Irony at its finest. Listen to this guy and you'd think Hezbollah was a victim of terrorism:rolleyes:

Lots of innocents at concert. More in kibbutz. No matter to Iranian proxies of which Hezbollah is one. War nets war.

I find it rather alarming that "the World" thinks it's okay to single out a people trying to mind their own business for defending themselves against a bunch of people trying to exterminate them. While I do question their values, values are learned.

Poor native Americans. Poor Black/Asian/Hispanics. The very people crying over them and/or demanding reparations are trying to legalese Israel out of existence for no more reason than being Jews. Hypocrites:rolleyes:

Israel’s military claimed it killed a senior Hezbollah commander (https://cnn.com/world/live-news/lebanon-explosions-hezbollah-israel-09-20-24-intl-hnk/index.html) in an airstrike on the group’s stronghold in southern Beirut on Friday, sharply escalating the conflict between the two sides and raising fears of all-out war.
Ibrahim Aqil, a commander of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force, was assassinated along with “about 10” other commanders, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesperson Daniel Hagari said. He accused Aqil and the commanders of planning to raid and occupy communities in Galilee in northern Israel.
Hezbollah has not confirmed the deaths.
Lebanon’s health ministry said at least 14 people were killed and 66 others injured in the airstrike, which leveled a multistory building in a densely populated neighborhood.
According to Hagari, the targeted commanders were “underground underneath a residential building in the heart of the Dahiyeh neighborhood, using civilians as a human shield” at the time of the attack.
Aqil had a $7 million bounty on his head from the United States for his suspected involvement in the 1983 strike on the US Embassy in Beirut, which killed 63 people, as well as the bombing of the Beirut Marine barracks, which killed 241 US personnel later that year.

As a very young guy, he was involved in Beirut barracks bombing. Will not be missed.

I hope they kill them all.

This Is the Most Deliciously Devious Part About Israel's Exploding Pager Attacks


Victoria Taft (https://pjmedia.com/author/victoria-taft) | 12:02 AM on September 21, 2024

As a spy thriller fan, I love reading about the clever gadgets the good guys use to vanquish the bad guys, which is why I've been fascinated by the story of Hezbollah's deadly exploding pagers. How did Israel pull this off? Was it really Israel who did this? This attack is even more exacting than the exploding bed at the Iranian "safe" house.

Now we're learning more details of the attacks, and they're as impressive as they are diabolical.

Three thousand beepers exploded this week, killing a bunch of Hezbollah terrorists and some innocents. Iran's ambassador to Lebanon lost an eye in the attack.

After that attack, Hezbollah began using walkie-talkies, and they exploded.

When the terrorists decided to meet in person in Lebanon Friday (https://apnews.com/article/israel-hezbollah-rocket-attack-mideast-tensions-a6a95169a21b45dc86d86182e255fa7e), someone bombed the meeting.

Israel has not confirmed it carried out the attacks, nor is it likely they will ever lay claim to them, but U.S. intelligence officials who talked to their favorite intelligence mouthpiece, the New York Times, claimed Israel pulled it off. Time will tell what the truth is.

This operation has obviously been planned for quite some time. Though Israeli intelligence agencies were completely caught off guard by Hezbollah's Iran-backed October 7 attack, they appear to be trying to make up for that huge intelligence debacle.

Defense One (https://link.defenseone.com/view/66a6f2ee8fb669d4970401e4lw5es.rz7/ef685a3d) reports that Hezbollah had a deal with a Taiwan company, Gold Apollo, to supply the Islamic supremacist terror organization with pagers. Someone probably needs to have a little chat with the Taiwan company that sells AR-924 pagers to terrorists, but they told whoever asked that they weren't responsible for the pagers.

They pointed the finger of blame at a Hungarian firm called BAC Consulting KFT. This appears to be a shell company run by friendly or Israeli intelligence. Indeed, multiple Israeli cutouts may have been involved in the manufacturing and sales of the devices.

The Times reports that Israel "did not tamper with the Hezbollah devices that exploded, defense and intelligence officials say. It manufactured them as part of an elaborate ruse."
That's right. The shell company sold the rigged pagers manufactured by the good guys.

And this is the best part of the story—if you hate Islamo-Nazi terrorists, anyway—Hezbollah paid for its own rigged and exploding pagers.

Defense One characterized the "supply chain hack" operation as "legendary. (https://link.defenseone.com/view/66a6f2ee8fb669d4970401e4lw5es.rz7/ef685a3d)" The hackers installed "tiny quantities of explosives into at least 3,000 pagers specially ordered by Iran-backed Hezbollah militants across Lebanon and Syria." Legendary, indeed.

The pagers reportedly were laced with the chemical PETN.

The National Institutes of Health says that (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK589847/) "Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), CASRN 78-11-5, belongs to the class of compounds known as organic nitrates. It is used mainly as a demolition explosive and in the manufacture of detonating fuses and blasting caps...and is the main ingredient in Semtex, a plastic explosive." Ah, Semtex. That's a big boom-boom right there.

And the terrorist outfit handed out the pagers after they inspected them and still couldn't detect the Semtex.

I guarantee you this episode will be in every spy thriller novel for 20 years forever.

The Times reports (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/18/world/middleeast/israel-exploding-pagers-hezbollah.html) Iran's terror proxies have been on their heels for a few years. The paper report that "in 2020, for example, Israel assassinated Iran’s top nuclear scientist using an A.I.-assisted robot controlled remotely via satellite."

Like Afghanistan terror groups did after they realized U.S. drones could track their phones, Hezbollah has gone low-tech, hence the pagers, walkie-talkies, and in-person meetings.

More soberly, however, the exploding pagers and walkie-talkies killed more than a dozen bad guys, and 2,700 people were wounded, including some kids.
This was the reported breakdown of the casualties.


Breaking: According to a leaked document from Hezbollah intelligence, 879 died in pager explosions, out of which 291 senior commanders. 509 were blinded, and 1735 “injured in their reproductive organs”, out of which 906 “total damage” and 613 “permanent function damage”

I guess some of the guys who lived won't have the balls to reproduce and taint humanity's gene pool anymore.

When you start feeling sorry for these guys, just remember what their Hezbollah buddies did to families, babies, and women on October 7, and then you'll snap right out of it.
And Israel literally made them pay for their own deaths.

I'm not a lawyer but I know some.


A booby trap is defined as “any device designed or adapted to kill or injure, and which functions unexpectedly when a person disturbs or approaches an apparently harmless object,” according to Article 7 of a 1996 adaptation of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/ccw-amended-protocol-ii-1996/article-7), which Israel has adopted.

It didn't function unexpectedly. Unless there were 3000 apparently harmless objects were approached all at once.


“There is no world in which the explosion of hundreds, if not thousands, of pagers is not an indiscriminate attack prohibited by international law,” Mai El-Sadany, who heads the Tahrir Institute for Middle East Policy, a Washington-based think tank, wrote on X.

“The pager holders were scattered across civilian areas, from shopping malls to crowded streets and apartment buildings to hospitals, surrounded by women, children and men,” she told The Associated Press. “An attack like this cannot anticipate what innocent passerby is in the impact area or what carefree child picks up the pager when it beeps.”

What was "scattered"? They were ordered by and for an organization and delivered to specific individuals who seek to harm others. I'd say thousands of rockets tossed across a border is just a touch more indiscriminate.

Idiots.

It's just the idea that Israel can do no right. Had Zelenskiy done it to Putin it would be sheer, tactical and strategic genius:rolleyes:
