New level of warfare just remotely detonated in Lebanon/Syria

[FlickerOfLight]

I wonder if those particular pagers had special batteries that had been planted on those specific targets. It Kind of sounds like a spook hit; something the CIA, or other agencies like it, would do.

Either way, now we have Weaponized lithium. 

Which begs the question. Can the lithium in our rechargeable equipment be detonated like this?

Who wants to go out and buy more rechargeable lithium merch now? 

You're own car can become a bomb.
Not to mention everything else that's lithium that we now own.

Maybe that's another reason for the push on rechargeable lithium batteries.

Now, I may be way off here. But, this makes one wonder.

Yes.

This is not the first time I've heard of exploding lithium batteries, although it usually happens when they are charging. I know of one case where a guy left a vape device with li-ion batteries in it on his nightstand to charge overnight, but it exploded and blew his head off as he slept.

I also had a li-ion camera battery that swelled up, preparatory to exploding, but I caught it and tossed it out.

I use li-ion batteries in my weapons devices, like lasers and flashlights, but only two are left alive now, both flashlights. All of the lasers have, um, broken.

This is a neat idea, but I gotta wonder how it is that they got the compromised devices only to Hezbollah and Hezbollah related individuals, like the Iranian intel guy in the embassy. It's a great big "screw with us some more, who'tcha?" message to Hezbollah and peripherally, Iran.

But, like I said, it usually happens when the batteries are charging - so I also gotta wonder how they got them to overload without a charger on 'em. I know of cell phone batteries overloading off-charger before, and know of them bursting into flames in folks' pockets, but not exploding.

Curious minds want to know!

This is game changing.
