*** Those complaining that I didn't explain HOW a pager can blow up, listen to the end of the video. I clearly stated "Rigged with an explosive". If you program a pager with multiple cap codes, one ignites an explosive either inside or a case made of a stable plastic explosive, THAT is how.
@Paul Could it be possible to transmit a small code ( a kind of loop program) which could cause pager electronics to continuously heat up to the point that the battery explodes
If this is done at a manufacturing level than none of our devices are safe and they have just exposed that they can do this to all of us if they so choose.
From NYT: 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.
Plausible but in this age of high visibility logistics, even an item is missing for an hour out of sight could be suspicious. Being a sensitive cargo, it is highly unlikely that the pagers were rigged after the assembly. My guess is, MOSSAD operative must be running a factory in Taiwan and they must have already rigged the pagers with some kind of explosives so when the time came they sent a code to explode. It must be a timed event because it was during day time and they were all awake... It really amuses me MOSSAD can do things when we least expected and unimaginable...

There had to have been small explosives planted in the devices that would only detonate upon receiving a specific number. Guess this is going to make people think twice about electric cars whose batteries are already sufficiently explosive.
Not to blow your mind or anything, but electric cars don't use special explosive batteries. They use lithium batteries, the same kind that powers the device you used to write this comment.
They must have been rigged with explosives. I highly doubt that battery overheating is responsible because from the footage, it looked as if they exploded instantly.
The battery might have overheated on command, but that would just be an ignition device to something packing more punch. Maybe the battery wasn't just a battery. I mean it would have to deliver 1.5V to the device for a month like a normal AA cell or it would get changed out before the plan could happen, but this may have been done with something much more energy dense than a typical alkaline AA cell, leaving room in the can for something that goes boom. This would be my guess: a high density cell was induced to fail, igniting the remainder of the "battery" which was a mix of explosives and shrapnel. Chances are the means of inducing battery failure was already known, but nobody had thought to use it for more than denial of service before.
And as this video confirmed, most pagers run on one simple AA battery. I don't think an explosion from that is even possible. But that leaves one really big question. How was Israel able to get THOUSANDS of these rigged devices into the hands of their Hesbollah targets? That aspect alone makes this a very complex and well orchestrated operation!
From the images online, the injuries weren’t life threatening, however a pager in your pocket or attached to your belt that has a small about of explosives in is going to do some tissue damage, and from the images those in their cars at the time had a couple of the widows blown out and blood on the car seats.
You have to think a little bit. Tech has gotten smaller, and that would leave more room for an explosive charge inside of the device. Expand your mind.

4,000 pagers were distributed to Hezbollah operatives by Iran and 4,000 pagers went off today. Do the maths its not difficult. Hezbollah were emasculated without Israel moving a muscle. Maybe Iran is getting cold feet.

I worked in IT for a leading paging service provider company in 2001. Motorola manufactured these two-way pagers used mostly by Hospital staff. Our COO was killed onboard the plane that crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11 2001. Was Israel to blame? Who will Israel strike next with exploding pagers or passenger planes? Are we all potential targets by Israel to have our personal communication devices explode? Who manufactured the exploding pagers that detonated in Lebanon? Who supplied those pagers to Lebanon? How many civilians were injured or killed? How do you isolate detonation to Hezbollah members pagers only? Why are we seeing injured or killed children being carried off from the crime scenes?
what I am trying to figure out if that is really the case or if they overheated the lithium battery somehow enough to cause them to explode. If the latter is possible then thats scary and means they can target anyone anywhere if they wanted to without any social hacking.
This guy is a complete clown. He doesn't even know what he's talking about. The batteries only overheated, so they could cause the explosives planted in the pager to go off. If you're on telegram, you already know this because the information has been coming out for the last hour that they have found explosives in the pagers. The explosives used is called PETN
As a retired Volunteer Firefighter & fire investigator, that used pagers & have training in explosives; I can tell you that if a small explosives, say like a blasting cap used for dynamite in construction & demolition was wired to the speaker of the pager and instead of the speaker being activated when a radio signal is sent to the pager the explosives intercept the signal & that would cause the explosives to detonate! Without giving away any more technical expertise that could be used by the bad guys.
@@deanhoward4128 can it be that!? Media said some had it to their face. They had to be fast at grabbing that pager to see the message! Makes sense but boy are people fast at getting that device! Poor little girl! She probably was getting it for a parent! It’s just evil thinking of extremes!
@@helenjones568 I wasn't there& don't know who made the I.E D. ( improvised explosive device) I was just using my experience to describe an easy way of making such a device; in times of war & battle, a person or military group can become desperate to destroy the enemy and create bombs & devices that are designed to kill & wound human beings; the problem with such devices is they don't discriminate as to who they kill,unlike a rifle shot that can be precise as to which target or person that is hit; bombs just scatter fragments of bombs & shrapnel caught in the blast & whoever is in the blast zone is hurt or killed; I personally think bombs & explosives are a cowardly way of fighting & defeating the enemy; too many innocent lives can be destroyed. I am not a soldier & this isn't my war, I would like to see Israel as a sovereign state, having been there 42 years ago with my church group; Peace in Israel has been a goal since they became a state in 1947& 48- I hope they can finish this war & rebuild their country, but only their leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu can & will make those decisions; I just pray that no more innocent lives would be lost!

There would have to have been leakage ... into the general population .. Only "fence" is most uninvolved parties would likely have been using phones apart from First responders...
Highly likely that the pagers were preloaded with PETN. This is the explosive often found in modern hand grenades. It is a high-speed explosive easily detonated by the same circuit that powers the vibrator or ringer in the pager. Not a lot of PETN is required. The technology to turn pagers into mini hand grenades is not rocket science but they must be pre-fitted with "extra features". Software to activate the detonation trigger is also required. Obviously, somebody in the supply chain was not really working for Hezbollah or Iran. It appears that these pagers have very successfully delivered a message.
It's been already commented that it seems a new batch of pagers got tampered with at some point in supply chain. The pagers seem to have explosives placed inside them, a battery explotion would look different.
They infiltrated the manufacturing process somehow. And it's likely the purchasers all got it from a single source. Sabotage that single source and then this happens. This is the downside of them being so overly careful and singular. One slip up and the entire well gets poisoned.

Paul, I liked your explanation. I'm sure the young folks really did get benefit out of that. Guys our age, of course, remember that we carried these regularly before cell phones came. ( I'm an old tv news guy so I ALWAYS had one on me in the 80s and 90s). iPhones are nice, but the pagers had the advantages of being compact, light, simple and elegant....
Most likely, by replacing the battery (you saw how easily it pops out, it's _meant_ to be changed by the user every month or two) with one that has a small battery component so the device still works and the rest is rigged to go boom. The battery itself might even be the igniter, if it can be induced to overload. This gets rolled up in a cardboard tube and a label stuck on it so it looks like any other AA cell, so even if the user checks, nothing will seem to be amiss. It's not that hard to make a tiny cell or battery with just as much capacity as a normal AA cell, we just keep making them big because they're cheap and not every device needs the batteries to be tiny.
@@mal2ksc that couldnt be done to many targets all timed to explode at the same time. The way they exploded implies the explosives were introduced at manufacter of the device and detonated by sending a code. That then opens the question to how were they distrubuted to so many, id guess targeted peoples, probably from an organisation like hamas most likely. Id bet mossad were responsible btw..
Now ... when I was in first grade and I wanted to talk to my friend next door ... We used 2 tin cans connected by an acoustic string and we talked all night. That's the only way to keep your first grade's friend's secrets!😆
Probably Used a group call command, but yes somebody has to dial into the "terminal" enter the 7 digit #, and 1-9 digits to trigger the event. Some newer pagers, (Apollo is about the only Mfgr still around) have an alarm clock feature.
I remember this gadget like when I was in elementary school, 35-40 years ago before we had the massive Erickson. I am surprised that this gadget is still around. I remember that the most common one was Motorola. Kinda bring back my childhood memories.
@@josephjohn6515 or the Israeli’s have figured out how to weaponise a lithium battery. If it was done during the manufacturing process. It would mean that an Israeli company bought the manufacturing facility or pager company and weaponised an entire batch of pagers, either with a small directed explosive wired into the hardware or the battery was ‘adjusted’.
No mate it hasn't actually explained anything up than how pagers are sent messages. If you send a message saying exp!ode, it will still just be a message.
@@hearhawHe explain it. They received the message at the same time, all pagers received the message at the same time and that same message will trigger the explosives that someone planted in them ("rigged by explosives")
Replace a part of the pager belt clip or even the cover with a explosive plastic replica. Have a stabilizer in the replica material that keeps it from exploding, but that will gradually dissolve, making the substituted part instable, i e sensitive to vibration and temperature. If so, have to be a very precise material decay mechanism for the stabilizer since they exploded within a rather short time span (not all at once I think). Don't know if feasible, but if it is that would be the simplest solution and I like simple.

I think it was much more advanced than rigging the pager with an explosive. They used the brilliance of frequency. More like a concentrated EMP which was directed on the exact frequency of the receiving pager. Just set the pager to overheat which detonated the Lithium battery
I don't think all of these pages can be rigged with explosives; I believe this has to do with exploding the battery itself by manipulating the chip circuitry.
@@ModelA This is trivial... They likely will have been regualr AA batteries. Even the notorious Liion bateries behave nothing like that ... had to be HX with electronics and dets.
If lithium ion batteries are used, that would provide a source for the fire. Check out the videos of the batteries cooking off like they were Estes rocket motors. I handled several cases where batteries in peoples' pockets suddenly burst into flames, producing burn patterns like shown in the pictures. Gotta admire the organization that came up with the idea, was able to design the device, manufacture the components, get them into the finished product and make sure that they were delivered to the right end users.
Some person or more likely persons place inside the pager housing a malleable explosive like C4 or Semtex connected to a detonator (electric charge generator) set to go off when the pager receives a pre specified numerical code (like a phone number).
there are info by lebanon security, the pager are imported from taiwan company, have been tempered when in shipping put in 1-3gram of RDX include a switch to set to detonated
The cap code allows a group to be easily identified and messaged. This explains why hospitals using the same pagers would not be vulnerable. Presumably they are on a different cap code

Seems like a pretty big oversight not to run your communication tools through a scanner to insure they're not compromised. Apparently, they did indeed have their suspicions.
Israeli TV just discussed this was Mossad operation where they placed 20 grams of explosive inside the battery itself. Anyone else freaked out like I am right now?
You explain how a pager is secure as it can only receive and not transmit and that makes sense, but surely the transmitter (In this case the radio tower receiving your call/message and then transmitting to the pager network) can be traced back to its source if you know the capcode it's transmitting to? I'm too young to have grown up when pagers were still popular but I'm kind of fascinated and want to learn more, if you (Or anyone) knows a good source for learning more about how the pager network operates, I'd love to hear more about it.
Nothing about what actually could make it explode. Unlikely it was normal explosives because there was 2k and some would be going in and out of security at airports and such

@Paul Could it be possible to transmit a small code ( a kind of loop program) which could cause pager electronics to continuously heat up to the point that the battery explodes

I worked in IT for a leading paging service provider company in 2001. Motorola manufactured these two-way pagers used mostly by Hospital staff. Our COO was killed onboard the plane that crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11 2001. Was Israel to blame? Who will Israel strike next with exploding pagers or passenger planes? Are we all potential targets by Israel to have our personal communication devices explode? Who manufactured the exploding pagers that detonated in Lebanon? Who supplied those pagers to Lebanon? How many civilians were injured or killed? How do you isolate detonation to Hezbollah members pagers only? Why are we seeing injured or killed children being carried off from the crime scenes?
Exactly ... First Responders carry pagers too.
Israel gets away with everything, don’t expect condemnation from the ‘civilised’ west.
Still don’t know , how they explode ? Unless some exploding material someone put it inside?
Yes.
what I am trying to figure out if that is really the case or if they overheated the lithium battery somehow enough to cause them to explode. If the latter is possible then thats scary and means they can target anyone anywhere if they wanted to without any social hacking.
over heat the battery, boom
This guy is a complete clown. He doesn't even know what he's talking about. The batteries only overheated, so they could cause the explosives planted in the pager to go off. If you're on telegram, you already know this because the information has been coming out for the last hour that they have found explosives in the pagers.
The explosives used is called PETN
There's two ways I can think of, one as you said or two it has a lithium battery and they modded it to thermal runaway.
this does NOT explain how explosives got into thousands of pagers in Lebonon!
That's not my job.
@@ModelA Exacxtly ... not withing your perview and you didnt speculate as is entirely proper ..Salute Sir ...

As a retired Volunteer Firefighter & fire investigator, that used pagers & have training in explosives; I can tell you that if a small explosives, say like a blasting cap used for dynamite in construction & demolition was wired to the speaker of the pager and instead of the speaker being activated when a radio signal is sent to the pager the explosives intercept the signal & that would cause the explosives to detonate! Without giving away any more technical expertise that could be used by the bad guys.
@@deanhoward4128 can it be that!? Media said some had it to their face. They had to be fast at grabbing that pager to see the message! Makes sense but boy are people fast at getting that device! Poor little girl! She probably was getting it for a parent! It’s just evil thinking of extremes!
@@helenjones568 I wasn't there& don't know who made the I.E D. ( improvised explosive device) I was just using my experience to describe an easy way of making such a device; in times of war & battle, a person or military group can become desperate to destroy the enemy and create bombs & devices that are designed to kill & wound human beings; the problem with such devices is they don't discriminate as to who they kill,unlike a rifle shot that can be precise as to which target or person that is hit; bombs just scatter fragments of bombs & shrapnel caught in the blast & whoever is in the blast zone is hurt or killed; I personally think bombs & explosives are a cowardly way of fighting & defeating the enemy; too many innocent lives can be destroyed. I am not a soldier & this isn't my war, I would like to see Israel as a sovereign state, having been there 42 years ago with my church group; Peace in Israel has been a goal since they became a state in 1947& 48- I hope they can finish this war & rebuild their country, but only their leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu can & will make those decisions; I just pray that no more innocent lives would be lost! As they say in Israel..next year in Jerusalem & SHALOM( PEACE)
I still don't understand how they managed to circulate those tampered pagers to so many people. There were civilians who got injured.
No, a supply shipment for the Hezbollah terrorists was intercepted before delivery.
There would have to have been leakage ... into the general population .. Only "fence" is most uninvolved parties would likely have been using phones apart from First responders...
Highly likely that the pagers were preloaded with PETN. This is the explosive often found in modern hand grenades. It is a high-speed explosive easily detonated by the same circuit that powers the vibrator or ringer in the pager. Not a lot of PETN is required.
The technology to turn pagers into mini hand grenades is not rocket science but they must be pre-fitted with "extra features".
Software to activate the detonation trigger is also required.
Obviously, somebody in the supply chain was not really working for Hezbollah or Iran.
It appears that these pagers have very successfully delivered a message.
Overheard in Beirut this evening.
"Those Iranian dissidents have overdone it this time!!"
I saw one of the car window screens, it looked like it had been hit with ball bearings, like from a cluster munition.
That was a poor explanation. So 2,700 people have the same cap code and pagers that had explosives embedded. ?
exactly

We all already know how a pager works. What you should tell is how a pager battery can explode.
@@khushhalpakistanzindabad4680 the pager battery didn’t explode, whoever bought the pagers put explosives devices in them.
It's been already commented that it seems a new batch of pagers got tampered with at some point in supply chain. The pagers seem to have explosives placed inside them, a battery explotion would look different.

The videos show more destruction than a simple battery fire.

*Pagers are also used in restaurants. Be careful when ordering food. Tell the chef you need food without calling the pager.😂*
thats how pagers work but how it exploded 2700+ pagers at the same moment?
mine hasnt gone off since 1992
Very informative about what a pager is and how it works for anyone born after 1990.
How do you make them explode? That is the main question here.
They infiltrated the manufacturing process somehow. And it's likely the purchasers all got it from a single source. Sabotage that single source and then this happens. This is the downside of them being so overly careful and singular. One slip up and the entire well gets poisoned.

@@PankajTrichur Israel may have been part of supply chain. Or Mossad operatives gained access to manufacturing facility.

@@dd07871nope, it explodes when specific numbers are sent to it .
Paul, I liked your explanation. I'm sure the young folks really did get benefit out of that. Guys our age, of course, remember that we carried these regularly before cell phones came. ( I'm an old tv news guy so I ALWAYS had one on me in the 80s and 90s). iPhones are nice, but the pagers had the advantages of being compact, light, simple and elegant....
How did the explosives get in the pagers??
Most likely, by replacing the battery (you saw how easily it pops out, it's _meant_ to be changed by the user every month or two) with one that has a small battery component so the device still works and the rest is rigged to go boom. The battery itself might even be the igniter, if it can be induced to overload. This gets rolled up in a cardboard tube and a label stuck on it so it looks like any other AA cell, so even if the user checks, nothing will seem to be amiss.
It's not that hard to make a tiny cell or battery with just as much capacity as a normal AA cell, we just keep making them big because they're cheap and not every device needs the batteries to be tiny.
@@mal2ksc that couldnt be done to many targets all timed to explode at the same time. The way they exploded implies the explosives were introduced at manufacter of the device and detonated by sending a code. That then opens the question to how were they distrubuted to so many, id guess targeted peoples, probably from an organisation like hamas most likely. Id bet mossad were responsible btw..
IF terrorists were the ones harmed by this then KUDOS to whomever pulled it off.

well you didnt explain nothing
He did explosions were planted in them
agreed, just surfing the attention wave in favor of dead and injured people
Explained it to those who have a clue...
Probably Used a group call command, but yes somebody has to dial into the "terminal" enter the 7 digit #, and 1-9 digits to trigger the event. Some newer pagers, (Apollo is about the only Mfgr still around) have an alarm clock feature.
I literally didn't understand how it happened till I watched this. He explained it very well.
So does it use the same signal as a phone? Could cellphones be hacked and explode then?
No. But Mossad did take out a terrorist by putting explosive material in a new cellphone and getting someone to give it to him. Was in the 90's.
Hi Paul, thanks for all your model A videos!
Glad you like them!
I remember this gadget like when I was in elementary school, 35-40 years ago before we had the massive Erickson. I am surprised that this gadget is still around. I remember that the most common one was Motorola. Kinda bring back my childhood memories.
"it can explode if you rig it with explosives"
Is it possible that a small plastic explosive was implanted during the manufacturing process?
Someone implanted purposely??
@@josephjohn6515 or the Israeli’s have figured out how to weaponise a lithium battery. If it was done during the manufacturing process. It would mean that an Israeli company bought the manufacturing facility or pager company and weaponised an entire batch of pagers, either with a small directed explosive wired into the hardware or the battery was ‘adjusted’.
@@Jonnyrockin71 That make sense.
So these ones were rigged specially. They said, they got new batch of pagers not long ago.
I believe that is correct
Those pagers has lithium battery That's why the explosion impact seems more than tv remote battery
No mate it hasn't actually explained anything up than how pagers are sent messages. If you send a message saying exp!ode, it will still just be a message.

@@hearhawhe loves 50bucks clickbaits
@@hearhawHe explain it. They received the message at the same time, all pagers received the message at the same time and that same message will trigger the explosives that someone planted in them ("rigged by explosives")

@@patmccarthy5069 he’s an engineer, this is easy stuff for him 💕
Hahaa! yep. Well, I am an electrical engineer as my real job.
Replace a part of the pager belt clip or even the cover with a explosive plastic replica. Have a stabilizer in the replica material that keeps it from exploding, but that will gradually dissolve, making the substituted part instable, i e sensitive to vibration and temperature. If so, have to be a very precise material decay mechanism for the stabilizer since they exploded within a rather short time span (not all at once I think). Don't know if feasible, but if it is that would be the simplest solution and I like simple.

They don't make them anymore
I think it was much more advanced than rigging the pager with an explosive. They used the brilliance of frequency. More like a concentrated EMP which was directed on the exact frequency of the receiving pager. Just set the pager to overheat which detonated the Lithium battery
to explode at 330 after a call
Um No .. just no.
Do you think those pagers were preloaded/rigged with explosives or do you think the batteries were manipulated through comms to exploded?
AAA battery does not explode like that...
Still don't understand. My theory is that the only thing that can explode is the battery.
Or they put a smaller battery and took up the rest of the space with a small charge.
A bit of C4 the size of a marble would do that.
@@death8gaming811 Means all these naughty people had better watch out.
And what made the batteries exploded in one single minute?
want to know what I think? I think that they used a very specific frequency that is able to focus on the battery and cause it to explode
I don't think all of these pages can be rigged with explosives; I believe this has to do with exploding the battery itself by manipulating the chip circuitry.
No. A battery explosion is much slower, and the explosions were fairly large for such a small device.
A battery this small can't kill anyone
@@ModelA putting explosive into that many devices may not be feasible or possible, one source is reporting over 2500 pagers exploded.
@@ModelA -- Yeah it seems like batteries go off more like a road flare, and these videos are more like a quick sudden pop.
@@ModelA This is trivial... They likely will have been regualr AA batteries. Even the notorious Liion bateries behave nothing like that ... had to be HX with electronics and dets.
If lithium ion batteries are used, that would provide a source for the fire. Check out the videos of the batteries cooking off like they were Estes rocket motors. I handled several cases where batteries in peoples' pockets suddenly burst into flames, producing burn patterns like shown in the pictures. Gotta admire the organization that came up with the idea, was able to design the device, manufacture the components, get them into the finished product and make sure that they were delivered to the right end users.
You never explained how a pager cqn explode
Yes I did
Some person or more likely persons place inside the pager housing a malleable explosive like C4 or Semtex connected to a detonator (electric charge generator) set to go off when the pager receives a pre specified numerical code (like a phone number).

Severs them right .
The cap code allows a group to be easily identified and messaged. This explains why hospitals using the same pagers would not be vulnerable. Presumably they are on a different cap code

3. sybersecurity breach

You're eating your words whlie explaining.
You don’t explain what happens after the message is received. Does the recipient have to then get access to a telephone and call the number shown on the pager?
Yes. Or, the sender sends a code that the recipient knows and takes whatever action. Spy stuff
Basically any device with a battery mobile phones electric cars can be caused to explode with the right software

Seems like a pretty big oversight not to run your communication tools through a scanner to insure they're not compromised. Apparently, they did indeed have their suspicions.
Israeli TV just discussed this was Mossad operation where they placed 20 grams of explosive inside the battery itself. Anyone else freaked out like I am right now?
You explain how a pager is secure as it can only receive and not transmit and that makes sense, but surely the transmitter (In this case the radio tower receiving your call/message and then transmitting to the pager network) can be traced back to its source if you know the capcode it's transmitting to?
I'm too young to have grown up when pagers were still popular but I'm kind of fascinated and want to learn more, if you (Or anyone) knows a good source for learning more about how the pager network operates, I'd love to hear more about it.
No. It works exactly the same as broadcast radio. The radio station playing your program has no idea where your radio is receiving it.
Well that was helpful
the pagers that exploded were attached to IED's. Some Robocaller trying to sell extended Warranty for your vehicle basically hit the lottery.
Did it blow up on receipt of a message OR did it blow up when the user pressed a button to read the message ?
