These were one-way pagers that, given the scale, were probably used to disperse global messages to footsoldiers or the level right above. Like: "come if for a briefing to the usual spot". That's information that Israel can already intercept

Since they compromised the supply chain to plant explosives, they could have also put other tracking equipment in. Its possible though that it would be too hard to conceal an outgoing signal from testing.

We probably will never know the exact details, but it just seems like a lack of creativity to me. Seems more like a military attack than a cyber ops style thing.

Israel might have gotten word that one of the pagers got flagged at an airport X-ray or something. If you wait long enough it will eventually get figured out.
