^Mission:Impossible level shit

No doubt Mossad have managed to get into Hezbollah's supply chain and plant explosives in the pagers and / or batteries.

James Bond had an exploding Parker pen in the film GoldenEye. MythBusters demonstrated that the idea was viable and actually worked pretty well.

It's probably good that Hezbollah Babesation isn't a thing. An exploding Lovense Lush wouldn't make for pleasant viewing.

Ah but good old (or young) Q did away with that in Skyfall....and then issued Bond with an exploding watch in Spectre.

Strange people these new age Quartermasters. Can't stick with a bloody decision

lets hope that it was explosive implanted in the pagers and devices because if a state actor or terroist group can turn pagers into mini bombs then could be a serious threat

Saw somewhere that the NHS could have about about 130,000 pagers in operation and god knows how many other places have them

The EU's automated registry for short-stay travellers that was expected to come into force on 10th November.

I thought the Space X thing was incredible to watch what a game changer that is for space travel, how the hell was it acheived? It is probably a good thing too when you consider what happens to boosters in the atmosphere once separation takes place (I think most burn up & damage the lower atmosphere when re -entering, but I can't be sure) & how expensive they are to make - so anything to lessen the damage done to the lower atmosphere & costs of designing rockets has to be a good thing too. I think it also changes how we design rockets for future travel too.
