Keeping communication equipment under lock is as stupid as carrying unloaded weapon. It's supposed that it's always with it's user in order to fulfill its main purpose - share informations wherever and whenever its needed.

The exploded pager use normal batteries, it is now 100% explosives being planted within the pager.



Not sure if this is really type of pager we're speaking about but if so then it looks rather as rigged supply. It's not probable that such batteries can cause such damage.

Initial Thoughts on Attack Using Pagers Across Lebanon

Too early to draw conclusions, but the explosions do not appear consistent with typical battery fires/explosions associated with telecommunication devices or even larger power banks, and instead look like small explosives;

As the US compromises computer hardware on the factory floor with security back doors, Israel may have compromised a batch of pagers either at the factory or between manufacturing and distribution, placing a small remotely detonated explosive similar in size to a cherry bomb inside - this is pure speculation at this point;

The incident, regardless of the methods used, is a serious wake up call for nations and organizations about the central importance of technology and the need to be self-sufficient;

This technology should be approached in the same manner as arms and other high security items, not as consumer goods - technology and information space should both be seen as central to national security, not at its periphery;

Anything with a chain of custody that could potentially put a device or system in the enemy's hands before yours is a security threat;

This can be done with any device...

I'm wondering how they did it in the first place? I didn't know that EW could do this.



Edit: I see those pagers were "set to self destruct", so they were rigged and dispersed amongst Hez members...

The rechargeable pagers were confiscated and held for some time before being released and shipped to #Lebanon. There, #Israel tempered the pagers and placed the 1-3 gram explosive device in each pager.

Keeping communication equipment under lock is as stupid as carrying unloaded weapon. It's supposed that it's always with it's user in order to fulfill its main purpose - share informations wherever and whenever its needed.

you never carry a loaded weapon when you are around civilians (not on the front line) unless you are preparing for action (to kill somebody). it takes a couple of seconds to put a full magazine in and if you do not have a couple of seconds to spare than you did something very wrong and a loaded weapon will not help you.

security zone does not begin 2 meters from you, it begins in a much wider area. as how much wider area depends on time and distance that threat has to travel before it comes in proximity to you. just my two cents..everybody does what works for him. we do not have to agree..but having a loaded weapon all the time does have disadvantages.  

for example, if the trigger sear is worn down, the weapon can discharge by itself. and trigger sears have a tendency to get worn down, especially if weapon is used a lot.

Well, that's a load of bullshit right here. Of course you keep your gun loaded. That's the meaning of carrying weapon for self defense. You never know in what kind of situation you appear. There is trigger discipline (ie. never put your finger on trigger unless you are really going to pull it) and gun safety (ie. keep your gun in best condition, don't use weapon with worn trigger sear so it won't discharge itself) to protect uninvolved bystanders or its owner. And i'm not even reminding that keeping revolver unloaded is even more stupid. And yes, cylinder type weapons are still quite favorite for selfdefense.

as i said...we do not have to agree on the topic. but do not expect me to call you on tea and cookies at my place. beacuse carrying a loaded weapon does make you a security risk.

but we can both agree that every person has a right to have a weapon ? right ? then, everything is good. this are just small nuances

Actually, security risk is a guy, who thinks that keeping a clip and a weapon separately is somehow safe so it may happen that, as he is sure that the weapon is unloaded because he has magazine in other pocket, he forgets about one in the chamber. I've seen such incidents already (not on my own eyes, just to be clear).
But of cours, we don't have to agree on the topic as you wrote.

if clip is in the weapon than there is one in the chamber. and you should always asume that weapon is loaded. any weapon, everytime you take a weapon in your hands. and checking it again is not a waste of time.

Hezbollah are completely deaf and blind and injured (as organization). complete collapse of whole organization in one swift move.
