Hey now 1996 is not way back! … Or is it? … Am I old?

Also, Israel already assassinated someone via their cell phone way back in 1996.

Does that mean, all of us are wearing a bomb with Lithium battery, most of the time? On the other hand: does such battery really be this hazardous? I thought they catch fire and burn down slowly.

Your pocket bomb doesn’t have any actual bomb in it (unless the Israelis put some there, like the Hezbollah pagers and walkie-talkies.) They can burn fast, but afaik they don’t explode, just like gunpowder doesn’t explode. It burns very fast. On the other hand, they can produce gas and burst the battery pack, which might be considered an explosion, but I’d argue it’s not actually one.
Which isn’t going to make someone who has it happen in their pocket feel any better.
If I have my physics wrong, please correct me, I’m not a lithium bomb expert :)

Only if the zionists added some grams of explosive material like they did with the pagers.

The cylindrical lithium cells can go off like a rocket, but the pouch cells in a phone just burn and are very difficult to extinguish.
Apart from the Galaxy Note 7 which had a design flaw in the battery, it’s incredibly rare for a phone battery to catch fire without physical damage though.

Holy shit I had a Note 7 - and loved it.
