This almost reads like science fiction, what an incredible attack from a technical POV. A couple of thoughts:
1. The beepers were compromised and have been for a long time. I don't know how easy it is to exfiltrate data from them if they are receive-only devices. At any rate it shows that Israel is capable of intercepting and manipulating low-tech comms. What's left for Hezbollah to use?
2. The next step is to hack into hospital record systems and get a list of all patients admitted today.

Why would Israel have the ability to wipe out a good chunk of Hezbollah for years and just sat on it until now?
They are claiming 2750 injuries:
