OLD AND BUSTED: Exploding Cigars.
The New Hotness? Hundreds of Hezbollah members reportedly injured by exploding pagers.
No word yet on who could have done this:
UPDATE (FROM GLENN): This is great since it neutralizes a lot of key personnel while wrecking a “secure” communications network, at a crucial moment. It should also worry Raytheon, et al. The Biden Administration is trying to pressure Israel by stopping arms flows, but this hack did something that no million-dollar missile can do. As the war in Ukraine is demonstrating, there are a lot of capable low-budget alternatives to expensive missiles nowadays, and encouraging customers to come up with them is bad salesmanship.
And note the lack of collateral damage, as shown in this video:
