Israel Hezbollah/Lebanon War

[ghuns]

Some of the pics are ROUGH.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving bunch though.

I will just never understand the logic of the enemies of Israel. Haven't they seen Munich?

For those better versed in electronics, how could this possibly be done? It's not like the pagers all have Semtex in them, or do terrorists use them as remote grenades.

Iran gonna be big mad again…

Did a poor job. These numbers need to be reversed then it would have been successful.

How many lost their $LLs and no longer can reproduce?

I was wondering that myself. Most carry in their front pocket.
I did see a picture of a few that looked like that might have happened.

I want to know how this is possible. Like @Leadeye asked.

At first I thought they somehow switched out the units. Now I wonder if they somehow were able to remotely cause the battery to overload, assuming they are lithium Ion. But that seems unlikely for pagers.

I think it's clearly more explosive damage than could have been done with normal batteries, so my guess is they got a really good deal on some cheap beepers and decided to hand them out. To have compromised that supply line and then decided to add a little C4 to 1500-3000 of these things is crazy feat.

On X a few people suggest it might have been the work of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_8200

 

[BigRed]

I've got some time to kill.

Anybody have a list of the numbers?

 

[Bugzilla]

Like how everyone came to assist him! NOT

While plastic explosives like C-4 and Semtex are designed to be easily malleable, that's by design and controlled by the use of some type of plasticizer. Smart terrorists probably would have examined the pagers before buying them, but it's possible the plastic case itself was the explosive charge and never suspected.

I was listening to Amir he believes it was explosives inside or as you stated the case.
Israel hasn't said they did it yet.

I think it was posted earlier in this thread that a shipment of pagers was seized by Israelis who then planted 1-3 grams of explosives in them and rigged them to explode somehow, possibly when a certain code was entered after calling the pager.

I've got to believe that those guys are smart enough to check stuff that their procurement people get for them, at least a cursory inspection. Terrorists are survivors, the result of having few if any friends and a lot of enemies.

They say Mossad agents are in Lebanese hospitals getting pictures of all the leaders of Hezbollah.
