The explosions look too small to really kill a person or even maim them but I guess over a thousand members getting hospitalised is a big hit to their morale. Hezbollah is getting humiliated hard and I assume it also shows that Israel knows everything they do.
I believe it’s a show of force more than anything. If they managed to infilitriate this deep into Hezbollah who know what else they have on them… Taking out 1200 pagers is a massive security breach on Hezb’s part
Edit: Number updated to at least 2750 injured and 9 dead.
I’ve seen a lot of wild stuff but this takes the cake by a mile. The level of planning and logistics needed for something like this are insane/ you need to be insane to do it. The collateral damage alone is enough to make most second guess this ( currently the only public deaths are kids that where playing/ near them when they went off)
The paranoia in Hezbollah ( AoR at large) must be off the charts. It’s a massive intelligence failing and I bet everyone in the region checking their phones now.
Amit Nakesh and Eli Copter strikes again. Hezbollah really needs to up their game if they wanna be really formidable, considering the number of threats they make on a daily basis, but what can you expect from terrorists.
Other than morale, deterrence and other possible strategic goals mentioned here already, the main tactical value of this move is compromising Hezbollah’s communication network.
Why are they using pagers in the first place? They ditched phones due to fear of Israel bugging them, and moved to pagers.
Now, that they saw what Israel can do to their pagers, they need to think up of a new method of communication, somehow obtain it, and finally implement it. Until that happens Hezbollah’s whole military structure will be chaos.
Fuck Hezbollah and Israel. Two sides of the same coin
General consensus is we’ve avoided a full blown war between the two and I hope it stays that way
Israel is capable of precision targetted strikes. But when we’re talking about Palestinian refugees in tents, suddenly only 2000lb bombs will do for some reason. Definitely nothing to do with genocide /s
Was it some form of an EMP attack to render all means of communication used by Hezbollah useless? If so, this has got to be one of the most important plans by Israel / USA / EU / UK, whoever made it.
Now that the existence of this tactic has been made public, couldn’t Iran and its partner use the same tactic against Israel?
Just saw another article mentioning this, this one from times of Israel does not mention the injured medical staff.

Meanwhile: an elaborate plot to put explosives in pagers and let Hezbollah distribute it themselves, knowing they are too stupid to check for them in their fervent desire for a new status symbol.
This is like something out of one of my Japanese animes or vidro game. All that’s missing is a video broadcast from the culprit explaining exactly how he pulled it pff
First the destruction of their missiles before they can be used and now the infiltration of their organization to deliver personal mini bombs to everyone in the organization important enough to require a pager. Hezbollah is going to become a laughing stock in Lebanon and their “political party” will hopefully take a giant hit . Keep it up Israel.
This is insane cyber capability. Just blow up the entire fleet at will. Obviously, this can be done with cell phones as well with a larger boom. Anything with a lithium battery in it has a BMS circuits whose entire job is keeping precise conditions in order so that the battery does not explode. Reprogram that BMS circuit and you have a clandestine explosive with significantly more energy than a pager
>there will be no weapons or authority in Lebanon other than that of the Lebanese state.
The UN resolution was agreed by both sides but never implemented from Hezbollah side, which did not disarm but also continued the aggression and the arms build up.
Terrorist sympathizers can’t stop taking Ls. This so called infantada keeps finding new ways to get humiliated by a nation they outnumber by several orders of magnitude 😂
Great execution by the IDF I must say.
Like straight out of a Hollywood spy movie script.
Conspiracy theorists are about to go nuts. Jew explosives in my phone!!
Pretty neat attack, but both sides are absolutely losing it in these comments, holy shit. People just can’t seem to keep this shit in perspective. None of these guys are clean, and all sides involved are absolutely horrible. Israel, Hezbollah, Palestinians, Iranians, etc – absolute shits. Just enjoy the show people.
