they maybe used it to get entry into hezbollah supply chain, and then for monitoring aftermath

and yeah this is a blatant lie:

In a recent interview, the former head of the Israeli Mossad, Yossi Cohen, revealed that Israel has similar “booby-trapped and spy-manipulated equipment” in “all the countries you can imagine”.

an attack that was a combination of supply chain infiltration, psyops (convincing hezbollah to ditch phones), surveillance (lending credence to the former), mass tampering, that got planned for a decade, took well over a half year to execute, and now will be useless because people know about it, and will try to mitigate (by looking inside), used as an one-shot chance against strategic adversary, but yeah there are thousands of phones with bombs in moldova, dude trust me

this is propaganda fluff for israeli nationalists

Maybe they mean backdoors in CPUs (most non-Chinese CPUs are designed partly in Israel; they have a lot of semiconductor engineers there), or other rumoured capacities (such as the alleged backdoor in airport bomb scanners that returns a false negative if the item being scanned contains a specific pattern).
