Hezbollah Says Israel Orchestrated Exploding Pager Attack in Lebanon

Iran-backed Hezbollah accused Israel of orchestrating an attack that killed several people and left nearly 3,000 wounded across Lebanon, increasing fears of an all-out war. #iran #hezbollah #israel #lebanon #palestine #middleeast #worldnews #politics

Israel didn’t comment on Tuesday’s events, which left hundreds of members of the Hezbollah militant group injured. The two sides have exchanged fire on a near-daily basis for much of the past year, with tensions rising over the past several weeks.

A string of medical emergencies were reported after the mysterious explosion of thousands of pagers used by Lebanese people, including members of the militant group, on Tuesday afternoon.

USA: How would you tell if these people are terrorists?

Mossad: Hold my pager.

[ranjithshetty]

What was the Iranian ambassador doing with a pager?. 😂

[zanebrooks]

Pure genius. I wonder if it said "this message will self destruct in 5 second"

[Delta-bz]

So, the terrorists are mad because they got terrorized? 😂

[galdekel]

Israel pulled a fuc*ink James Bond move. That’s insane 🤯

[nigelbews]

Well you started it!.. lol, they won’t be playing on their phones for a long time!

[CarlosLopez-iyjr]

Bet they were getting page messages saying get ready for your 72 virgins 😅🤣🤣🤣

It was sent by Iran for Hezbolla cadre. Msgs were sent by the Iranian Ambassador. Where does Israel come in the picture? At this rate, all hurricanes, tornadoes & floods will be blamed on Israel!

Now that is what I call cybersecurity!!

[gbotouklah]

Tell Hasbollah to stop attacking Isael period.

[huahinservice]

That show up how incompetent these guys are.

[walterrussell]

Well, can you blame Israel? My TV broke.

Thank you because this is so much better than just dropping bombs. This is pinpoint targeting of Hezbullah. Beirut is a beautiful city, and most Lebanese people do not hate Jews or want to kill them. This is a totally different population, the target is Hezbullah not the people of Beirut. Beirut is not the Gaza Strip, different methods are applicable here. Israel does not want to turn Beirut into Gaza. There has been much cooperation between the Lebanese and the Sephardi Jews, we are more alike than we are different.

They brought it from china, now they blame israel🤣🤣🤣

[erichansen]

You can't operate a pager without a paging service provider. Who is the Hezbollah paging service provider?

[Jazzfestn]

Pagers were "Made in China"! Bwa ha ha!

[j.c]

The lord told the foolish not to harm Israel but they attacked Israel on Oct 7

[blackbeautifulandsmart]

As Malcolm x so eloquently stated “ “If you're not careful, the media will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing”. The ones they claim to be the enemy are not the ones you should worry about it the ones who make the claim we should be concerned about.

[MrRobPol]

What can be done to ur smartphone or Electric car.... think about that?

[koolkatfelix]

Weird warfare! Even pagers are targeted!
