Blowing up pagers?

[supermike80 1,803]

I don't know who is responsible for that "attack" but holy cow Batman that's pretty up there in the bad-assery scale I would say.

Pretty wild and high tech.

I thought pagers went out with the land line.

I don’t think it’s cool. I don’t think it’s something to celebrate. The explosions killed all sorts of civilians, including young children.

Why Hezbollah use pagers

Civilian casualties are terrible. However, this is a pretty ingenious way to target pieces of shet whose plan is to blend in with civilians.

were not talking about the damage it did, were discussing the ingenuity 

its one of the most genius attacks I have ever seen, and have absolutely no clue how it would be pulled off

"Hey yo, I see it. Try to avoid it but it comes. That's how it's goin in the slums, over crumbs. Sump'n little becomes sump'n major. Niggas gettin blown up like a pager."

Correct.  Im not cheering children and innocents getting killed.   Im just pretty curious how this was pulled off

I got wasted one night many moons ago with this fatty that was fun, but it was time for me to fly. So she is passed out and I went potty and pissed all over her bathroom. Mirrors and everything. Got dressed and left. I should have pissed on her. Got to work and no pager. Left it on the sink I pissed all over. That day and week, i missed multiple pages. Some important and some from other Wemens.She called every single one back telling them outrageous stories about me. All I could do was laugh.

So, she told them what a loser you’re, and that you stupidly pissed all over her bathroom and mirrors, only a loser does that, Loser.

Wrong. It's perfectly acceptable to celebrate any time terrorists die. It's also an acceptable outcome to kill a few civilians in the process knowing that hundreds or thousands are saved by having done it.

My first thought when Liberal Timmy posted his predictable reply was that they dont care about civilians. 

Not saying we should stoop to their level but it does affect my sympathies.

Good lord. What an attack. These chuds will be afraid to use any communication device now. Everyday.

People whining about civilian deaths dont actually care about life. They would trade 50000 israeli soldiers lives for a few civilians and think they are righteous. 

Theyre ogres.

You’re right IF you can prove this is the case. I don’t think you can in this instance or in this war. And if you can’t,  then it’s not an acceptable outcome. Especially if it’s children who are dying.

Wrong. I have been a huge supporter of Israel my entire life. I think actions like this make Israel less safe not more. There are plenty of Israelis that agree with me on this.

Let me guess the whole "you are just breeding the next generation of terrorists that definitely would not exist otherwise because these people are akshually super great"

That’s certainly part of it. But actually in this case the threat is a lot more immediate.

Several experts who spoke with The Associated Press explained how the explosions were most likely the result of supply-chain interference.

Very small explosive devices may have been built into the pagers prior to their delivery to Hezbollah, and then all remotely triggered simultaneously, possibly with a radio signal.

By the time of the attack, “the battery was probably half-explosive and half-actual battery," said Carlos Perez, director of security intelligence at TrustedSec.

A former British Army bomb disposal officer explained that an explosive device has five main components: A container, a battery, a triggering device, a detonator and an explosive charge.

“A pager has three of those already,” explained the ex-officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he now works as a consultant with clients on the Middle East. “You would only need to add the detonator and the charge.”

After security camera footage appeared on social media Tuesday purporting to show one of the pagers explode on a man’s hip in a Lebanese market, two munitions experts offered opinions that corroborate the U.S. official's statement that the blast appeared to be the result of a tiny explosive device.

“Looking at the video, the size of the detonation is similar to that caused by an electric detonator alone or one that incorporates an extremely small, high-explosive charge,” said Sean Moorhouse, a former British Army officer and explosive ordinance disposal expert.

 

And it's likely the compromised pagers seemed normal to their users for some time before the attack. Elijah J. Magnier, a Brussels-based veteran and a senior political risk analyst with over 37 years experience in the region, said he has had conversations with members of Hezbollah and survivors of Tuesday's pager attack. He said the pagers were procured more than six months ago.

“The pagers functioned perfectly for six months," Magnier said. What triggered the explosion, he said, appeared to be an error message sent to all the devices.

Based on his conversations with Hezbollah members, Magnier also said that many pagers didn’t go off, allowing the group to inspect them. They came to the conclusion that between 3 to 5 grams of a highly explosive material were concealed or embedded in the circuitry, he said.

Pretty sure this attack saved many more civilians in the long run. Probably in the 10s of thousands. 

[jonnyutah 248]

The videos out there show how precise of an attack this was. That one in the grocery store, there are two dudes within two feet of him and they both are unscathed. 

Obviously not every single one is exactly like that, but these pro terrorist propagandists out there saying it indiscriminately put everybody in a 20 foot radius in danger need a bar of soap in their mouths. 

[Mike Honcho 5,097]

It's like Hezbollah didn't even watch the movie Munich.

How does this make Israel less safe? Did this cross some line  that a rocket/tank/bullet didn’t?

They say this every time. As if the only reason these people despise jews is because they are retaliating. If only Israel would just sit there and take it for a while the whole thing would die down and just go away. 

They are treating low IQ, inbred terrorists as if they are rational. I mean surely they cant just hate. No way could it be that Islamic peaceful geniuses are murdering fools. It must be that they were provoked.

Those pagers all went up to 11.

Poor Timmy comes in here defending Hamas. 

"Israel shouldn't do anything in response to Hamas because it makes it worse for them, not better.  Those poor terrorists and civilians!".  Predictable.

[IGotWorms 4,057]

It’s pretty bad ass but also, how is that not an act of terrorism?

Israel needs to get its sh1t together

I don’t defend Hamas ever. Or Hezbollah which if you paid attention you would know this attack was against. 
And I think Israel should take actions against both: But cautiously,  with an eye on the future, and with the attempt to avoid killing as many civilians as possible. Netanyahu hasn’t done any of this. He has fought this war the way our General Westmoreland fought Vietnam (look it up): stupidly, making things worse.
