#6 ^No, but

Something else definitive then, or is it a closely held secret? Perhaps the pager satellite was hit by a solar flare?

Israel Update:

Something major is going on and I was habitant to post it as it’s not known exactly.
Today Israeli Shabak (the Israeli FBI) published that they find explosives at Tel Aviv with an activation system that enables Hezbollah to activate it from Lebanon. It was directed at a retired senior figure from the Security Establishment (probably an ex-Chief of Staff). It was suppose to be a part of the revenge of the assasination of their Chief of Staff some months ago.
At the same time there are lengthy meetings of the War Cabinet with Mossad and other branches.
A senior person close to Netanyahu said : “We are mid a major event right now”.
There has been a lot of talk between Israel and the US in which Israel said that we can’t continue the situation with Hezbollah as it is.
Now, 9:15 US East time I am getting a wave of reports from Beirut Lebanon of the beeper communication systems of Hezbollah exploding and many Hezbollah people injured. Something very weird but images are coming of injured Hezbollah people all over Lebanon.
It may be a preliminary step to a major war with Hezbollah. Apparently their communication systems were breached and there are over a thousand injured maybe some killed too we are still receiving new updates and a major panic going in Lebanon. This is likely a Mossad operation. See videos.

Given that the Juice are rumored to control the weather, remotely blowing up a few thousand pagers should be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

#25 Security sources contacted by Clash Report confirm that Israel has planted explosives inside pagers supplied to Hezbollah.

At least 3 types of pagers were planted with bombs:

Motorola LX2
Teletrim
Gold Apollo Rugged Pager AR924

Mossad planted a quantity of highly explosive PETN material on the pagers’ battery and detonated it by raising the temperature of the battery enough to detonate it, Sky News Arabia confirms.

Mossad was able to access Hezbollah's pagers before they were handed over to them.

That's how they planted them with explosives.

#32 Somewhere outside of Beruit there's a storage building missing a wall, where they stored the pagers to hand out.
(These can't have been made up onesie-twosie, there had to be a batch premade. The smoking hole is the storage facility.)

#35 Times of Israel says 20 gr of PETN placed along the lithium battery,and then 'pinged' them numerous times to heat them up.
Some survivors said the pagers started to get hot, so they set the pager down.
The pagers were handed out recently on order from Nasrallah, who was concerned the IDF could track cell phones.

#39 Mossad did for one big turban a while back by setting up a phone shop in Beirut with the best deals- and- service ever. When the target came in, they sold him a new out of the box phone, then faulted it. He brought it in for service, they planted a boom in it- then:
Mahmoud?
Yeah?
That you Mahmoud?
Yeah hey speak up … can’t hear you
Kaboom!

Memories….

I adore David Deeble. German wife, lives between there and America… I met jim through a Facegroupcircle of lay Dominican monks. He’s the man who juggles plastic grocery store bags, and makes dry, gentle fun of all the things that should be made fun of. G rated.
