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.
This article assumes that all who were injured were terrorists and that no innocent bystanders were injured as well.
Your sympathy for terrorists noted, as in a couple treads today.
Now there is an interesting thought.
I was originally thinking they managed to sneak a small amount of Semtex into their devices but what if there is a way you can send a signal that will make the battery overheat and blow up?
Assuming muslims follow the Koran to the letter, doesn’t that make them all potential terrorists?
Nag - batteries can heat up and catch fire, but not explode like this.
The supply line was interdicted, either at the source or in transit. Experts surmise 10-20 grams of military explosives was inserted into each device, and detonated via some sophisticated signal.
God Bless the Mossad.
Sympathy? I state that nowhere. Your bias is showing, Lieutenant Calley. You're justifying using explosives without knowing if someone innocent would be holding the device or if someone innocent would be nearby when it detonated.
There are rules of engagement for a reason and violating them for expediency is unacceptable.

What comes next???

OK Greta
If they're all considered guilty, put the declaration of war on them in writing. Since that hasn't happened, it's criminal to target innocent civilians. Despite the Globalists' Communist agenda, individuals are assumed innocent until proven guilty.
If Allah wills it.... 🤷♀️
Can you imagine being the dude sending the detonate code?
What a blast...
Eh, not so much.

Ha ha - the irony of you calling someone else Greta. Scoldilocks believes everyone should suffer for the actions of a few.
On your way to a hospital in an ambulance? Too bad. You're stuck in traffic because Scoldilocks and her misfit cohorts decided to block roads in the name of their goddess Gaia and their mood-altering-medication manufacturers. If you die for their cause, well it's justified, solely because of where you were traveling that day.
Oh, please.
This was literally the most targeted attack in the history of attacks. Small explosion on a personal device, worn by terrorists.
Go back to Iran.
