You know whats even scarier? Out of the thousands of devices produced I bet none of them have gone through proper quality control and testing (because it requires documentation, which kind of goes against the whole “covert” thing), which means the failure rates are probably through the roof. This means that there are most likely dozens of unexploded devices still around filled with plastique. This means 2 things, 1st you essentially gave away military grade explosives to uncontrolled civilians which can be harnessed and reused for other malicious purposes, and 2nd if a media illiterate civilian doesn’t know to chuck their device in a tar pit, they will continue to walk around with an unexploded bomb strapped to their leg for a long time.
All in all, whoever came up with this Idea, should be gunned down in the streets like a dog. Or at least be prosecuted for every confirmed civilian death.
an 8-year-old girl and an 11-year-old boy are among the dead.
Great way to radicalize the next generation.
Children won’t be radicalised by that. Their parents would be. And people the age of their parents.
Terrorists being terrorized until more terrorists can terrorize the terrorizers.
It is the biggest “problem” of modern warfare. We don’t fight wars of conquest anymore because that tends to actually make other countries care (because those brown people have resources!). So we attack and then leave.
It is similar to why France and England (or China/Japan/Korea) were basically at continuous levels of war for hundreds (?) of years. Because when you roll up and kill a bunch of people and maybe steal a goat? The remaining people want revenge. When you conquer them and either ethnically cleanse them to nonexistence or integrate them into your society? They forget why they were angry after a generation or two.
I very much do NOT believe the world would be a better place with more ethnic cleansing and stealing of land. But we also are in a mess where retaliation between countries just continues with no real consequences to the people who are calling for the attacks. And the civilians just get rightfully angry when their kid is permanently blinded because she was looking the wrong way at the Lebanese equivalent of a Kroger.
And then you get the keyboard warriors who hop in decades (or even centuries) into the conflict, pick a side, and immediately say THESE terrorists are good guys and THOSE terrorists are bad guys.
Bibi and co need the endless cycle of hate and violence to go on so he can rob his own with impunity.
Terrorism.
I bet this terrorist group will be using pigeons from now on.
The pagers allegedly exploded their bombs by heating up the device. If this is similar Hezbollah should consider burning one piece of all of their electronics to see whether they explode.
As this story has developed it has become increasingly clear that this was a supply chain attack where explosives were inserted into the electronics
Wait what
The shit the Mossad comes up with and pulls off would be impressive if it weren’t to serve an appartheit State.
It also helps they can ignore the fallout from blowing up stuff with total disregard for international law or basic morals
