is 500mAH, which is about a third of an Energizer AA Lithium Battery (1700 mAH).
I wonder if a select few were packed with some C-4, as the energy in the battery is insufficient to do a lot of damage.
The general thinking on this is that the shipments from Taiwan were intercepted, and the devices were packed with small amounts of RDX, HMX, PETN, or other modern explosive compound, along with a switch that could be activated ONLY by a specific coded signal....and then were returned to the supply line and ultimately delivered to the people who placed the order. There must have been a "DELAY IN SHIPMENT" at some point, while the devices were turned into weapons.
It doesn't take much PETN or C4 or RDX to injure or kill someone if the charge is placed ON the body...like a pager or walkie-talkie. All it needs is about 0.5 to 1.0 oz of the stuff detonated close to their bodies and it will do significant damage to that person.
My guess, which seems to be backed up with recent news - Somebody bought a bunch of Motorola Pagers, then modified them. They added a high explosive (oxidizer is part of the explosive propellent) to the pager, such that it would behave normally. The explosive would go off when a "special" message was sent, otherwise behave normally.
These pagers were then secretly distributed to Hezbollah and were then given to their members. A generic message preceded the "special message" by a few seconds, so that the Hezbollah member would take the pager out and look at it.
This action was replicated today, using hand-held radios (which could likely contain a higher mass of high explosives). Seems pretty targeted to me, and the targeting of the enemy (vs launching random missiles into Israel) seems like a good use of technology.

Exactly. I'd like to know how they pulled this off on such a great scale. Something isn't adding up.
