Version: Israel used a technique called “fake traffic” that overloaded Hezbollah's servers, causing thousands of pagers to overload and explode.

An Israeli operation to blow up thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah has drawn the interest of cybersecurity experts. They claim that the explosions were the result of preparation using hardware and software in the devices. In their opinion, the detonation occurred after receiving a signal that activated the explosive device.

Experts agree that the explosives were hidden in the batteries and were caused by the batteries overheating on a specific command. The Israelis used known methods to overheat those who initiated the explosions. The operation showed the vulnerability of even simple devices to modern intelligence services.

Following the attacks, Israel began killing Hezbollah leaders, causing serious casualties among the militants. Disorganization in the ranks forced them to abandon pagers and switch to modern devices. This transition allows Israel to monitor their activities despite technological upgrades.
