Israel Under Attack

[WLJ]

Now all they have to do is hack into the hospital records form the last couple of days and see who was brought in with injuries consistent with a small explosion to get their name and address and then send them a special get well card! :)

Shouldn't that be a Don't Get Well card?

[K Frame]

I'm thinking it would be a You're *expletive deleted*ed card.

The two radios shown clearly in pictures were branded Icom.  They're one of the biggest players in the two-way radio market world wide.

... or were one of the biggest.

Some reports that solar panels systems and fingerprint recognition devices have exploded as well but I haven't seen this reported by anyone else yet. Remember TDM

Thousands of walkie talkies, solar panels and fingerprint recognition devices used by Hezbollah fighters have detonated across Lebanon, killing 14 and wounding hundreds of people including mourners at a funeral, witnesses and security sources have reported.

The second wave of carnage comes a day after thousands of exploding pagers used by the group left almost 3,000 people injured and a dozen dead, including civilians and children.

Security sources have now confirmed that hand-held radios were purchased by Hezbollah five months ago, at around the same time as the compromised pagers.  Lebanese media has also reported that home solar energy systems have blown up in several areas of Beirut.

And since the Middle East is not subject to HIPAA, there will be no PHI breach investigations by the Feds.

On the one hand, who can blame Israel for not giving Biden a heads up on the op? On the other hand, I bet if they would have called the White House and said, "We're planning an [generic] op in Lebanon within the hour", a whole bunch more Hezbollah might have had their pagers in hand when they were detonated. Plus they would have probably gotten Rashida Tlaib.

Pure genius to make it a multi-tier program, and to set off the radios at the time of funerals for the pager "victims."

Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi accused Israel of pushing the Middle East to the brink of a regional war by orchestrating a dangerous escalation on many fronts.

Well, screw Jordan's Foreign Minister. Their Arab buddies in Gaza started this when they invaded Israel, took "hostages," and then executed them.

Some of the comments after that are gold

I wonder if everyone here would be happy if suddenly all the inhabitants of Lebanon (and what about Lebanon - all Arabs, for example) exploded at once?

I’m going to spare you my normal sarcasm- it wouldn’t bother me a bit considering much of the Islamic world wants to kill me.

You say that as if it's a bad thing...

Yet this wasn't a random attack on Lebanon. This is probably one of the most precision clandestine targetings of enemy forces in the history of modern warfare. Unlike Hezbollah lobbing thousands of missiles into Israel with no concern on whether they land on a military target or a kindergarten.

If there is a philosophical discussion to be had (and I think there is), it's not Israel targeting enemy combatants in this current conflict, but the potential use of this technology and technique by corrupt governments against people they don't like, including their own citizens, or being used indiscriminately by terror organizations (or say, the South China Sword units already entrenched in the United States) for the same reactions they would get by, for instance, blowing up random shopping malls.

[K Frame]

You beat me to the response that I was working on creating Ben.

All of the people wailing and screaming about this being a horrible Israeli war crime are ignoring the fact that it was, as you say, targeted precisely at individuals due to their association with a known terrorist group.

Get that nuance, Opportunity?

If someone was carrying a pager that was purchased by Hezbollah, that means that Hezbollah leadership GAVE them that pager. That wasn't charity on Hezbollah's part. This wasn't part of Hezbollah's "Pagers for the Poor" campaign.

It's simple to do the math on that association. If someone was carrying a pager that exploded they were associates of a known terrorist group and were likely in some sort of leadership position in that terrorist group.

So please take a moment and explain to us why we should care about these aholes when they have shown that they have absolutely ZERO problems with attacking and killing civilians.

Oh, I'm sorry, those civilians are Jew pig infidels, so it's OK to kill them, but it's not OK for the filthy Jew pigs infidels to target Allah's special children.

Opportunity views this through a Russian lens that does not see Hezbollah as a terrorist group.  I'm not sure he sees the attack as any different than had Israel attacked the Girl Scouts.

[K Frame]

Opportunity is Russian? Didn't know that.

The other nice part of this is Israel shouldn't have hard time identifying all the people who were wounded by the pagers but were not killed (along with their associates). 

The other interesting part to me is they were using pagers as a low tech way to deal with Israeli surveillance.  Will they drop down to passenger pigeons next?

Some memes has been joking about them using pigeons.
I told some people to Google Pigeon Bomb. Yeah, it was a real thing.

For those who don't get the joke that was a real thing too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_bomb

And just in case you start thinking of using chickens https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Peacock

[WLJ]

That was a well targeted attack that hit people who if given the chance would happily put a bunch of Israeli babies in a pile, pour gasoline on them, and shout "Phrase be to Allah" as they threw a match on the pile then dance and sing to the screams. Sometimes you just got to take out the trash.

Israel is fighting against people who don't want to conquer them but exterminate them and the Lebanese people are basically being held hostage and being used as pawns by those people.

[HankB]

Bombing a group with a history of car bombs and suicide vests . . . seems like poetic justice to me.

Pagers . . . walkie talkies . . . what else do these screaming beards use that can be booby trapped? Or which can be RUMORED to be booby trapped?

Wonder if they can get some AK47 ammo into Hamas' and Hezbolla's hands filled with C4 instead of ordinary gunpowder? Even 1 round per case would have an effect . . .
