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

Video of the attacks
 
What surprises me is that no one in Hezbollah thought to inspect the pagers for tampering before distribution. You'd think thats the first thing they'd do, especially for third party chink shit.
There's a chance that these could have been provided by Iran. If that's the case then Iran is completely compromised.

I don't know if they'd be checking every piece of routine use consumer electronics.

It'd be funny if the Jews deliberately didn't do this to the deluxe models that would be reserved for leadership on the grounds that they might be checked.
 
If some went to civvies then isn't this a war crime/terrorist attack?
No. The attack was targeted against a military force, it's not the responsibility of the opposition force to track what they do with their communications gear.
Stop being faggots, Israel, if you want to take them down, do so face first, not with bitch-level pussy tactics.
Inbred sandniggers lose a hand, and you want pistols at dawn :story:
 
Did all the pagers to go hezbolah fighters? If some went to civvies then isn't this a war crime/terrorist attack?

Nah, getting people live in fear that regular devices can suddenly blow off their nards is funny af.
 
This was a HIGHLY targeted attack that got over 2000 Hezbollah members with minimal civilian casualties. Practically unheard of before at such a scale. It's one for the history books, bros.

Their whole organization is in disarray, their comms are down, many high ranking members are injured. Great time to strike again.
 
Assuming AR924 info in op is correct, this is what they are:

Can't find anything as far as details on the internals, but I can't imagine there is much room left over for party putty. I'm wondering if they replaced the internals with something that gave them more room.

Edit: entire site looks to be inaccessable. Might be getting overloaded, might be getting pulled down by the owners for PR reasons, I don't know. Anyway, here's the archive. https://archive.is/1htup

2,800 injured, causing immense strain on their medical resources, and monetary payments to the injured.
What's the old calculation? Injure one, take 3 out of the fight?
 
From Lebanese Minister of health: 2800+ injured, 8 dead so far. Hospitals are overwhelmed.
This might just be the most successful kikeperation since they, you know, killed God.

If it's as old as it looks, they could replace the whole damn thing with a single tiny chip, leaving the rest of the container for extended battery life assault and battery.
 
Israel set the pagers to go off a few seconds before the explosions so Hezbollah members would bring it up to their face and chests.

Hezbollah statement:
Quote from statement because I couldn't just quote it directly:

"We affirm that the resistance, at all its levels and various units, is at the highest level of readiness to defend Lebanon and its steadfast people."


Give it about 10 seconds after the time stamp and see if you see what I see.
