    I wonder how they did it. Was the firmware hacked to make the batteries ignite or were separate explosives implanted in each pager?

      Almost certainly it was explosives. Mossad very likely designed a functioning pager that contains explosives but looks identical to the original pagers and this is effectively a supply chain attack.
