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.

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
 
No but generally Hezbollah routes purchases through igrc and they get it in the next shipment.

Exclusive sources for Sky News Arabia: Mossad placed a quantity of highly explosive PETN on the devices’ battery and detonated it by raising the temperature of the battery.

Looks lke PETN autoignites at 190C (375F) so it seems plausible. My question is how did they heat the batteries to get them all to go off simultaneously?

Why is this featured and also filled with jidf tier posters going formerly chucks on each other?
I guess josh really DOES love israel and it wasnt a joke the whole time
You're just gonna have to deal with the Joos winning again and your mistake thinking that KF is a poltard hugbox
 
What a fag. Those cars just hopelessly bump against the car in front of them in the stupid traffic-clogged streets anyway. Snowden should be experienced enough to understand 3rd world Shithole traffic.

As for grocery stores, the videos show nearby women getting startled and running away. That's it. Cry more, pussy.
 
If USA was working on this project you would have collateral damage everywhere.
i actually believe if the US handled this the whole city would've been leveled, and we would have boots on the ground dying to newly insurgent rifles.

That girl who died when her dad's pager blew up? Well, maybe he shouldn't have been a terrorist, then he'd have never got that pager, and then his daughter would still be alive.
couldn't agree more. if you weren't a terrorist, your daughter would still be alive. you are directly responsible for that. this is the exact meaning of 'taking responsibility for your own actions'.
 
I believe you mean enemy combatants that refuse to wear proper uniforms and are breaking numerous rules of war as such.
So all citizens are "enemy combatants," just like torture is "enhanced interrogation." I know you mormons work for the CIA, but at least be more covert than this. Israel has broken every warcrime in the book. The hypocrisy is astounding.
 
it's already been explained to you once that if they did this for one or two pagers, the entire attack would've been useless. it's obvious this was a mass assassination attempt. very successful, too.
And I've already explained that Mossad would rig 1,000 pagers in the hopes that one of them winds up in the hands of their intended target and then blow up that one.

you still haven't acknowledged why no pagers in hospitals or EMS are reported to have blown up? or why pagers in syria 250ish miles away would be going off?
We don't know if any did blow up in hospitals. There have been reports of EMS workers being blown up. I wouldn't trust any info from either side about this though.
 
This is monstrous. How many of these people were holding children in their laps, or driving vehicles?

Absolutely vile.

Also, just wait until the conspiracy theory nutjobs start wondering if the weird tesla accident that killed some random whistleblower was the same sort of thing... They're gonna go even crazier.
 
I seriously wonder what the hell they were thinking getting electronics from Taiwan which obviously is going to be a Pro-West State. Surely China makes cheap pagers.
There's a very good chance they were tampered with well after they left Taiwan.
The Ukrainian ambassador to Lebanon's pager also blew up. I have a feeling Mossad fucked up, meant to trigger one or two and they all exploded.

My theory is that they had long range transmitters that broadcast a certain frequency from Israel. It hit both Beirut and Damascus. That activated the pagers and caused them to heat up
 
NOOOOO INFIDEL KIKE CHILD YOU DID NOT OUTSMART ME YET AGAIN! I'LL GET YOU INSHALLAH!
Haha, Gentile genitals go pop.

Only thing I'm complaining about - why is Israel the only state allowed supervilliain antics like this?
Why is Hamas allowed to shoot up youth gatherings like Hans Breivik and have useful idiots pretend they're innocent victims? Almost anyone who had one of these pagers was an active militant in a terrorist organization.

If we had our shit together enough to do this to ISIS or Mexican and South American cartels I'd be fine with it.
