How is loading pagers and walkie talkies with explosives and letting them be in the hands of [View all] Rustynaerduwell Sep 2024 OP

The indiscrimination of it was proven out by the result. bullimiami Sep 2024 #1

Who loaded cell phones with bombs and let them float around till they kill someone? AZSkiffyGeek Sep 2024 #2

That has been my question also. Im told Israel diverted them and loaded them and Hesbollah never noticed Srkdqltr Sep 2024 #33

Those were pagers, not cellphones. tinrobot Sep 2024 #42

I would hazard a guess that Hizbollah won't anymore. MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2024 #49

The world is not the US sarisataka Sep 2024 #50

They used pagers because they can't be monitored and surveilled and tracked like cellphones. TheRickles Sep 2024 #52

Also read drs and nurses use pagers because cell phones can be spotty womanofthehills Sep 2024 #77

Mossad are very good at that sort of thing - and VERY patient AZSkiffyGeek Sep 2024 #48

That would be terrorism, has anyone done that? sarisataka Sep 2024 #3

I think the reference is to the pagers loaded with explosives that Israel sold to members of militant (terrorist) groups JT45242 Sep 2024 #5

No more certain they can be than that a bullet fired in combat only hits the enemy. nt LAS14 Sep 2024 #10

Actually this is more like an IED... ExciteBike66 Sep 2024 #45

It's been reported Israel also tampered with car radios womanofthehills Sep 2024 #96

Reported by whom? MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2024 #115

Because they were obtained through specific channels by Hezbollah. MineralMan Sep 2024 #12

They were distributed 5 months ago - womanofthehills Sep 2024 #79

You don't know that soandso Sep 2024 #88

Just reposting what's being reported womanofthehills Sep 2024 #97

Things are about to get much worse, I'm afraid soandso Sep 2024 #102

I doubt that Hezbollah members were giving out pagers intended for Hezbollah communications onenote Sep 2024 #92

Perhaps so. However, how would someone use a pager MineralMan Sep 2024 #120

Hezbollah uses pagers because cell phones are more easily tracked. If this was a bulk order placed by LauraInLA Sep 2024 #13

They were not sold by Israel sarisataka Sep 2024 #18

But wouldn't Hezbollah have noticed that the package was diverted and tampered with? Srkdqltr Sep 2024 #24

Apparently not. MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2024 #25

Wonder if they will leave a one star review... ExciteBike66 Sep 2024 #47

I agree that Israel is held to higher standards, but they're eroding... LAS14 Sep 2024 #16

Takes two states to have a two state solution...that would Israel and who? CincyDem Sep 2024 #38

That's part of what all interested parties need to work on. LAS14 Sep 2024 #55

Now just out of curiosity . . . Richard D Sep 2024 #44

See my reply #55. nt LAS14 Sep 2024 #56

Of course, Hamas is interested in a two state solution... MichMan Sep 2024 #113

I would say Israel is held to unique standards sarisataka Sep 2024 #46

I totally agree. nt LAS14 Sep 2024 #57

Another way to expand the war. Some forces in Israel seem to not want it to end brush Sep 2024 #82

Do you think Hezbollah is an innocent party? onenote Sep 2024 #93

Maybe if the IDF/Likud/Netanyahu hadn't obliterated Gaza and continued/continues to violently steal land in the... brush Sep 2024 #94

Most Definitely IF Hamas hadn't snuck into Israel Cha Sep 2024 #101

Maybe if HAMAs hadn't invaded Israel and inflicted horrors on Israeli citizens and others, MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2024 #117

See post 114. Maybe netanyahu should've reenforced the border when warned... brush Sep 2024 #118

Thank you for your informative post, Richard D. Cha Sep 2024 #99

Pagers and Walkie-Talkies. Not Cell Phones. MineralMan Sep 2024 #7

This is more targeted than drone strikes, which was touted as the most discriminating form of warfare. LauraInLA Sep 2024 #8

People have strong opinions on this Johnny2X2X Sep 2024 #9

I think this post is on target. Happy Hoosier Sep 2024 #15

As I said above, it is more discriminating than drone strikes, which were originally intended to avoid as many LauraInLA Sep 2024 #19

"a lot of civilians were harmed" -- do you have a specific link? onenote Sep 2024 #63

Agree with Johnny2x on this. Regardless B.See Sep 2024 #84

Terrorism generally targets civilians. Happy Hoosier Sep 2024 #11

There are videos available showing the pagers exploding sarisataka Sep 2024 #22

It was targeted towards members of Hezbollah. Elessar Zappa Sep 2024 #14

Nobody loaded cell phones with explosives and let them float around. MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2024 #17

BEEPERS were purchased by Hezbollah and given to Hezbollah members. Coventina Sep 2024 #20

Yes they were used by terrorists who happened to be standing in streets, markets, hospitals, etc. Nanjeanne Sep 2024 #21

I wouldn't consider this type of attack in the US to be terrorism if our government was allowing rockets to be launched WDLAL Sep 2024 #109

Tell me how posting false information is acceptable? MarineCombatEngineer Sep 2024 #23

Please, tell me. I'm sincerely asking the question. Rustynaerduwell Sep 2024 #69

Have the attacks stopped? Have the hostages been freed? TheKentuckian Sep 2024 #105

I would remind everyone that we are only a few laws and regulations away... OldBaldy1701E Sep 2024 #53

It's not terrorism. BannonsLiver Sep 2024 #54
