We’ve recently read some heartwarming stories concerning terrorists in Lebanon being separated from their mortal coils as they were blown up by their own pagers. Israel had no comment other than (I'm guessing) Mossad agents giving each other high-fives for a job well done.

I'm not sure who had exploding pagers on their Bingo cards for 2024, but why not? As Bonchie reported earlier:
In one of the most unbelievable developments of 2024, Israel somehow hacked into the pagers and cell phones of Hezbollah fighters and caused them to explode. News of hundreds of injuries, including dismemberments broke on Tuesday morning. Shortly after, videos of devices blowing up began to circulate.
Israel can’t admit to blowing up terrorists using pagers, but everyone knows it wasn’t lithium batteries that just all-of-sudden blew up at the same time. It was carried out by a nation-state intent on ending bad guys. If they weren't ended, they at least lost the use of some appendages. Technology has been used to great effect, eliminating terrorists or terror infrastructure. In 2021, Operation Olympic Games destroyed a cluster of Iranian centrifuges used, no doubt, to forward Iran’s nuclear bomb program. It was a cyber bug planted by Israel and the U.S. Other terror plots were foiled, not by sophisticated logic bombs or technology but by just dumb luck – and I mean dumb. As in, terrorists can be really dumb.
Eight years ago, Sevdet Ramadan Besim decided he was going stuff the pouches of kangaroos with explosives, then paint them in Islamic State colors. Apparently he thought the 'roos would just sit there compliantly. He intended to set them loose on the streets of Melbourne. No, seriously, Besim thought that he could corral kangaroos and maybe convince them to jihad themselves for the “cause.” He got caught before any kangaroo could beat him senseless and disembowel him. But my favorite feel-good dumb terrorist story happened 12 years ago in Bangkok, Thailand.
Three Iranian nationals were plotting an attack on Israeli diplomats using “sticky bombs.” The botched plot started botching when the rented apartment of three inept terrorists went...“boom!”
In March 2012, the Bangkok neighborhood shook when the apartment exploded, and three bloodied men staggered out of the building. The terrorists (who I will code-name Manny Moe and Curly) went in different directions. Saied Morad (code-name Curly because his hair was likely curled from the blast) was a 28-year-old Iranian [former] soldier. Curly was bleeding from his ears to his feet. He was carrying what witnesses described as a backpack and two black boxes. The black boxes were devices with green wires sticking out of them. Bloody Curly tried to hail a cab. The cab driver, seeing a bloody man who was perhaps still smoking from the apartment blast, refused to stop for Curly’s hail. In response, Curly tossed a bomb at the cabbie. Kaboom!
Curly had one bomb left. As the police closed in, he tried to toss his last bomb at the cops. Fortunately, his sticky bomb got stuck on something, and it boomeranged back at Curly and blew up, with the blast removing Curly’s legs from the rest of his body. It also removed his right eye. The police arrested what was left of Curly. Unfortunately for Curly, he didn’t get his 72 virgins on that fateful day. He survived. Curly appeared in court missing his legs and right eyeball, but he was still able to raise a defiant fist in the air. His defense was classic: “I had no idea where the bombs came from." He was shocked, shocked to find bombs in the cupboard. Curly claimed he had opened the kitchen cabinet and instead of falafels, he found...bombs. RUN! he told Manny and Moe. Curly took the brunt of the bomb blast. Unlike Curly's legs, his defense didn't fly. He was convicted and sentenced to 28 years in prison. Manny and Moe were also arrested and sent to prison.
The story of Manny Moe and Curly doesn’t have a completely feel-good happy ending. All three were repatriated - sent back to Iran in exchange for an Australian woman who Iran had managed to nab and arrest on trumped-up charges.
One hopes that Israel continues to “allegedly” blow up terrorists using the terrorists’ own pagers. One hopes that Iran continues to send dumb terrorists out into the wild, only to manage to blow themselves up or manage, as was the case for Curly, to separate himself from his legs and eyeball.
Yes, that would include you. You might ought to post elsewhere. No sympathy here for that bunch. Sorry.
ALL of them? You're sure of that? You know exactly what each and every one of them thinks? How godlike of you.
May we all bow in your presence.
Apparently you were pounding your fingertips bloody trying the guilt trip thing on people. That will NEVER work with me. I posted my statement again, because you were too busy to read it the first time. I modified it to make it specifically clear to you. Especially if you're Palestinian, read it again.
“Many were hit in their privates.”
When Bongino played this video of the guy in the market, he was freely throwing around the words, “nuts” and “testicles”.
At least a lot of these folks won’t be procreating, and that ain’t bad.
Try a guilt trip on you? Don't flatter yourself and assume anything is about you.
“it’s criminal to target innocent civilians.”
Hiroshima. Nagasaki. Fat Man. Little Boy. Sometimes collateral damage is necessary for the sake of America and the world.
No, the insane hatred of the muslims for Jews keeps the foreverwars going. Your inability to reason here regarding the "What part of stop posting your garbage do you not understand?" reflects that attitude.
So much for rational discourse. That's a threat and a Federal crime when you do it online. That does not belong here on Free Republic. I recommend you ask the mods to pull your comment - NOW.
It was a joke. Wow, touchy touchy.
Looks like they are trained from birth to be guilty. Inbreeding hatred in every generation. Have you gotten enough attention yet?
It’s certainly not about showing any sympathy for you, your arguments or your people. Next question/statement?
Garbage? That's your opinion and I'm glad you have the freedom to express it.
Oh, and by the way, stating that innocent people could be harmed in such an attack is not garbage. Nice to know you think so little of innocent people - you know, the ones you include in the "all of THEM".
Did you attend, or do you work at, Columbia University by chance?
“May we all bow in your presence.”
Don’t forget when you’re bowing to scrape, too. Bow and scrape. Bow and scrape.
I recommend the mods pull YOU now. You’ve gone on long enough.
Spoken like Mr. Fauxi himself.
Let's not pretend it's for "the sake of America" as evidenced by how the Democrats are aiding and abetting terrorists invading our Southern border:

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/fbi-director-warns-dangerous-individuals-coming-southern-border/story?id=108024830
Joke? It’s a threat and doesn’t belong here.
The people around whom a member of hezbollah would be found are not going to be people who will be of outstanding character and concerned about human causualties around those they target. Never have been concerned about that.
You can ask that it be removed. Go for it.
I've gone on long enough? That's your grandiose opinion. I do agree you are entitled to it though.
My apologies for intruding on your domain. I didn't see your name on it; I must have missed it in there somewhere.
You're consistent with the arrogance though - just remember that YOU commented to me. Feel free to not insert yourself into others' conversation.
