Getting him to read a book on Jackanory would be entertaining though.

Particularly so if it was a pop-up book.

I am announcing my international retirement due to never being picked by a succession of shortsighted managers.

Apparently this is how it was done. Intercepting the pagers on their way to Hezbollah military, planted small explosives and linked the pagers together via some coding and BOOM!

 

Amazon have got a lot to answer for. 

Info slowly coming to light here 

the pagers are likely a Taiwanese product which was made under licence in Hungary.  The company in Hungary seems to be questionable as it doesn’t seem to have proper contact details/offices. It was incorporated in 2022. 
 

Some reports saying that these pagers where intended to be exploded when a large scale conflict began between Israel and Hezbollah but that there were indications that some suspicions had surfaced within the organisation and with that information, Israel went ahead with the operation yesterday whilst it was still feasible to do so. 
 

If true, is it actually possible that this Hungarian company was created by Israeli intelligence and that this was pre planned years in advance in the event that Hezbollah and Israel came to full on war?

First the pagers, now the walkie talkies.  I'd stay well away from the homing pigeons.

If that goes ahead I can't seem them getting anywhere near the level of public support that they did in the last series of actions.

Absolute genius whoever came up with that idea of an attack…

 

The shipment, however, was allegedly intercepted by Israeli spy agency Mossad five months ago and rigged with pentaerythritol tetranitrate, a highly explosive material, sources told Sky News Arabia, according to a translation from Israeli media.
