Israel Turns 1000s of Hezbollah PAGERS into BOMBS!
Video Summary
The Lebanese government has blamed Israel for the heinous attack, saying they hold the Israeli enemy fully responsible. The Israeli military hasn’t commented, but they have used exploding cell phones as a tactic in the past. One US official, speaking anonymously, said Israel informed the US about the attack after it was over.
The strange thing is that the pagers, which seemingly wounded a lot of people, don’t seem to have had a clear military objective. It’s unclear why the pagers were used in this way, as they seems to have caused more light wounds than serious harm. Some questions remain, such as whether the explosion was meant to be a message or to damage Hezbollah’s communication system.
A possible reason for the Israeli military’s use of exploding pagers is to send a message to the members of Hezbollah, saying that they are at risk and that Israel has the capabilities to target them. Another reason may be that taking out the pagers damaged Hezbollah’s alert system, which is used for communication between fighters.
As for the pagers, they were likely tampered with during the manufacturing process, which is a lesson for Western militaries. It’s possible that the supply chain of the pagers was compromised, and the explosions were initiated remotely. This is a common problem, where adversaries insert compromising aspects into technology. The Israeli military may have done this to send a message and to damage Hezbollah’s communication system, making it more difficult for them to coordinate attacks.
