How the hell did the Israeli's mange to cause the exploding pagers?

[mids2019]

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

But whose word will you accept? Who will have to report it before you'll believe it?

I’m not trying to obtain any sympathy for Hezbollah
I’m trying to get some sympathy for those innocent civilians that might have got caught in today’s attack.

Civilians don't use pagers.

Do you have a link from an official source that verifies this? Thanks

We do know if we believe middle eastern news sources or the BBC

I actually don’t think they are actively targeting civilians, I’m not saying they are overly concerned when civilians get hurt but not actively targeting. I think Hamas insist on hiding behind their own people.

Hamas on the other hand, definitely actively targeted civilians.

A terror attack attacking the terrorist organisation Hezbollah?

There really won’t be many innocent civilians caught up in todays attack.

These weren’t just random pagers.

There weren’t masses of huge explosions.

Here you go - this feels like the sort of news source you'll accept.

I believe doctors do , don’t do they?

@EasterIssland Hezbollah have been nest Jg in southern Lebanon for decades. The idea that there are 4,000 people in the group is very realistic. If you knew the first thing about the current situation in Lebanon you would also know that they’ve essentially been holding the Lebanese Parliament at a standstill to prevent any laws being passed that would outlaw their activities. Activities such as- kidnap, murder, assassination, attacks on embassies, attacks on Israeli residential areas (with civilian casualties).

They are not resistance fighters. They aren’t even Lebanese. Most of them are foreign fighters drafted in for a go at holy war (just like most members of Hamas).

Independently verified. No reports are yet categorically saying who has been killed and injured. I'm sure it will be clearer soon. I'm not, not believing I'm just not jumping to assumptions yet

Well Israel have killed more civilians than Hamas so that makes no sense.

They have the worst ratios for civilian casualty in pretty much every other war. They have made 100% of the population of Gaza homeless and have destroyed over 50% of the infrastructure. They are of course targeting civilians.

Thanks. But this doesn’t say that only hezbollahs pagers exploded as the other poster told me. There is 2.5-4k injured. is there a link from any news that says yes they all were hezbollah members ?

Oh, what utter rubbish. Get a grip.

Yes it's widely mentioned here how important Israeli tech is to the tech world... however don't be so arrogant as to believe that the tech world wouldn't cope without Israeli input.

Having shown that they're willing to tamper with tech in order to perform a terrorist attack, the rest of the world needs to be on high alert.

@amigafan2003 of course civilians use pagers. Maybe not those particular pagers, but pagers themselves are widely used - by most hospital doctors for starters.

Umm yes

I've no idea what news source you might deem official. If you are dismissing the BBC, the guardian and Hezbollah themselves.

I do know what you’ve said. What I don’t know is if those 4k injured today were all hezbollah members or innocent civilians have been affected as well.

also, I don’t think this attack will make north of Israel safe, in fact I do think it’ll be more dangerous

What proof do you have please? Thousands of exploding devices and you dare say there won't be innocents caught up?

“Three security sources told Reuters that the pagers that detonated were the latest model brought in by Hezbollah in recent months.”

the pagers are from Taiwan

Can you point at me where does it say that all the injured people were hezbollah members in bbc news ? Thanks

@Menstrualcycledisplayteam What part of @Wonderlust233 post was rubbish? Hint: None.

You have misunderstood what I said, I wasn’t approving of their actions. I am saying that their target is Hamas, the civilians are in the way. They are not trying to kill the civilians. They are trying to kill Hamas. Hamas likes to squat behind civilians.

Hamas went out if it’s way to murder, rape and kidnap civilians specifically.
