Pagers, even with a cheap LiPo battery that fails, do not explode.
Somebody built hundreds, maybe thousands, of intentionally booby-trapped
pagers and then managed to distribute them to a large group of targeted
individuals.

   Targets can be expected to cross security boundaries so these pagers
had to look like normal pagers under X-ray, and had to not "smell" like
explosives.  Putting aside, for sake of discussion, the horror of the
device itself and the evil necessary to conceive and deploy it, one has
to on some level, admire the skill required to manage it.

It's assumed that the Israelis booby-trapped the batch of pagers that
were bought by Hezbollah. Fiendishly clever.

highly rigorous methodology as to how they were distributed.

 
I understand that Hezbollah bought the pagers for their own use for
secure communications, so Hezbollah people mostly got them.
 
Collateral damage is to some extent inevitable in war, but the
Israelis are not terrorists. Hamas and Hezbollah are.

US war mongering, and now even the demonrats manipulating the media
to get people to kill the aspiring president of the opposite party,
all to suck the ever poorer US taxpayer to pay for their ever more losses
making war industry...
US at war with itself and making wars in the rest of the world.
Censoring the media, tiktop, RT, others, to just keep their war criminals in control...

Brain dead evil country.
I liked Reagan, demorats had a shot at him too..
Trump could make peace and avoid WW3, should nominate Elon Musk
as presidential candy .. candidate..
byethen and chameon harry WANT WW3, israhell just a pawn in their game play.

What will be left after all the nuking will be China and Russia
at least their nukes work.
Communism may well be a much better system, at least it is for the people
not for the profit of some idiots only 
That is also what you ysee in nature, Darwinism has a story to tell
and lessons to learn.
And there is the intergalactic 'kwantuum if you will' connection of it all
will it allow confused species to persist?

One would think now that we learned so much about RNA and DNA and how it works that
