Now imagine what can happen with battery operated cars that can be remotely controlled………

[garretpattenaude]

Wait so the terrorists are complaining about terrorism?

[ChrisM-tnhx]

Sounds like someone's trying to send them a message.

The irony. Terrorists complaining that someone blew them up. Presumably because it robbed them of the opportunity to volunteer?

“WARNING”??
Who are you warning? What are you warning?
What does that mean??

[Jazzfestn]

I wonder what can be done to Hezbollah TOILET PAPER?!

[SanDra-zekr]

Incredible really, the stuff James Bond is made of. It’s Trojan Horse level warfare.

[Trevybaby]

The 1990's called. They want their pagers back

[dwaynedumonceaux]

That is scary stuff, but very sneaky way of using technology

[Lee.keebum]

The call is coming from inside the house

[SO-vqqd]

What about the 4000 ones that were injured?

[Teencat]

What does the WARNING in the title mean?

Also a highly targetted attack.... hope no innocent bystanders got hurt.

[foodhomedotcom]

WTF is a pager? You mean what we used in 1990s before phones?

[FlowKio]

Who owns this news station they seem to paint terrorists as victims 😂

[ezpzlemonsqueezy]

Who still uses pagers lol maybe groups that dont want to use devices easily compromised...

[m.b]

Smartphones can be hacked too and the battery can be overheated to make it explode

[harryshuman]

So Canadian government isn't worried this can happen in Canada?

[claystore]

So many comedians in this forum. Try putting yourself in other peoples shoes...

[davidascher]

Pagers today, cellphones tomorrow, what next, toasters?

[GOODJMR]

Iranian ambassador to Lebanon should lead this story.The writing for this is so bad.
Start off with "Hezbollah reports, " as if they're legitimate?
Cmon. Youre not a Lebanon news outlet. ❤

A reality, and yet, somehow more unbelievable than Jewish space lasers.
