Your phone likely has a lithium ion battery. that battery can explode, as we saw with the Galaxy Note 7 a while back, but it has a different type of explosion. While the video here seems to be a quick pop that's powerful enough to knock someone down, a lithium ion battery will be more like a sustained flamethrower grenade.
Because hospitals have thick walls and equipment and shielding all over, you cant get a phone signal. Or rather, there are just a few spots where you can get inconsistent half-bar reception and the nurses know where. So they all have pagers.
Tunnelling soldiers probably encountered the same issue (or its a tracing thing as compared to phones)
So I'm guessing that isreal killed more than a few doctors with this too.
And it seems retarded, you had access to all their comms and you just blow it up rather than keep listening in? Or saving that bomb for a necessary moment? Idiots, unless they're going in heavy right now. Or its fake and gay
"We let an attack happen on our land, so we now have permission to violate the Geneva Convention and any innocents that get pager and/or bone shrapnel puncturing their lungs deserves it, I guess."
And it seems retarded, you had access to all their comms and you just blow it up
That's because the headline is bullshit. They did a supply chain attack, put physical explosives in the pagers, and had them rigged to exploded when they received a specific message.
Once they had physical access they could have done a more sophisticated HW attack that would have given them the ability to intercept but that's more complex.
Or you could stuff it with explosive, send "B00M" to that phone number, and blow their nuts off. Also it's great psychological warfare for making them paranoid of absolutely everything.
Because a pager is small, so you can't hide a very big grenade inside it. It might also have been a deliberate decision since you're just trying to kill the guy with the pager and not the entire room.
and why were they targeting a random cashier?
They weren't, the cashier ran off. It was the customer who dropped to the floor after the pager exploded on his waist.

I was wondering why they still made pagers.
doctors and hospital workers all still use them

Or people driving, which then leads to an out of control car rolling through a crowd.

that one the muslims are used to though.

How much damage does a flamethrower grenade do?
depends on how much flammen it werfed
I walked right into that one, didn't I?
Ahaha, the look of utter disgust on that guy's face is hilarious.
That was actually my first question.
Why wasn't it more powerful? and why were they targeting a random cashier? I still think this was just a battery exploding randomly.

it's being reported on in the news. there's a body count.

I've read that since and seen more videos.
