Just this is really ...how did they do it? Was this the secret service on steroids?

I don't think intricate details will be revealed for obvious reasons. But imagine if other countries or groups start to replicate similar attacks. It is extremely concerning.

I think it's horrible like a terror attack

It’s an attack on terrorists. Only someone that had not the faintest clue about who Hezbollah are would have any sympathy.

It is terrifying in that we now know what is possible with devices

"are you jacking off to porn on your mobile phone dear?"
"No"
Boom.

It's terrible that a little girl has died, but otherwise it's difficult to drum up sympathy for members of Hezbollah.

However, it is disturbing that this is possible. If it was in a film I'd think it was ridiculous.

A terror attack on a terrorist group that have been indiscriminately bombing Israeli civilians for years? Do you have any idea who Hezbollah are? What they’ve done?

it was a precise attack on some vile terrorists. It’s fine by me.

A similar targeted attack on the personal devices of a violent terrorist group? The uk has done much worse than that.

Looking at the bigger picture and considering the extent of the retaliation, no, I don't think I would.

Sometimes phones catch fire. Strange things happen.

Not all at the same time though.

ThIt's a bloody awful thing to do. But it's genius.

KnickerlessParsons · 17/09/2024 20:26

Whatever it was, and horrible though it was, it was also genius.

Annihilation?! What have we watching happening this past 11 months?!
surely you can’t still believe that the massive numbers killed in Gaza, west Bank and Lebanon can be justified at all.

shame one you

JaneDoeHere · 17/09/2024 20:36

Imagine being so dumb that you support terrorist groups. Being a Zionist is far from a crime.

I think this should teach hezball-less and hamass once and for all not to use Jewish technology, it’s very unsafe for them what with the space laser and all. And, FYI, rape and kidnapping babies is not resistance.

Bontonbonbon · 17/09/2024 20:40

It’s an incredibly clever attack because it’s flushed out everyone who is part of the Hezbollah network all at once- including the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon. I’m sure Mossad will have people on the ground tracking exactly who is being admitted to hospital and where they came from.

Because Hezbollah are cowards who hide in civilian populations so they can’t be easily found.

Yep, that 10 year old girl totally deserved to die.

It was indiscriminate, israel had no way of knowing fkr sure who was holding, or was near even one, never mind all of the devices.

You do realise that Hezbollah has been bombing Israel the day after the 7th October attack before Israel had even responded. You do realise that Hamas launched a terror attack that killed over 1200 Israeli citizens?

You would have to be really very stupid to not expect a response to that. And deluded to call yourself the resistance in a war you yourself started.

I think Israel really needs to think about what it’s doing and the toll of Palestinians is too much to bear, but the sheer gaslighting around this is extraordinary to me.

It’s like punching someone in the face out of the blue and then crying about how you are being attacked when they turn around and wallop you.

Pretty sure the child that died wasn't a terrorist 🙄.
