War More than 1,000 people, including Hezbollah members, wounded in Lebanon when pagers explode - Israel blows the balls off Hezbollah members

BEIRUT, Sept 17 (Reuters) - More than 1,000 people, including Hezbollah fighters and medics, were wounded on Tuesday when the pagers they use to communicate exploded across Lebanon, security sources told Reuters.
A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the "biggest security breach" the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of war with Israel.
Israel and the Iran-backed Hezbollah have been engaged in cross-border warfare since the Gaza war erupted last October, the worst such escalation in years.

The Israeli military declined to comment on Reuters enquiries about the detonations.
Iran's Mehr news agency said the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amani, was injured by one of the blasts. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report.
A Reuters journalist saw ambulances rushing through the southern suburbs of the capital Beirut, a Hezbollah stronghold, amid widespread panic. A security source said that devices were also exploding in the south of Lebanon.

At Mt. Lebanon hospital, a Reuters reporter saw motorcycles rushing to the emergency room, where people with their hands bloodied were screaming in pain.
The head of the Nabatieh public hospital in the south of the country, Hassan Wazni, told Reuters that around 40 wounded people were being treated at his facility. The wounds included injuries to the face, eyes and limbs.
The wave of explosions lasted around an hour after the initial detonations, which took place about 3:45 p.m. local time (1345 GMT). It was not immediately clear how the devices were detonated.

Lebanese internal security forces said a number of wireless communication devices were detonated across Lebanon, especially in Beirut's southern suburbs, leading to injuries.
Groups of people huddled at the entrance of buildings to check on people they knew who may have been wounded, the Reuters journalist said.
Regional broadcasters carrying CCTV footage which showed what appeared to be a small handheld device placed next to a grocery store cashier where an individual was paying spontaneously exploding. In other footage, an explosion appeared to knock out someone standing at a fruit stand at a market area.

Lebanon’s crisis operations center, which is run by the health ministry, asked all medical workers to head to their respective hospitals to help cope with the massive numbers of wounded coming into for urgent care. It said health care workers should not use pagers.
The Lebanese Red Cross said more than 50 ambulances and 300 emergency medical staff were dispatched to assist in the evacuation of victims.

Hezbollah fired missiles at Israel immediately after the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas gunmen on Israel. Hezbollah and Israel have been exchanging fire constantly ever since, while avoiding a major escalation as war rages in Gaza to the south.
Tens of thousands of people have been displaced from towns and villages on both sides of the border by the hostilities.

From OSINT

What we know so far:
- Explosion happened simultanously
- Explosions didn't only happen in Lebanon, but in Syria too so it's a long range to be wireless detonation signal.
- The pager is 'Rugged Pager AR924' produced by a Taiwanese company
- Small Li-Ion battery, can't explode that big
- None of the pagers caught fire, which is common incase of a battery 'explosion' rather they just exploded.
- However the pagers did heat up before
- All exploded pagers were the same model of pager.
- The pagers came from one shipment

Also pretty shitty headline considering this was an attack that could only hit Hezbollah members

The whole thing with dogs and Islam is rather odd. The TL ; DR of what I've looked into is that dogs are allowed if it is for utilitarian purposes: Hunting, guarding or other work related uses. Frivolous purposes such as pets are not allowed because of hygiene and because "angels won't enter a house if there are dogs inside". Some say the saliva of dogs is impure yet you can consume animals that were hunted using dogs.

I guess the dogs that have it worse in Muslims countries are strays since these do "no work" and are seen as dirty by nature.

Inconsistencies aside, the overwhelming view of dogs as impure by Muslims has come at a price, specially considering explosive-sniffing dogs would fall squarely on the category of "working dogs" and it would have saved Hezbollah's asses (literally) from getting blown up.

Also you never see them using dogs in rescue operation when trying to locate survivors under the rubble of a collapsed building, It is only when Western firefighter teams arrive when you see dogs in action. Their holy book is telling them it is OK to use dogs for vital and useful purposes, but no, some haddith said: "dogs are dirty" and that's that,

New business plan: bomb-sniffing goats. Seeing eye service goats. Who wants in as an investor?

Then you watch the hilarious videos of them howling like eunuchs after their balls got blown off.

Nice work Israel, castration should be a default tactic against the Musloid savages, every one that dies shrieking in agony is a blessing for all mankind. Saw the balls and dick off of any you capture too.

Considering how ol' Mo liked his cats they'd probably go for bomb sniffing cats that only work half the time because they're prone to getting fussy.

I have looked into this so has the mrs, long story short thats the "Told story" from sources at the time he just didn't like one of his wifies dogs so had an explanation from god about them an banished her small lapdog to the grounds of his guard dogs and let nature take its course.

I have done some work for Genuine Crown princes for there 0bviously-Notpets and those dogs are sure pamperd and clingy for men following the word of god, I have even held a Gun in front of one of them (dude bought a pair of shotguns that morning and wanted to know if I liked them to show off) and is also a bit of a history gun sperg like myself an would like to talk about them over coffee before we talk money and for what he pays I will do it for him and we work well together at the design an sourcing phase - that dog was not a guard dog it was a pure pamperd lapdog that things walking a few steps on a tiled floor is arduous work that requires a 4 hour nap at a minimum to recover from.

There is lies up an down society for this, from the peasant farmer who has a chiwowwa sorta dog, it sleeps on the bed for keeping the mice an rats away from my toes while I sleep, to various mountain hounds with the name Bear or Sultan etc but in the most secular way you can explain to yourself as following the quran. Even small lap / attack dogs would be ok for the upper class as while pamperd they are obviously a utility guard dog because if I command it will jump right at them trying to lick / bite them, you see providing a use for the faithless in the name of god, as a man near his right of rule should be protected and teaching the faithless about god. or some version of that lie.

 

[glass_houses]

You bring up an excellent point, while this was an excellently executed operation attacks like this on a large scale have now been proven to be possible but also stealthy, 15 / 20 years ago I read books about fucking with phones in a way to cause a fire etc but imagine the chaos someone could cause if they wanted to an slipped in 3rd party parts for phones or batteries etc? not even on a consistent or planned basis - the West relies on reliable parts of real complexity made in places that are not that friendly to us so imagine a random slipping boom bugs (nly thing I cna thing to call them) into a supply chain for a few years at random what could happen not just int he cost of life but int he collateral damage, fires, locdowns shutdowns etc

The worlds now got a lot to deal with, because of this, and its not going to be prety.

Yeah, it's worrying as hell. However, it must be noted that the tech supply chain has already been hijacked for some time; almost anything with a computer chip is at risk of being preloaded with malware. Remember the dildo copypasta?

What is more upsetting is that at least some of the sabotaged equipment has to have been in place for months, if not years. I doubt that the exploding solar panels were all installed yesterday. How long has Israel been planning these attacks? Before 2023? And what if the sabotaged equipment accidentally ended up in the hands of uninvolved third parties?

I'm also concerned about the mechanism of the explosions. The explanation is that explosive material was built into the devices. What if (and I accept your inevitable negative ratings) there was no explosive material, only the lithium battery, detonated remotely? Does that mean that all lithium batteries are at risk?

That plan really blew up in their faces, didn't it?

there's no evidence of solar panels actually exploding, not a single picture or video that isn't obviously edited in some way yet, i'm open to being proven wrong though.

 

[AnOminous]

its pretty clear there is no actual benefit to avoiding civilian loss since libfagtrannykikes are gonna bitch no matter what.

Yeah but if you don't just go out of your way to ramp up civilian casualties as high as you possibly can, they'll be the ONLY people bitching. Everyone else is more or less going to treat it as reasonable behavior.

Shit, don't even need to be state-level, any terrorist cell now could just ship a bunch of spiked batteries to repair shops in a kuffar city then blowing them up.

That's probably the actual worst ramification from this. Muzzie wuzzies aren't smart enough to come up with this shit on their own but now any of these devices that remain unexploded can be reverse engineered. Now they know how to do it, they will, probably against random civilians because that's just how these subhuman animals roll.

So far as I know, they don't. I'm pretty sure the incidents of explosions or fires relating to solar panels aren't the panels themselves, but either shitty, defective chinkware inverters or inverters deployed by retards, or both.

 

[Gruntgar The Indentured]

I expect the Iranians to retaliate against a US asset in the gulf region after this with a sprinkling of rockets into Israel on the side. They know Duchess Cacklealot will appease them to somehow wait until after the election. But I must wonder what was on those Russian transports that made recent deliveries @ 6 weeks ago to Iran. Humanitarian aid-unlikely, armored vehicles-unlikely, I bet it was a shitload of S400 batteries.

You see when it comes to hardware yea I fully agree and I also assume anything I run is compromised in some way shape or form, an software is never in any form to be trusted or connect to anything else ever you might be logging everything but you have no mouth and you must scream in only no out, the facility for outside digital communication is non existent it will be compromised but it will not be able to ever tell the secrets that it's learned.

You need to calm down.

There are no rigged solar panels. There are just enough shitty installations out there that one or two go on fire every month and make the news. It would be a completely pointless way of attacking a terrorist organisation.

Lithium batteries in consumer products like phones cannot be made to heat up and catch fire (let alone explode) by malware alone, they would need to specifically be intercepted and modified to reliably do that.
To explode as they did in this case means that a small bomb was hidden inside.

This simply won’t happen with generic devices on the market in the west.

the earliest instance of this quote seems to be here though i welcome a correction. there appears to be exactly zero citation of this, the claim is just made by a wildly schizophrenic web 1.0 website talking about other unsourced statements from other people. if you could find an actual source that would link back to him saying that in 1982, i'd love to read it.

 

[Gobermental Supervisor]

The funniest thing is the islamo-cope trying to spin this as "a terrorist attack on healthcare workers who all carry pagers at work".

Holy kosher shit man, that level of retardation is hard to achieve. It is as if the undereducated islamo-sand-nigger thinks every electronic device can blow up at any time on command.

 

[AnOminous]

It's hard not to admire the cunningness of this thing, just as even as one detests the actual act of terrorism, 9/11 was an incredibly competent exploitation of a vulnerability we actually knew about and did nothing to address (whether due to conspiracy or stupidity).

I'm pretty sure it's made up. I'm not sure why anyone would need to make shit up about Begin, though, who was actually what Britain itself called a leader of the "notorious terrorist organization" Irgun. This wasn't just rhetoric. This Zionist organization did in fact engage in numerous terrorist attacks in Britain to pressure them into honoring the part of the Mandate for Palestine that they had reneged on.

Of course, they were completely uninterested in the rest of the agreement, and a lot of the subsequent problems in the region has derived from the fact the Brits pulled this shit. It's just that Zionists were willing to get violent enough to force the issue.

So it's one of those "I don't know if he said this but I wouldn't be shocked" things.

 

[TheMeanOne]

How long has Israel been planning these attacks? Before 2023?

Why do you think this would take a long time to plan? Someone needed to come up with a reason to go to a warehouse, a way to gain entry and tamper with some pagers, and maybe affix a shipping label to the box. You could do the last step as a delivery guy. "Oops I brought the wrong pagers yesterday!" then swap out a couple boxes of good ones with bad ones. You could do every step of this at the lowest level in any company or as a temporary worker from an agency. This would be a VERY easy thing to do, actually.

Pagers aren't iPhones, they have very little value. It's very unlikely there was a lot of security around these devices, at all.

And what if the sabotaged equipment accidentally ended up in the hands of uninvolved third parties?

Someone would've had to steal it. In which case: yeah, it is kind of sad. But don't take things that aren't yours and don't buy a pager that fell off the back of the truck. It's 2024 almost no one uses pagers anymore. Even maintenance workers are getting an iPhone with a work orders app handed it to them on day one. If someone's using a pager that's because they're trying to avoid something at this point.
