The reason we don’t see exploding battery attacks more often is not because it’s technically hard, it’s because the erosion of public trust in everyday things isn’t worth it.

edit: after 20 comments, i'm adding a post description here, since most of the commenters so far appear not to be reading the article:
This is about how surprisingly cheap it is (eg $15,000) to buy a complete production line to be able to manufacture batteries with a layer of nearly-undetectable explosives inside of them, which can be triggered by off-the-shelf devices with only their firmware modified.
We don't see exploding batteries more because most militaries are better about securing their supply chain.
The attack hit many civilians. For militaires it might be feasible to secure their chain. For terror attacks, which this was, it would be far more difficult.
Really glad to hear the dead 8 year old girl was Khamas. I’m sure the dozen children that will be shot in the head today will be relieved once they find out they were Khamas as well and deserved to be shot in the head.
Did you hit your head? This comment makes no sense
What part of this comment on an israeli terror attack that mostly killed and harmed civillians confused you little buddy?
... the location? Hezbollah is not Hamas. Lebanon is not Gaza.
Did anyone tell israel hezbollah isn't hamas? I know they have a hard time telling brown people apart.
