How did Mossad carry out the attack?

According to the New York Times, Israel installed explosives in these pagers as part of a Mossad intelligence operation against Hezbollah. Hezbollah ordered about 3,000 pagers from a Taiwanese company called Gold Apollo. But the pagers were tampered with before they arrived in Lebanon. The pagers were sent from Taiwan to Lebanon between April and May this year. It seems that the plot for this attack was carried out several months ago.

According to U.S. officials, the pagers were AP924 models from a Taiwanese company. Each of the pagers shipped from Taiwan to Lebanon was loaded with one to two ounces of explosives placed next to the batteries installed in the pagers.
According to reports, a message was received on the pagers at 3:30 pm in Lebanon. The message activated the explosives installed in the pagers.

Allegedly, a beeping sound was heard for a few seconds before the pager exploded. According to sources, Mossad actually injected a small plate inside the pager that contained explosives. This explosive would be difficult to detect with any equipment or scanner.
