    If those pagers had explosives, I wonder if the explosives were put there as a sabotage or for “destroy if found” functionality

      Perhaps the latter? My first thought is still that the pagers intended use was for triggering explosives, and they were simply triggered early by the other side.

        You would not put it inside the pager if you want to use it as a trigger. You would also not ready-make thousands of those and let thousands of people carry them around.
