    Honestly, this exploding pagers story has to be one of the craziest things that happened IRL. If you put this in a movie I would say it jumped the shark at that point.

        Honestly it’s so fascinating if you can step aside how heinous an act it is. However many “bad guys” they wanted to kill I don’t think the collateral damage is acceptable.

        Like I want to know the details of how they breached the supply chain, how they knew who would have any given pager, how they switched up to walkie talkies.

        For all the evil that mossad commit you can’t deny they’ve got skills, but I guess with unlimited money and a warped ideology anything is possible.

          Supposedly Mossad just built up factories also building non-exploding devices, and just included the extras on specific orders - so I guess they checked for each order if the guy ordering had “Hesbollah head of sourcing” in his linkedin profile, or something like that.

        Can you believe your comment was how I found out that happened? I thought it was just a joke at first, like something so absurd that could only happen in a comedy movie.
