500 pager bombs in Lebanon? How was location tracked?

There have been explosions in pagers in lebanon, one of Israel's biggest enemies. At least 10 people have died in this, including the son of a Lebanese MP. More than 3000 people have been injured in the attack. Among the injured are Lebanon's ambassador to iran and a Lebanese mp who has lost one eye. Apart from this, those Hezbollah fighters of lebanon, who keep fighting against israel, have also been seriously injured in this attack.

So has Mossad really carried out these blasts? What kind of technology has Mossad used that it has even hacked Lebanon's pagers and what is this pager, through which such a big blast has been carried out? Let's know-

What is a pager?

You must remember the movie pushpa starring Allu Arjun. There is a scene in it when pushpa goes to Sheenu's house and makes a deal to sell sandalwood. During this, he calls Murugan, the biggest buyer of sandalwood, from Sheenu's mobile and says that he is a syndicate member and now he will not sell goods to Sheenu, he will come directly to chennai and talk to Murugan. During this conversation, pushpa says that write down the number of my pager...8384... This is the same pager that was used before the advent of mobile phones. Only messages were sent and received through it. All messages were transmitted using radio signals, but when the mobile came, not only did we start talking but messages also started coming and going through it. Now there are apps from all over the world to send messages, from whatsapp to Telegram and Messenger to Instagram. Still, people in lebanon and syria used pagers till now, so it is a bit surprising to know this.
