Israel has a reckoning coming. The mercy they have shown is the mercy they will receive. I wish they would stop.
I wonder if we will ever find out who did it
Anyone else confused about how these bombs are actually detonating? Articles say they are detonating via a text message sent 3x in error, theoretically causing either a spark or a "closed circuit" like a different article explained. The article (from al jazeera) says they have to look at the message but there's video of one igniting in a bag.
I'm curious because I think these pagers may actually constitute a public safety risk, similar to how heavily landmined areas risk exploding even decades later on someone unrelated to the initial conflict.
Nothing in an electronic device, save for a very overvolted capacitor, could come anywhere near to as explosive as these were. Even LiPo batteries don't explode like that.
These were explosives planted in the devices when being manufactured.
Not sure if you've seen videos of the explosions or the aftermath.
I wonder how they did it. Was the firmware hacked to make the batteries ignite or were separate explosives implanted in each pager?
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
