Israel carried out its operation against Hezbollah on Tuesday by hiding explosive material within a new batch of Taiwanese-made pagers imported into Lebanon, according to American and other officials briefed on the operation.
The pagers, which Hezbollah had ordered from Gold Apollo in Taiwan, had been tampered with before they reached Lebanon, according to some of the officials. Most were the company’s AP924 model, though three other Gold Apollo models were also included in the shipment.
The explosive material, as little as one to two ounces, was implanted next to the battery in each pager, two of the officials said. A switch was also embedded that could be triggered remotely to detonate the explosives.
I appreciate your explanation. Thank you. The point was, I’d have liked to see a comment like that from the start instead of the snarkiness. I tend to get irritated when people just insult each other going “nuh-uh” without any substance. Nobody learns shit that way. If somebody is wrong, just correct them.
I brought up emanations in my first reply…
I even couched it with a “might be” because I’m aware there’s lots I don’t know.
It wasn’t that you may be wrong. It was your overconfidence and hyper-fixation on one type of security.
with all respect, i think if you reread the original comment you might find it reads in a less vindictive tone than you originally read it in. text can be notoriously bad at conveying the difference between a generalized chuckle and a targeted insult, especially when the reader has experience or passion in the topic.
