Beeper as a Weapon

Reuters had a big article on how the pagers worked on the 16th.

How Israel’s bulky pager fooled Hezbollah

An invisible detonator and wafer-thin plastic explosives turned batteries into bombs

Seems the Mossad created false videos, people who claimed to know those batteries, extra websites, a full cover legend for the operation.

I would like to buy the creators of this operation a beer/beverage of their choice!

In french "sinwar" is written "sinouar". And it sounds like "si noir" : which translates as "so black" and "so dark". And thus, behold...

"Sinouar était son âme, il a atterri direct en enfer."

"So dark was his soul, he directly landed in Hell."

Ah, I see the French sense of humor is still in practice. Like calling ISIL by their Arabic acronym "Daesh" which apparently translates to "bad thieves"

There was this French poster on another board who about eight or nine years ago started referring ISIS and ISIL as The WAhhabi Terrorist Syndicate or TWATS for short;):D.

The IDF Signal Corps Memorial and Museum lists indigenous pagers, even encrypted ones. This suggests Israel's long-standing expertise on the matter.

With the reference to the September beeper and walkie talkies attacks in Lebanon, there are unconfirmed reports circulating on SM about similar explosions of beepers and walkie talkies used by the Syrian Arab Army during the clashes with the HTS/ISIS militants in the Aleppo area today.

The 25th SF Division (Tiger Forces) of the SAA is known to use, inter alia, Hytera DMR encrypted radio gear. The 4th Armored Division of the SAA under Maj-Gen Maher al Asad probably uses more heavy-duty military commo gear, hence is less vulnerable to such supply chain attacks like the ones in Lebanon in September.

More information is surfacing on yesterday's walkie-talkie attacks near Aleppo. There are also reports on heavy electronic warfare in the area.

The above photo circulates on sm. It's not sharp, alas. If I'm not mistaken, the walkie-talkie seems to be a cheap Chinese set.
 
This is why you want a dumbphone not a smartphone, something that only does phone-calls and maybe texting but is otherwise too simple to host spyware.
