Both the pagers and the walkie-talkies were sabotaged - and sold to 
Hezbollah - some time ago. Quite why Israel didn't blow up both sets of 
gear at the same time escapes me. Most likely it was two different 
operations, having a common inspiration and separate implementations.

My guess is the people who set up the walkie-talkie operation were 
surprised when the pagers were blown up and blew up their units as soon 
as possible afterwards, before their gear could get run through X-ray 
imagers.
