If this expands the tit for tat that has been ongoing with Hezbollah you have to wonder how much the Israeli economy can support. Their debt has to be growing exponentionally with every bomb and raid in Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon.

Iran was apparently sabre rattling when they claimed in July they would make Israel pay for blowing up the Hamas leader in Tehran. I'm not sure what Hezbollah plans might be but I think the folks in southern Lebanon have had enough. They may not be led by Hezbollah one more time.
Ah yes, mean ol Israel provoking terrorists by responding to their terrorism...
Our vibrations were getting nasty. But why? I was puzzled, frustrated... Had we deteriorated to the level of dumb beasts?

Whilst any way to kill Terrorists should be explored, this seems like an incredibly irresponsible or indiscriminate way to do it, what if a Child was playing with their Parents pager? or the target was sat on a window seat of a Passenger Plane? with Thousands of apparent targets, theres no way that could have been controlled, just another example of Israel not caring if innocents are killed but suffering no repercussions from it.
Agreed. Israel should really adopt the Palestinians' policy on killing innocents.
The difference being that Hezbollah is an internationally condemned Terrorist organisation, yet Israel Palestine is the one that has killed thousands of innocent Children
FIFY.


at 50 names per page, thats 700 Children under the age of 1 that Israel has killed
I cannot have an adult conversation with someone that considers a terrorist group a reliable source.

HOW MANY CHILDREN HAVE BEEN KILLED BECAUSE OF BROWN'S SURRENDER TO THE TALIBAN?

Why do you only get made at Israel? I'm sure it has nothing to do with Israel being a majority Jewish country.

I read it just fine. Maybe you need to reread my post to get the point being made that Israel isn't expanding anything by responding to terrorist attacks.

If they got into a shipment to wire in explosives, flashing a new firmware would be trivial, for those wondering how it was coordinated.

One side is willing to live in peace. The other side's religion believes the first side should be eliminated from earth. That's a significant difference.

No doubt common sense tells us Hamas/Hezbollah are the warriors. But I still have a problem the way Israel was created. Palestinians who lived there for generations were displaced. You'd be angry too.

Oh, well, if the Hamas Ministry of Health claims it's true then it MUST be true. Hamas NEVER puts out propaganda to try and make Israel look bad...
and Israel never indiscriminately kills Children.....
Can't allow human shields to protect terrorists. Womp womp. If the parents of those kids didn't support the Palestinian terrorists they would not be forced to see their kids used as propaganda.
wow and you guys call yourselves Christians lol, how utterly pathetic.


Oh spare me you pro-Hamas clown!

Do you sympathize with poor and middle class Americans in towns like Springfield, Ohio, behind displaced by Brown-funded illegal aliens?

About as often as you do, if we're using the nominal definition and connotation of 'indiscriminate'.

Here are the latest developments.

Hundreds of pagers blew up at the same time across Lebanon on Tuesday in an apparently coordinated attack that killed eight people and injured more than 2,000, health officials said on Tuesday.

The attack came a day after Israeli leaders warned that they were considering stepping up their military campaign against Hezbollah. NYT


This the same people that couldn't identify people paragliding in to rape women and slaughter babies and take hostages so their sympathizers could vote for kamala in America

Weird team to be on. But that's the obamabidencammiela team whooooooo

Let's allow Hamas to fire rockets into Israel at will and then fade into the civilian population and call king x to be protected from an Israeli response. There's a reason Hamas does it this way. Duh. Someday we should expect the Palestinians to use their brains and realize that if Hamas did not attack Israel to begin with, none of the bad things after would occur. Otherwise be ready for the response they get.

Well, they and the majority of cell phones are made in China. Cell phones used to have removable batteries. Now they don't. I phones can't actually be turned off fully anymore.

...not that a government that is mandating remote kill switches in cars would have any interest in implementing this sort of thing.

So tell me, how does the sacking of the temple and the expulsion of Jews from Syria Palaestina for 1900 years square with this 5000 years of not messing with God's people? This isn't a defense of Hamas, but an effort to correct Christian theology. The church are God's people.

What an effective covert operation. They are giving the terrorists a taste of their own medicine. Imagine being afraid of any device for fear it could blow up at any time. Also HZB is going to have to figure out a new communication mechanism.

For a second day, hand-held communication devices exploded across Lebanon and in the southern suburbs of the capital, Beirut, in an apparent attack on Hezbollah. At least nine people were killed and 300 injured, the Lebanese Health Ministry said....NYT

This is going to be interesting to follow the chain.

"That product isn't ours. They just stick on our company brand," Mr. Hsu told journalists, adding that in return his company received a share of the profits.

"We only provide brand trademark authorization and have no involvement in the design or manufacturing of this product," Gold Apollo said in a written statement. Even so, the Gold Apollo website displayed a picture of the pager model until the web page was taken down on Wednesday.

Some of the officials briefed on the operation had said that the pagers, which Hezbollah had ordered, had been tampered with before they reached Lebanon, and that most were Gold Apollo's AR924 model, though three other Gold Apollo models were also included in the shipment.

In a separate statement, Gold Apollo said that the AR924 model was produced and sold by B.A.C., with which it had a "long-term partnership." "Our company only provides the brand trademark authorization and is not involved in the design or manufacturing of this product," the company said.

Efforts to contact B.A.C. and verify Gold Apollo's account were not immediately successful.

Cristiana Brsony-Arcidiacono, who lists herself as the chief executive of B.A.C. Consulting on LinkedIn, did not immediately respond to messages. "I don't make the pagers," she told NBC News. "I am just the intermediate."

So...

1. Israel intercepted the pagers and then "modified" them, sending the modified ones onto their final destination.

Or

2. They knew what kind HZB orders, ordered some themselves, modified them and switched out the packages.

There maybe more scenarios possible.

In any case, they were able to get the tainted pagers into HZB hands without them suspecting a thing.

Either way I suspect they had to intercept the package coming from the manufacturer. Someday there will be a movie about this.

I'm curious on how this would work?

How do you synchronize multiple pagers to go off simultaneously?
The Israeli military declined to comment, but American and other officials briefed on the operation said Israel was responsible for the attack and had executed it by hiding small amounts of explosive material in each pager within a new batch of pagers made in Taiwan and imported into Lebanon.

I hope TSM isn't involved for the sake of my stock holdings

To answer your question I have no clue how they synchronize other than cooperation with the manufacturer for a timing mechanism.

So this is why we had to give Taiwan $11 billion dollars 6 months ago...

Its always Israel first, America last.

Both sides hate you if you arent one of them.

There is no good side in this conflict.

They are both scumbags... but Israel are the scumbags who take over my country and destroy my savings so I despise them more.
