You obviously don't know how one-way pagers work.

You can't easily track a device that doesn't communicate outwardly.

Please track the location of my ceiling fan, it receives wireless transmissions from a remote and beeps in response. Kind of like a pager.

I don't need your location.

Pager transmissions contain a sender and a receiver. That's all the information you need. If a known Hisbollah sender sends to a receiver, that receiver obviously has some ties to Hisbollah.

These are literally one-way receivers. It's like how I can't track your fm radio receiver

Pager transmissions contain a sender and a receiver.

I agree. Although in this case the receiver does that and only that. No delivery confirmation or anything. Good luck tracking its location.

That's all the information you need

How so? How do you track said dumb pager?

If a known Hisbollah sender sends to a receiver, that receiver obviously has some ties to Hisbollah.

This is a reasonable point. But that doesn't mean you can pinpoint the recipients location.
