00:00So, you know, it's somewhat surprising that Hezbollah would rely on pagers, knowing that
00:05Israel has a history going back decades of being able to detonate electronic devices.
00:11Ironically, there were reports in the media not that long ago that Hezbollah essentially
00:16broadcast to the world that they were downgrading from cell phones to pagers in order to prevent
00:22Israeli intelligence from tracking people using the GPS capabilities.
00:28Why they would broadcast something like that to the world, I cannot tell you.
00:34Electronic devices such as cell phones and pagers are typically not manufactured in Lebanon
00:39or Syria or Iran.
00:40They're getting these products, Hezbollah is getting these products from overseas manufacturers.
00:47And it is likely that Western entities have the ability to influence the supply chain,
00:56to put it mildly.
00:57If this was Israel, which presumably it was, it should not be surprising that they have
01:02the capability to carry something like this out.
01:05The bigger question would be how did they manage to booby trap all of these pagers.
