I'm no supporter of Hezbollah but these terror attacks in Lebanon should be condemned by everyone. There are several innocent civilians who have been killed with thousands injured, and imagine a breach in the supply chain with these boobytraps, this is drastic and should be worrisome to everyone.

[Nein]

This tactic is actually pure evil. This is actually fear-inducing. This is a precedent for large-scale terrorism using DAILY consumer goods. What the actual ****.

[Virgos Groove]

I know the word "dystopian" is overused, but surely it applies to an ethnostate booby-trapping consumer products and potentially saboting supply chains. Who knows the precedent that could be set if Israel doesn't face consequences for this?

[Archetype]

So they could have detonated specific devices when the targets were alone, but chose to just detonate them all at once?

All of the devices had explosives implanted within them prior to being delivered.  This is a tactic used by intelligence and spy agencies for decades, but the number of people affected by this at the same time is definitely against the point of doing this.  It's not only incredibly reckless and dangerous to the public, but also really, really stupid as it brings negative attention to the culprit (Israeli government).

I'm sure they have other enemies, I'm not saying it's not them just what exactly is the proof before jumping to blame and accusations…

[DuffStan]

Does the international community condemn and punish? Or are they only after one specific group of people? DISGUSTING.

Apparently they officially informed Lloyd Austin right before doing it to get America's approval but kept it vague:

 

Israel didn't inform the Biden administration in advance about its intelligence operation to explode thousands of Hezbollah members' pager devices, two U.S. officials told Axios.

Why it matters: The explosions killed at least nine people, including a child, and wounded 2,800 others, among them many members of Hezbollah and its military units.

 

• Israeli officials said they are aware that a major escalation on the northern border is possible after the attack and said Israel Defense Forces are on high alert for a possible response by Hezbollah.

A U.S. official said that several minutes before the pagers started exploding across Lebanon, Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant called U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and told him Israel was going to conduct an operation in Lebanon soon, but refused to give any specific details.

• The U.S. official said the Israelis didn't tell the U.S. about the specifics of the operation, but added that Gallant's call was an attempt to avoid keeping the U.S. totally in the dark.
• Nevertheless, U.S. officials said they didn't see Gallant's call as a serious prior notice. "We were not aware of this operation and were not involved," U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters on Tuesday.
• Austin spoke to Gallant on the phone twice on Tuesday and discussed the situation, Israeli and U.S. officials said.

Driving the news: The operation was approved earlier this week during security meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior members of his cabinet and the heads of the security services, a source with knowledge said

once again that demonic country with blood on their hands

[Sannie]

Yet more reason for Biden to call it quits with Israel. He has so much ammo to just be like, "I was supportive but they've taken it too far" and he just won't. My God.

 

Also, why does this remind me of the ending of the Kingsman 2 movie where everyone's brain chips explode. Real movie terror ****.

are we sure that Taiwan was unaware?

agree, just like how the pied noir were sent back to france when algeria won independence, israelis should also be sent back to wherever they came from (mainly europe)

[Phaunzie]

How shocking, a terrorist state doing terrorism. I wonder what American zionists think now that their new iPhones is potentially a bomb.

[Luckitty]

this proves that technology products made by the US and its allies are unreliable and can be used as weapons by the US and its allies at any moment

 

the next time i buy a phone i'll make sure it's from a chinese brand 

[Princess Aurora]

Wait, I'm extremely confused by this situation. Did they hack these electronic tools and blow them up or were there already explosives in them? This is concerning. 

[réveuse]

The Zionist project must end. This is a terrorist attack against Lebanon.
