Israel is devious!

Here's an interesting article on Israeli special forces.

Just think how easy it would be to do this to Americans, cell phones, pagers, both public service radios and private sector radios, computers, TV’s

Shins could have bombs in every American ho

That would be a large undertaking. Israel intercepted the pagers and put h.e. in them. Probably the same process for the handi-talkies.
Of course,with all that slave labor in China.....

Whsts to stop China from doing this in all the products made in China???

In this report from the BBC, the company licenced to make the pagers was incorporated in 2022 in Hungary. The Hungarian govt says they have no manufacturing facilities there.

The Taiwan company that licensed the manufacturing to the Hungarian company says the money transfers were "very strange".
Also, I read somewhere else that the icom radios had been discontinued and were likely counterfeit. A picture is starting to emerge that boggles my mind when I think about how complex this operation is!
Edit to add:
1. First you convince the enemy that cellphones are bad, prompting them to move to pagers...not too difficult.
2. Get them to buy your pagers... Ok, there's probably not a lot of pagers being made today.
3. Get them to buy your counterfeit handi talkies. How in the heck do you pull that off? Icom, Kenwood, Yaesu, baofang, xeigu and maybe more make hts. Maybe have one of your operatives in charge of their procurement department?
4. Setting off the pagers seems simple, but the hts? Maybe a special dtmf tone? That would have to be extremely close range given the antennas on the radios. Now that I think about it, a powerful transmitter at a decent elevation could get a pretty fair distance. I tend to think about our wide open spaces here but these countries are small. With 50 watts and a co-linear antenna I can easily hit repeaters 70 miles from my base station.

TOTD: So is the TSA going to ban smartphones, pagers, laptops, notebooks, and smart watches now? Anything with a battery and electronics? Especially after the pager attack in Lebanon? How about supply chain security? Companies that sell this stuff, will have to prove that their electronics are indeed 'safe'. Especially since they farm out the construction of every part of their device, throughout the world.

No, seriously, if I bought a new Baofeng, how do I know Israel won’t blow my head off?

muslims hate dogs, dogs can detect explosives by scent, hating dogs leads to getting your balls blown off.

These attacks were well targeted. I'm assuming your post was tongue in cheek, but if was serious there's nothing to worry about

Semi- tongue-in-cheek. I don’t expect Israel to blow me up. But, now that the word’s out, will China place explosives in Baofengs just in case? I put the same on a Reddit GMRS sub (yes, being a smart-alek) and someone responded wondering if preppers would need to be careful now that it’s known what the Mossad did there.
