BEIRUT, Sept 17 – Hundreds of members of the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah, including fighters and medics, were seriously wounded on Tuesday when the pagers they use to communicate exploded, a security source told Reuters.
A Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the detonation of the pagers was the “biggest security breach” the group had been subjected to in nearly a year of war with Israel.
A Reuters journalist saw ambulances rushing through the southern suburbs of the capital Beirut amid widespread panic. Residents said explosions were taking place even 30 minutes after the initial blasts.
Groups of people huddled at the entrance of buildings to check on people they knew who may have been wounded, the Reuters journalist said.

Yes, targeted malware caused their lithium-ion batteries to overcharge. Absolute genius.
Also a cautionary example. Once a trick like that is pulled, the whole world knows it, then the next time it’s used against you.
Act accordingly.
Likely they listened to and mapped all the explosions to know where hamas congregates.
Not surprisingly, some of the injured were in Syria.
Hospitals still receiving injured 3 hours later, and first reports of a few deaths.
This is nothing short of brilliant.
If so they would leave a mark....just saying
I am sure that the exact technical method used will come out. If Israel was able to detonate the pagers with the lithium batteries then everyone will freak out knowing that their smart phones, computers, cars and even their earphones could explode.
Pagers-aren’t they old tech?
Since they are all in the hospital the Mossad can now ID them for when they get out.
In the words of one of our latest and greatest, Gen. Patton, Mossad, “those magnificent bastards!
The trigger message: Trump 2024
Pardon my ignorance, but can someone explain how a pager can explode unless they were specially designed and charged with some explosives.
GENIUS
“How many injured at the White House?”
By my non-official assessment, at least as of right now, you’re winning this thread.
Ta ra da BOOM de ay.😎
Maybe the Mossad already thought of that...but good thinking!
Wasn’t there something similar taking out someone in Iran or Syria recently - clearly not of the same magnitude. Look at what Israel can do while we have to put up with bureaucrats who couldn’t manage to fight their way out of a paper bag...THAT is so old but I’m not ashamed to admit I’ve been around a long time.
It’s all fun and games until You get a pager notification from the Office of 72 Virgins that You’re now “First in Line”!
Or Pat Travers.
Quite literally! Well played =)
