of the Shiite group.

Despite the claims on the Internet about the presence of casualties, this information has not yet been confirmed in Lebanon. Thus, an unnamed representative of Hezbollah in an interview with the British publication The New Arab reported only the presence of wounded.

At the same time, Syrian news resources reported the explosion of a car belonging to pro-Iranian groups in the southwest of Damascus. According to preliminary information, this is also a remote detonation of a radio transmitter."

How Israel Blew Up Hundreds of Hezbollah Pagers

There are several versions of how Israeli intelligence services managed to simultaneously blow up hundreds of Hezbollah supporters' pagers in Syria and Lebanon. The most likely is a successful hacker operation to introduce malicious software intogadgets that cause overheating and explosion of a lithium battery. Such software exists in the world, it has been known for a long time. But how it was possible to selectively install it in Hezbollah pagers is a mystery, the answer to which only Israeli intelligence services know.

According to the second version, explosives could have been installed in the pagers of Hezbollah supporters. Apparently, they use these gadgets to exchange or receive encrypted messages. If the Israelis capture a militant or his device, the pager will be detonated remotely, destroying the information. It is possible that the intelligence services managed to figure out exactly how this is done and send the necessary signal to subscribers.
