    I really don’t get it. Other than the “WAOW” factor, this certainly can’t have been a good use of resources for Israel.

      They already believed their communications were being intercepted so switched to another method.

      That method then literally blew up in their pockets.

          Consider it backwards: Israel sees this attack happening so valuable, that they were willing to forego using the pagers for spying.
