If you're Hezbollah and Israel hit your pagers one day and your walkie-talkies the next...how far away from any technology are you going to stay for the near future until you can be sure your supply chain is fully secure?
 
They took out the upper levels of Hezbollah yesterday and went after the lower-level commanders today that had walkie talkies instead of pagers.

It really seems like a psy-ops mission. You make the opposition paranoid about all electronics for at least a period of time.
 
I heard the attack described as. "ballsy". I'm thinking have a chunk of C-4 go off in your pocket could make it a "de-ballsy" attack and lead to decreased future male fertility among Hezbollah.
 
walkie talkie death toll is now 20. More fatalities because they could fit a bugger bomb in the radios than the pagers.

Civilian casualties aside.... this whole "exploding communication devices" is pretty entertaining.

It's entertaining until you consider the possibility that it could be done to the cell phones and other devices that billions of people carry around every day.

Israel intercepted and inserted explosives into the pagers/walkie talkies. Devices don't come from the factory with explosives by default.

The explosions were fairly big. There is video where one exploded at a funeral and I can definitely see how there could be casualties outside of the walkie talkie user. It looked like the concussion went out to a 10 or 15 ft radius. Probably wouldn't be much shrapnel but still enough to kill and injure lots of people.

The point is that we now know a highly-organized terrorist organization or rogue state actor could potentially do the same.

Do we know that for a fact yet? That the explosions were caused by explosives inserted in the supply chain? I know it's been theorized but wasn't sure if it had been confirmed.
 
How is this not considered an act of terror? Detonating explosives on people in crowded areas, homes, groceries, hospitals, etc… is an act of terrorism and should he condemned. If it was the other way around, how would people be reacting?
Of the 12 people killed yesterday, 2 were children and 4 were healthcare workers. Those pagers weren’t just used by Hezbollah.
What if one of the people with the pagers happened to be on a plane?
The people in Lebanon are traumatized by the coordinated explosions. However, the civilian victims are just a footnote and their lives don’t matter because they have been dehumanized over time.
