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.

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.

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.
