DEVELOPING: Home Solar Systems Explode in Beirut, Lebanon Following Walkie-Talkie and Pager Blasts, Officials Say
Gateway Pundit ^ | 09/18/2024 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 09/18/2024 10:11:11 AM PDT by DFG

Lebanon officials are now reporting that multiple home solar energy systems have reportedly exploded in various neighborhoods across Beirut.

This attack follows closely on the heels of Tuesday’s pager blasts, which claimed the lives of 12 and left nearly 4,000 wounded in what is rapidly becoming an unparalleled security nightmare for the terrorist organization.

On Wednesday, walkie-talkies exploded simultaneously at various Hezbollah-controlled locations across the country.

Now, reports emerged from Lebanon’s Official News Agency detailing how home solar systems—often touted as the solution to climate change—were also going up in flames.

Al Jazeera reported, “Several blasts took place simultaneously, Hashem said, similar to what happened on Tuesday. “But this time, it was mostly walkie-talkies or radios [that exploded],” he said, adding that reports suggested that solar devices and some batteries in cars also exploded. Lebanon’s official news agency reported that home solar energy systems exploded in several areas of Beirut.”

The terrorists can do it to us too. Our government is a joke and aren’t on our side.

How do you like internet connected devices now? It may be time to unplug.

Be a shame if one or two rounds per thousand of AK ammo destined for Lebanon were sabotaged to explode

Your warranty is worthless because the solar installer already went out of business.

In all seriousness, solar makes more sense in the middle east. I'd still lean towards decentralized solar (not making the grid depend on it).

And I've read off and on that Israel has the ability to shut off parts of the grid in terrorist areas. So solar is attractive if you want to be prepared against that. Which, by the way, is similar to why I have solar. I have a healthy distrust of government, especially the Dims' war on energy.

Israel getting into their solar equipment during the transportation stage is impressive. At least for now, I'm assuming we're not talking about Israel hacking into their solar. Though I guess that's possible, but not probable. I would imagine the terrorists wanted their solar equipment to operate autonomously (read: not connected to the internet)

Those beautiful Mediterranean clay roofs. I saw one in Monterey, Ca. covered with solar panels. Makes no sense.

pagers, radios, and solar generators

What do these all have in common? Batteries.
These days, almost all of them rechargeable batteries.

Since I’m a fan of conspiracy theories (and also a huge skeptic of them, but it’s still fun to posit ideas), what if these devices aren’t actually being pre-loaded with explosives, but instead mossad or whomever have developed something like a microwave emitter that causes lithium batteries to exploded?

I suppose it is possible to just hack the software. If solar is connected to batteries which are internet capable I presume it’s possible to run an overload. Even if not connected to the internet, a friendly technician or installer could rig it somehow.

There was the story, made a Netflix show about it, of an Egyptian Jewish Israeli who infiltrated the Syrian government. He generously donated Cyprus trees to help the Syrian soldiers stay in the shade. The IDF then knew exactly where to target.

Blackberries and blackouts would do much to harm the movement and comfort of an enemy
