I came across an interesting Reuters report from July 9, 2024, titled: How Hezbollah used pagers and couriers to counter Israel’s high tech surveillance (headline has shifted over last few weeks). I quote from the article:
Cell phones, which can be used to track a user’s location, have been banned from the battlefield in favour of more old-fashioned communication means, including pagers and couriers who deliver verbal messages in person, two of the sources said.
Sounds like checkmate to me. But the article left out one important detail: Where did Iran-Hezbollah get the pagers? Well, no way such a minor detail could be too important.
