 Has anyone heard that iPhones are now also exploding in Lebanon or that the Mossad is triggering an explosion? I'm interested in the technical aspect. Is the operating system decisive, or can the Mossad remotely control certain chips independently of the smartphone's operating system? 
 They just planted explosives inside pagers and walkie-talkies, which were later purchased by Hezbollah. The effectiveness of such attacks is questionable; who the hell uses pagers and walkie-talkies? And in general, no one carries gadgets they got from work due to the risk of being monitored by their boss. But of course, it looks impressive to the press, and Lebanon is promoting this narrative to present itself as a victim.

In reality, most of this stuff either exploded in warehouses or didn’t explode at all. 
 So if I understand this correctly, Lebanon was flooded with "tweaked" pagers, walkietalkies, smartphones and it is not fundamentally the case that the Mossad is able to trigger an explosion of the batteries with certain frequencies. Let's see what other information leaks out in the coming days and weeks.
