Palestinian police said Ayash [The Engineer] was killed north of Gaza City when he answered a call on a cell phone rigged with two ounces of explosives.
Israeli sources said the phone had been secretly traded for Ayash's real phone -- and the explosion was triggered by remote control once it was determined he was on the line.
This is misleading. The Engineer was known to be surrounded by cellphones all the time. Many of his closer supporters would take calls for him on their phones and hand the phone over for him to talk on. This is why the ploy worked. No real way to notice that his "regular" phone was exchanged for a new shiny one with a bulging battery pack or somesuch.

No brand name given, however, another source writes that Mot runs the IL cel net. So use that neat audio-vox wire on MicroTAC Elites only with paid-up Shin Bet dues, absent TS-immunization.
