How much more sophisticated and secretive can you get. People will be talking about this for decades.

[brokeindio]

Turns out, suicide pagers are effective against suicide bombers

[VarunStream]

Apparently, as all the pagers were under warranty, Israel has offered to replace them.

Nobody ever said being a terrorist was gonna be easy 🤕

I am a retired surgeon and I used the pager all the way until my retirement late last year. It was small, easy to carry, non-obtrusive, works for weeks to months with batteries and LOUD. It was the only device that I could hear in a noisy shopping center or one that could wake me up from a deep sleep. A cellular phone just can't do that and I didn't want to keep it on all night, every night.

when stone age meets modern outcome is expected

[LooseyGoosey]

These pagers are still under warranty and will all be replaced free of charge (actually not entirely free of charge)

[khoi]

Israel is excellent at sending a clear and devastating message!

[swaldron]

No wonder Lebanon still stuck in Stone Age.

[alwaysready]

Pagers are about to be banned on airplanes.

[stephenkern]

Blamed Israel?? You mean credited Israel!

[Wthcdoctor]

ACTION ITEM: Lebanese civilians should consider physically distancing themselves from Hezbollah operatives.

[normnielsen]

Now we need names and addresses of all those seriously injured that were rushed to hospitals today. I bet Mossad is logged in.

And the final page that was sent to activate the device: “Pork, It Does A Body Good”

[onedegreewest]

Fighting terror with terror. I bet they are sh*tting themselves!

[blownupdogsify]

It is the will of Allah, why are they blaming Israel

[JD-xhex]

nice to see someone give a clear and detailed assessment of what happened, and how it could have been actioned.

[vstar]

This clown has no clue how the Israelis pulled this off.

Pagers were taken in transit between supplier and end user
