At least eight people were killed and more than 2,700 injured, many of them Lebanon-based Hezbollah fighters, when the handheld pagers they use to communicate exploded, Lebanon's health minister said Tuesday.

Firass Abiad said the blasts took place in several suburbs of Beirut, according to Lebanon's National News Agency. Abiad said in a news conference that many of the victims had injuries to their faces, hands and stomachs.

He said one of those killed was an 8-year-old girl.

The direct cause of the explosions was not immediately clear, though Hezbollah quickly blamed Israel for what it called its "sinful aggression." It said it Israel would get "its fair punishment."

A Hezbollah official told the Reuters news agency that the detonation of the pagers was the "biggest security breach" the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of war with Israel.

Mojtaba Amani, Iran's ambassador in Lebanon, was also injured in the incident, though not seriously, according to Iran's semi-official Mehr News Agency. Hezbollah is materially and financially backed by Iran.

There was no immediate comment from Israel's Defense Forces.

The incident comes just hours after Israel's security cabinet released a statement vowing to return residents of Israel's northern areas to their homes. Hezbollah, long Israel's enemy, has repeatedly fired missiles at Israeli territory since Hamas' Oct. 7 attacks, causing many residents to flee south.

A pager is a small electronic device that can be worn or fit in a pocket that beeps or vibrates when someone is trying to contact you. It displays the phone number or sometimes a short message. Pagers can usually only receive information, not transmit it, making their location hard to track.

Israel has for months warned that it could launch a military operation to drive Hezbollah away from its border.


OK, seems like Israel did this, but how?

I remember several cases where Israelis inserted explosives into cellphones and even payphones so they could be blown up on demand remotely, and killed Palestinian terrorists that way.

The Israelis are badass.

It’s funny, I put up a thread here maybe 8 or so years ago calling the government gangster. The few remaining Democrat supporters on Pat.net at that time incorrectly objected to my description.

And here Israel goes and pulls one of the most gangster moves of all time, on par with Heisenberg coordinating a attack killing 10 men in different prisons simultaneously just so he didn’t have to pay off their families for their continued silence.

Right now in Lebanon, not just most Marionites but also many Sunni Muslims are laughing their asses off, too.

They hate the Shi'a punks and like to see them get their comeuppance.

It's a much better strategy that risking attacking urban areas where Hezbollah has their depots and bunkers on purpose.

New reports shed light on yesterday’s attack:

- Israel allegedly concealed explosive material within a new batch of Taiwanese-made pagers imported into Lebanon.

- Each pager had one to two ounces of explosive material hidden next to the battery, along with a switch to detonate the explosives.

- Reuters reports that Israel tampered with 5,000 devices, resulting in 3,000 explosions.

- The tampering occurred before the devices reached Hezbollah.

- These booby-trapped pagers had recently been distributed to Hezbollah operatives.

- The plan was initially intended for use only in the event of total war with Hezbollah, but Israel was forced to deploy it sooner due to Hezbollah's suspicions. The urgency was driven by the need to act before Hezbollah discovered the sabotage.

- The pagers were designed to explode shortly after being activated, increasing the likelihood that recipients would answer and suffer severe injuries.

- Lebanese officials report around 4,000 injured, with 200 in critical condition and 11 killed, most of whom were Hezbollah members.

- The Iranian ambassador was reportedly injured in the explosion.

- Approximately 500 Hezbollah members are said to have lost their eyesight due to the blast.

Hezbollah's Vice Prez of Communications should have listen to Tits Gurian here. But, she is Jewish so...

I wonder how many Al Jezeera and RT correspondants are out sick today.

Just hours before the pagers, Euroweenie Blix-type proclaimed:

Like ... all of them? LOL

Like the vid above states, the bombs didn't just go off in Lebanon, they went off in Britain, too.

This campaign was an error in judgment just to get a few sadistic yucks for the home team and its grand standers, which makes one wonder if there are not hidden hands inside guiding Israel to its own demise.
58   Ceffer   2024 Sep 18, 10:48pm  

OK, so much for it just being about 'explosives' in a few lots of devices. Is this is exposing the bomb potential of Li batteries across the board? Wake up call?




The rule of unintended consequences holds? Or, was it intended after all.

60   Ceffer   2024 Sep 18, 11:32pm  

Of course, the pager thing happened just after a successful Houthi demonstration that there is no Israeli defense to its hypersonic missiles. Were they desperate for a public 'success' that smacked of cunning and treachery? Since they are emptying out one front for another, do they hope for a 'blitzkreig' while comms are down? Maybe the pager thing was a precipitance of fear.

And, the plot thickens. Or does the plot Dickens. I'm confused.

And, from the annals of unintended consequences? Beware the Israeli 'security expert'.

China has already demonstrated they can kill groups of people through cell phones with 5G EMP focusing. No need for messy bombs, but I guess when you want to make a big splash, the bloody bodies work better.

Doesn't sound like the international editorial press is impressed by the pager thingie.

Targets were infrastructure civilians, doctors and medical personnel (those who use pagers) not just combatants?

Gotta watch out for those Iranian propaganda inserts that are out there flying around.

Nope doctors weren't targeted (unless they were members of Hezbollah).
72   WookieMan   2024 Sep 19, 8:09am  

Let them kill each other. Who the fuck cares. I'm not certain if I've ever bought a product from any of these countries in that region. They import everything. Maybe export some oil. They're worthless. If they do themselves in who gives a shit. I certainly don't.

What answer would persuade you it was not? Would "no comment" work? What else is available?

Gold Apollo has put up a public service note on its home page, in large font, saying please don’t murder them, they only licensed the brand name; the pagers were actually made by a subcontractor called BAC Consulting Kft, registered in Budapest, Hungary in 2022.

The Journal checked and reported nobody is answering the phone over at BAC, for some reason. But the paper quoted Hungarian officials who deny the pagers were ever in Hungary. Then it got even murkier. The Journal next reported that Gold Apollo’s records show it has exported around 260,000 pagers since 2022, but none of those were shipped to anyone in Lebanon.

In other words, if Hezbollah —a designated terror organization— did buy the pagers, it was through a disguised middleman somewhere outside Lebanon. Hezbollah doesn’t just phone up suppliers and say, “Hi, this is Hezbollah calling! Can we get some electronics, please?”

Gold Apollo Co., Ltd. has established a long-term
partnership with BAC CONSULTING KFT. (SZONYI

the brand trademark authorization and is not involved in
the design or manufacturing of this product. Gold Apollo
Co., Ltd. always complies with relevant regulations and

#1 They didn't hack every one of every model pager. Just one shipment
#2 The videos aren't showing doctors
#3 A guy named "EmpiresDown" probably isn't talking about the Napoleonic Empire, so he's a Hezbollah simp Turd World asshole cunt.

Meanwhile, in Dearborn, Michigan:

That's middle class Moloch family. Dad was a supporter of Mussolini. Of course, who knows if this is even N any more or just another staged avatar.
