2,750 Injured, 8 Killed, in Pager Attack on Hezbollah

[CountZero]

A Lebanese minister reported Tuesday that eight people had been killed and 2,800 injured in an apparent attack on Hezbollah members and fighters that targeted the pagers that the organization has been using for communications.

 Lebanon’s health minister says eight were killed and some 2,800 were wounded, including 200 seriously, in the pager blasts in Lebanon.Hezbollah has said that two members are among the dead. A young girl, the daughter of a Hezbollah member, was also reported killed after a pager exploded in her parents’ home.

 Images and videos on social media showed men with wounds to their abdomens and chests, presumably as a result of the exploding pagers, which detonated at roughly the same time on Tuesday.

 Reports speculated that Hezbollah may have discarded their other, more sophisticated mobile devices after Israel killed Hezbollah’s second-in-command, Fuad Shukr, in July. It is not clear how the pagers were hacked, and it has not been confirmed that Israel hacked them, but there was speculation that malware may have caused the devices’ lithium batteries to overheat and to explode.

 The Iranian ambassador to Lebanon was also injured in the attack. The son of a Hezbollah member of the Lebanese parliament was killed.According to reports, pagers also exploded in Syria as well, where Hezbollah and Iran conduct military operations.

Dan Bongino talked about this on his podcast yesterday. While I feel awful about any innocent bystanders being hurt or killed, I have no such feelings for the terrorists however. Monsters who engage in horrendous acts of terrorism deserve to be taken out.

Very clever --- Well done Israel .

Oh I forgot --- it hasn't been proven Israel did the deed.

    If the story is true . . . this is taking the use of drones technology to a whole new level.
    Someone deserves a bonus and promotion for this idea.

If there's more well-deserving group, I'm at a loss to think of one.

There are reports of another round of electronic devices 'sploding all over Lebanon today. This time it's not jus' pagers butt also walkie-talkies, fingerprint scanners even solar panel arrays. The Mossad has really upped its game. Pretty soon they'll force the muzzies to have to use carrier pigeons an' smoke signals to pass messages.

Skeet shooting is fun…who’s betting that carrier pigeon shooting is also fun.

Oh it is fun. A bunch of pigeons took up residence in my Grandpa's silo an' my Dad , uncles an' myself got our shotguns. We would wack the side of the silo with a stick of firewood an' blast them as they came out. I loved those type of family get togethers.
