Apparently, it wasnt even that. It was...more complex.
Basically, they scared Hezbollah into giving up their Iphones by proving they had hacked them, and heard that they were going to take time to switch over to pagers and radios over the next several months. In that time, Israel had set up a legitimate company selling legitimate pagers and radios to get street cred, but there was nothing officially connecting it to Israel. Then they used their own people within Hezbollah to get them to take an order from this company, and when the contract was approve that order was sabotaged. And the sabotage was a small amount of heat-activated explosives, and when the order came down they would hack the pagers and cause the batteries to overload and therefore heat up (which would also activate the explosive) .
Quite frankly, if this was a James Bond movie, we would say it is too complex to ever work. But sometimes reality is really stranger than fiction (like when Audie Murphy had to leave out parts of his military career from his biographical movie because people didnt believe them).
because usually people in movies have limited resources to make the story more interesting. give me the entire western world as an ethical and religious friend in baby-eating as well as trillions in make-believe money and i can also pull impossible movie stunts.
I mean, I didn't think they'd pull that off. Like I said before, what are the chances that nobody disassembles their phone or radio just to be careful, or doing a repair, or even causes one to accidentally detonate?
But yeah, none of them decided to try and tear apart these radios, either to inspect them, or repair them. That's just lazy.
Israel's attack was much more believable. Which is why he's fucking amazing.
If you build the explosive into the battery assembly, no one is disassembling it because no one is going to cut open a lithium cell.
Would it be built into the battery, or into the phone?
I said "battery assembly" for a reason. Take the real battery, put the charge on the one side, add a layer of packaging to make that entire unit look like a slightly larger battery.
Now it's in the device, but the odds of someone disassembling "the battery" are miniscule. They might remove it and replace it with a legitimate battery during regular use, but they're not going to dissect the tampered one.
