It seems they intercepted international orders before delivery and added explosives that can be remotely triggered.

how do we know motorola wasn't in on it? they haev a long history of cooperation with israeli govt

How do you know they were Motorola pagers?

their state media claimed as such.

"Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television showed what it said were images of Motorola pagers that were being used before the attack. “These pagers were detonated with high-tech by the Israeli enemy,” Hezbollah lawmaker Ibrahim Mousawi told the group’s TV network.

Motorola Solutions did not immediately respond to Bloomberg’s requests for comment."

the bloomberg article is paywalled but this references bloombergs article

Reports were Taiwan. Not Motorola.

Manufacturer : Gold Apollo

Model : Rugged Pager AR-924

Country of Manufacturing: Budapest

Per News articles, if you trust those. 🤷🏻‍♂️

interesting. maybe bloomberg got it wrong.

It was initially reported Motorola from my understanding. But that CEO from Taiwan said he was going to sue Israel for tampering with their devices which seemed like confirmation for me.
