Yeah, that's what I read too. It's a smart way to force the weaponized pagers into the hands of your enemies.

Also sort of shows the attack wasn't too sophisticated. Mossad might not even have compromised the cell phones, they just fed bad intelligence to whoever and they had a likely supplier already compromised.

In all - it doesn't look too good for any intelligence personnel in Hezbollah.
