The Exploding Pagers
-
Apparently hesballah already banned cell phones for its operatives as they were all getting hacked. So they switched to pagers and couriers.
-
No they had to add explosive to the devices. This was obviously a long planned event.
And beautiful. Bringing it to them personally in such a targeted way.

You like terrorism? We'll show you how it's done.
This is such a masterful stroke psychologically. Now none of those bastards will want to be carrying that technology.

I hope there was a 2 second delay between the detonation message and the detonation itself. Long enough for the terrorist to involve his hand in the explosion, not long enough for him to save his balls.

word here is people where all paged with some message, giving a few seconds to look at it, then....surprise...
unconfirmed report that the iranian ambassador to Lebanon also had a pager -
you gotta admit, its original. not strategically game changing, but letting them feel they are completely transparent to
IsraeliLuxembourg's intelligence (no official claim of responsibility here) -
its possible....strike while the irons hot

ANd while they can't coordinate their defense/response.
That’s a good point, I was thinking the reverse. Hezbollah planning a major offensive? Disrupt it by by blowing up their communications (and a few hands and crotches)…
-
wow! Crazy how that happened and how the Luxumburgese were able to do that.
