I meant it more like, why blow up the pagers you spent all this effort to compromise. I would have thought that having access to those devices would be worth more covertly.
I suppose its possible the only thing they could manage to sneak into the devices was explosives though, since you have to take the board apart to find it. Its likely it looked like a board component too.
These were one-way pagers that, given the scale, were probably used to disperse global messages to footsoldiers or the level right above. Like: “come if for a briefing to the usual spot”. That’s information that Israel can already intercept
In which world getting thousands of Hezbolla operatives unwittingly keeping a bomb in their pocket would not be a good use of resources for Israel?
Because it changes nothing in the long run. So what exactly was so imminent that this had to happen?
What was so imminent that Hezbollah had to fire that rocket barrage some days ago?
You don’t seem to understand the nature of this conflict

Hezbollah has been saying for a while it ‘might’ escalate its actions against Israel. Now… that does not seem as likely.
