I'm not sure who you think is going to be suffering here.
If the worry is "Don't buy Israeli products" that was probably already kinda a thing in that region. I can't imagine Hezbollah was big buyer of Israeli tech but maybe they have that same kink that anti gay preachers have where they're so against it but behind closed doors...who knows. Besides, if it hurts the Israeli economy...ok? Isn't that a positive?
If you're talking about whomever made the pagers, all available info points to them being the equivalent of TEMU-esque knock offs made in some random shop somewhere, probably either Hungary or Taiwan, and brought into the area recently. Regardless, the bigger deal is: Hezbollah knows who they purchased them from. They're smart enough to realize it's incredibly likely that Mossad found out where they were getting their stuff, either got in the facility itself or just got a hold of the shipment in transit, and tampered with it. If anything, they'll move to something lower tech than go to something less secure like more cheap SE Asian stuff if their concerns are security.
