Obvious #1 Question - did Mossad manage to feed Hezbollah a huge number of weaponized pagers - or are there pagers which could be rooted in such a way that the stock hardware can "detonate"?

For standard pager I can only imagine perhaps some way to short the battery, but that sounds unlikely even as I write it.
