    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.

      Some reports are saying that over 1000 were injured.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        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.

          @jon-nyc I’d bet the IDF thought of that. Hope so anyway.

              you gotta admit, its original. not strategically game changing, but letting them feel they are completely transparent to Israeli Luxembourg's intelligence (no official claim of responsibility here)

                It would seem that the time to do this would be <24 hours before a major escalation.

                Any bets?

                      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)…

                              Y'all are missing the obvious...

                              If there was any doubt about who was who, the Israelis just created a wonderful hunting list. My goal would be to eradicate every one of them in six months.

                              “Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”

                              Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton
