10-year-old Fatima Jaafar Abdullah was killed in pager explosions in Lebanon. Israel murders another kid again.

Taking control of a shipping container, opening all of pagers and adding some explosives is obvious and not too hard for people with that power. Replacing all the chips, or hacking their firmware, is different, and is what I’m asking about. Most bombs that use a phone as the trigger use the speaker for example. But in these pagers that would have already set off loads.
