  Not really. These were almost certainly tiny shaped RDX charges. Pretty sure that stuff isn’t in your everyday cellphone/smartphone. Israel must’ve identified and infiltrated the supply chain used by Hezbollah.

    There are critical facilities that still make high use of pagers in the US.

      They probably weren’t putting shaped charges into the pagers at the factory

        The explosive material was allegedly placed inside the pagers’ batteries and detonated by an external command that caused the batteries’ temperatures to overheat and trigger the explosion, the sources added.

        Yeah, you’re right. I read that article too quickly. Thought it said they just did something with malware to trigger the battery to explode.
