Some more numbers
Scores injured: At least nine people were killed and 2,800 wounded in an attack that targeted pagers held by members of Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah across Lebanon on Tuesday, according to the country’s health minister. Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon was one of those injured, according to Iranian state media.
Hezbollah blames Israel: The group said it holds Israel responsible for the deadly explosions, amid already increased tensions in the region. The Lebanese government also condemned the attack as “criminal Israeli aggression.”
No comment from IDF: The Israeli military, which has engaged in tit-for-tat strikes with Hezbollah for months, said it would not be commenting on the incidents.
Hospitals packed: At least 170 people injured are in critical condition, the health minister said, and many hospitals in southern Lebanon have exceeded capacity.

@LuFins-Dad LOL...
I don't think it can be really called "surgeries."
But gender reassignment is correct.

So the pagers were ordered from a company in Taiwan. This forum has a very brilliant member from Taiwan. Coincidence? I think not.

She also spent time wandering around photographing embassies. Folks, we have a Mossad spy in our midst.

Taiwan was just the shipper

Additional information about the company that sold the beepers to Hezbollah-
According to the Hungarian company registry, it turns out that the Hungarian company BAC Consulting KFT, which manufactured the beepers for Hezbollah, was only established in 2022 and reached a turnover of one million euros in just two years.
-
The domain was purchased in 2020, two years before the company was founded.
-
The domain previously belonged to another company.
-
The company's website is filled with generic photos. It claims to specialize in various consulting fields, including environment, development, and international relations. It is unclear with whom the company has worked or what its experience is.
-
The company's official address is a private residence in Budapest.
-
The owner of the company, and apparently its only employee (according to the website), is Cristiana Bársony-Arcidiacono, who has an impressive and maintained LinkedIn profile. However, it is filled with posts irrelevant to her work and not typical for LinkedIn.
-
She holds a PhD, but she has no Facebook or Instagram accounts.
-
There are only 3-4 pictures of her on the internet, which is very unusual.
-
The other employees listed in the company have strange names, fake profiles, or are actual people who do not work for the company.
-
Cristiana's LinkedIn profile was created in 2019.
-
Her picture is also being used by another company, suggesting it may have been a fake picture.
-
The other company also appears fake, and its phone number is disconnected.
The company's website was blocked this morning, now requiring a username and password to access.
Attempts to call the company or Cristiana have gone unanswered.You can go and do some digging yourself.

If there was a shell manufacturer, then there needed to be someone on the inside to direct Hezbollah to purchase from this company.

That still begs the question of whether it was a shell for Israel or for Hezbollah. Hezbollah can’t just call BlackBerry and order 5000 pagers…

And if it was Luxembourg, then they planned this and began implementing it well before current hostilities. And the turnaround had to be incredibly fast. Hezbollah switched from cell phones only a few months ago.

Allegedly the pager message sent right before it exploded displayed "555"

Somewhere I read that the message was 5318008 (but you had to turn it upside down).

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

The exploding pagers that wounded thousands of Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon Tuesday were reportedly detonated by a message impersonating the leaders of the recognized terrorist group.
Hezbollah militants all across Lebanon and parts of Syria received a message that appeared to be sent by the group’s leadership to their new pagers at 3:30 p.m. But in reality, the fake message was the trigger that set off explosives hidden in the devices, officials told the New York Times.
The message triggered the batteries inside the pagers to overheat and ignite the explosives, sources told Sky News Arabia.
Mossad allegedly intercepted a shipment of the Taiwanese-made beepers before it reached Lebanon and planted 1 to 2 ounces of pentaerythritol tetranitrate, a highly explosive material, next to the battery, along with a remote trigger switch, the Times and Sky News Arabia reported.
The devices were brand new, but it’s unclear when they arrived in Lebanon or how long they had been in use.

Very early reports. But right now it seems more unexplained explosions in Beirut.
