    For smartphones they actually could, they could tie the lipo pack serial number to the imei and work everything out from there.

    Then make sure it’s been unlocked via biometrics within a second or so.

    It’s very rare that someone else holds a phone to be unlocked for you, though it does happen, still the closest to a targeted kill.

      They were using pagers and walkie talkies to evade the cellphone tracking that the Israelis were already doing.

      They wouldn’t have taken the cell phones.

      But this only works if you know the identity of every member of the organization, which is impossible, again making this a terror campaign and not a targeted attack. And you have to detonate them all at once or people will throw away the devices. You can’t wait for the 100,00 people who belong to the organization to have just unlocked their devices all at once.

        No, but you can mark which pager numbers are in combatant possession and which ones are with civvies.

        Wtf? You’re killing everybody, you’re killing the most influential leaders you know about.

        This was stupid, and will make Israel’s life harder but Bibi is too narcissistic to accept that.

        This is also Mossad trying to wipe off O7 attacks by showering in blood, which is just stupid.

        Nothing about this makes sense as an adult.

      You would have to guarantee those phones would eventually end up in the right person’s hands.

      Otherwise if you sabotage 100 phones and only 30 go to your targets, even if you only detonate those 30 there are now 70 phones out there randomly floating around with enough explosives to kill some random person.

        Yes, but as I said, since English isn’t something you’re comfortable reading, you can do it only on biometric lock since that is the most likely assurance you have the right target.

        And yes, but if you’re unconscious or restrained, I don’t think collateral damage is your major concern.

          since English isn’t something you’re comfortable reading

          I’m having a hard time figuring out what they said that merited this level of hostility. They weren’t even arguing with you!?
