The pagers were carried specifically by Hezbollah operatives. You can't be both an innocent member of the general public and an operative of a paramilitary org at the same time.

- tptacek 2y agoLet me add some certainty back to it: both Reuters and the NYT are reporting these are pagers specifically procured by Hezbollah, directly from a manufacturer. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/17/world/middleeast/israel-hezbollah-pagers-explosives.html https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/17/world/middleeast/israel-h...
