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 Death Star is fully operational.”

You could be right. Energy weapon. The story of being intercepted and loaded with explosives could be just a cover to hide the existence of the weapon.

It was my first thought when I read the word “simultaneously” with the first pager event. Now we have possible incidental damage?

“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’m right in there with you... A satellite energy weapon. And the “Intercepted and loaded with explosives” narrative is a cover to hide the existence of that weapon.

The Solar issue very well could be unexpected incidental damage.

If solar is connected to batteries which are internet capable I presume it’s possible to run an overload.

If you want to get a bit more technical, at least based on residential solar technology in the U.S....

The inverters are connected to the internet. Not the solar panels. Nor the batteries. Thus, they're the part that'd be hacked into from the internet. The inverters are also the charge controllers. Thus, hacking into them can cause overcharging the batteries.

My inverters continuously read the volts and amps coming from the batteries to determine how charged they are. Thus, my inverters slow down the charging when the batteries near full charge. (Very much like the battery charger I use to charge my lawnmower battery.) Plus, the solar batteries have software on them (BMS = Battery Management System) to help throttle down the charging and discharging if necessary. In order to hack into my solar system to cause a fire, you'd have to hack into the inverters, trick them into charging more than the batteries can handle, and hope the batteries' BMS doesn't kick in to protect the batteries.

Of course, the terrorists may have had cheaper batteries with no BMS to protect them. Or Israel was able to intercept them physically during packaging or transportation like they seemed to do with the pagers.

This is the third salvo in the war that will come to the northern front.

Rather than carpet bomb like Gaza they chose to conduct a mass attack targeting Hez leaders and soldiers. This will avoid the photos of flattened buildings and therefore leave no propaganda points for the Hamas-niks.

” Or Israel was able to intercept them physically during packaging or transportation like they seemed to do with the pagers.”

I don’t think that happened in any of the cases and is just a cover story. This was an energy weapon:

“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.”

Did they sneak in and switch car batteries?

More bad news for Hezbollah - the manufacturer is saying this kind of defect isn’t covered by the extended warranty, and the extended warranty subscription is not refundable.

I think it’s safe to say the regular warranty doesn’t cover plastic surgery and transplants (but Kamala is promising it under Obamacare).

Count me more skeptical of anything Al Jazeera reports than I am even of the Dim media in the U.S. Especially this early.

I believe it is possible that car batteries did explode. They now make lithium replacement batteries for standard batteries in cars. That would fit the profile of all the other devices. Like someone else mentioned, all lithium batteries. Lithium is an explosive when in the proper conditions. An optimum energy blast designed to target lithium batteries would surely do exactly what happened.

Don't laugh. That profoundly stupid liberal twit Marie Harf once said that the Palestinians committed terrorism because of climate change. Yup. Rifat and the boy's are upset about ''climate change'' so it's time to start ''shootin' Jews''.

Allah is angry with the Muslims for using the technology of the infidels.

Ok, but thats the same link I posted. So the yarn site is still doing its own determination of whether it wants to share that image with an incoming link request or not.

We did that in Vietnam. Discover a VC ammo cache, replace a percentage of the ammo with ammo containing HE instead of powder, let the VC go back to their cache & blow themselves (and their rifles) up.

I’ve heard that it was done on Operation Fishhook, and other incursions into Cambodia and Laos. It brings to mind some of the sabotaged weapons that GIs found in Iraq. Nasty business, war....
