    Some were shocked to learn that Israel’s successful ‘Pagergeddon’ operation had been the work of a female intelligence operative under thirty. But they shouldn’t have been. Israel’s digital intelligence capabilities rely on the work of young women operating in arenas like Unit 8200 which monitors enemy communications, plants surveillance devices and puts together intel data to form a bigger picture, and Unit 414, the unarmed observers on the front line, many of whose members were killed and a number captured during the Hamas invasion on Oct 7. Women from 8200 and 414 had sounded early warning alerts about Hamas training...
  • Exploding Pagers Called "a War Crime" [semi-satire]

    Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 29 September 2024 | John Semmens
    Volker Türk, the UN high commissioner for human rights, called Israel's use of exploding cell phones and pagers to attack Hezbollah terrorists "a war crime. This unprecedented method of warfare violates both the expectation of privacy and safety one expects from modern electronic devices. Thousands of jihadis ultimately were injured, castrated, maimed, or killed in coordinated explosions. It also unreasonably endangered nearby civilians who were innocent of any aggression against Israel." Turk went on to deny that Israel's attack was justified by Hezbollah's repeated launches of missiles into the homes and businesses of Israelis, saying "Israel is unlawfully occupying lands...

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Palestinian American U.S. lawmaker Rashida Tlaib on Friday condemned as racist a cartoon published in the conservative magazine National Review showing her with an exploding pager - a reference to an attack this week against members of the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon. "Our community is already in so much pain right now. This racism will incite more hate + violence against our Arab & Muslim communities, and it makes everyone less safe. It's disgraceful that the media continues to normalize this racism," Tlaib wrote on the social media platform X. Tlaib, a Democrat who represents...
  • Ocasio-Cortez says office ‘tagged with blood-splattered signs’ after pager attack remarks

    Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said her House office was “tagged with blood-splattered signs accusing [her] of supporting terrorism” after she condemned Israel for a series of explosions across Lebanon involving pagers that targeted members of militant group Hezbollah. “Yesterday my House office was tagged with blood-splattered signs accusing me of supporting terrorism after I questioned the pager operation, which clearly runs counter to US policy,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote Friday in a post on the social platform X. “They must live under a rock to not know I don’t take well to bullies,” she added in. On Wednesday, Ocasio-Cortez posted on X...

    Leftists are losing their minds over a cartoon depicting “Squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) with an exploding pager, howling “Islamophobia” over the satirical depiction of the virulently antisemitic lawmaker. In what is being described as an “ingenious” operation attributed to Israeli intelligence, the pagers belonging to members of the Hezbollah terror organization were remotely detonated after a message was sent to the devices which aren’t as easily trackable as cellphones, causing a major disruption to the network that left hundreds badly wounded and reportedly claimed at least 20 lives. The cartoon which portrays the Muslim Michigan bomb thrower sitting...
  • REPORT: Hezbollah Pagers Were Individually Detonated, Attackers Knew Where Targets Were September 22, 2024

    YWN ^ | 9.22.24
    According to a report from Israel’s Channel 12, each Hezbollah pager that exploded was individually set to detonate, with those behind the attack having precise knowledge of their targets’ locations and movements to minimize collateral damage. “Each pager had its own arrangements. That’s how it was possible to control who was hit and who wasn’t,” an unnamed foreign security source told the TV station. The attackers reportedly ensured that only the person carrying the pager was harmed, sparing civilians who may have been nearby at the time of the blasts. Footage from the incident showed one man being killed by...
  • IDF Chief of Staff: ‘We Still Have Many Capabilities … Not Yet Activated’

    Breitbart ^ | 09/18/2024 | Joel B Pollack
    Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi addressed the possibility of war with Hezbollah on Wednesday, in the wake of electronic devices exploding in Lebanon: “We still have many capabilities that we have not yet activated.” Israel has not formally acknowledged responsibility for the detonation of thousands of pagers carried by Hezbollah officials and terrorists on Tuesday, nor for the explosion of hundreds of walkie talkies. Together, the explosions were responsible for about 20 deaths and over 3,000 injuries, and the destruction of Hezbollah’s communications system.

    PJ Media ^ | 09/21/2024 | Rick Moran
    It's just not fair, I tell you. Israel manufacturing pagers ordered by terrorists loaded with explosives is not fighting fair. They shouldn't have disguised the explosive. They should have warned the terrorists. Volker Türk, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, claims that the pager attacks using Hezbollah electronics not only "violated international human rights law" but also appear to violate international humanitarian law’s key principles in carrying out attacks: "distinction between civilians and combatants, proportionality, and precautions."As I said, Israel is not playing fair. They should have let Hezbollah blow up 3,700 Israelis to achieve the "proportionality" test of...

    Iran has banned pagers and walkie-talkies on all flights, local media reported Saturday, almost a month after deadly sabotage attacks on Hezbollah members in Lebanon which were blamed on Israel. “The entry of any electronic communication device, except mobile phones, on flight cabins or…in non-accompanied cargo, has been banned,” ISNA news agency reported, citing the spokesman for Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization Jafar Yazerlo. The decision came in the wake of sabotage attacks targeting members of the Iran-allied Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon that saw pagers and walkie-talkies explode in two waves on September 17 and 18, killing at least 39...

    On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Harris-Walz Co-Chair Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) stated that Hezbollah’s continuing “escalatory” attacks against Israel, “this striking incident where pagers and walkie-talkies were remotely detonated” in addition to the “ongoing ground war in Gaza” have all made it “harder than ever” to see the ceasefire deal that “President Biden very much urgently wants to get done” happening. But the Biden administration is pushing both Hamas and Israel to reach one. Coons said, “[I]t is heartbreaking how close we’ve come to a ceasefire and hostage deal. I know senior members of the Biden team are...

    And now, if we may have a few moments of serious reflection, I give you… a lament for Hezbollah. They’ve had a great run, those Hez-ballers. Yeah, while everyone else is sliding around third base into the Year of our Lord 2025, these fine young men of the Book Qu’RAN into a little trouble while trying to climb up out of the 90s. Popular Science is rating them “Most Likely to Get Retroactively Killed by Y2K”. Accuracy In Media What Is Happening At This Seattle High School? Pagers and walkie-talkies?

    The origin of the rocketry term Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly (RUD) is shrouded in mystery but it's just the funny engineer's way of saying the rocket blew up. What you've been witnessing in southern Lebanon these last several days is the Rapid Scheduled Disassembly of the Hezbollah terrorist organization, involving thousands of explosions instead of just one big one. The RSD got started last week with Israel's three-part virtual decapitation of Hezbollah's organization. That is, if "decapitation" is the correct word when exploding pagers removed Hezbollah bits a bit further down than their large heads. That was followed up, as I'm...
  • Israel's 'red button': Device blasts hit Hezbollah at critical moment, officials say

    jpost ^ | 09/23/2024 | JERUSALEM POST STAFF
    The device explosions in Lebanon last week were part of Israel's "red button" plan, designed to be activated at a critical moment for maximum impact against an adversary, current and former Israeli officials with knowledge of the pager operation told the Washington Post. The double round of device explosions that took place last week throughout Lebanon caused a high number of Hezbollah casualties throughout the country. According to the report, the plot was primarily part of Israel's long-term strategy to develop its "red button capability" to be prepared for critical moments. "A ‘red button’ is a concept for something you...
  • Iranian Muslim Cleric Says Israelis Had Supernatural Help to Kill Hezbollah’s Nasrallah

    The Israelis have astounded the world in recent weeks with several unparalleled feats of wartime ingenuity, most notably the explosion of thousands of pagers that belonged to high-level Hezbollah operatives. Topping even that was the elimination of arch-terrorist and media darling Hassan Nasrallah of Hezbollah, who had been in hiding for nearly two decades and was in a bunker sixty feet underground when the Israelis found a way to take him out. One Muslim cleric in Iran, however, is certain that the Israelis’ success can’t be ascribed to their ingenuity; he thinks they had some help. Help, that is, of...

    There is no legitimate way for Israel to take out a terrorist. The myth that Israel’s tactics not its existence is at issue died with the murdered Jewish families on Oct 7 and the Hezbollah terrorists taken out by pagers on September 17 and 18. No sooner did the encrypted communications devices handed out to members of the Islamic Jihadist group begin exploding than human rights experts and the UN began condemning the single greatest targeted attack on a terror group as a violation of international law. Those same organizations and activists had nothing to say about the Hezbollah rocket...

    “It's also been an imperative for us to try to make sure that this conflict doesn't spread." US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned Israel not to escalate its conflict with Tehran and the Iranian proxy group Hezbollah as it continues to respond militarily to attacks from both entities. “It's also been an imperative for us to try to make sure that this conflict doesn't spread. We are resolute in our defense of Israel when it comes to attacks it's receiving from Iran, from Iran's proxies,” Blinken told reporters on Wednesday morning before departing Tel Aviv for Saudi Arabia. “We...
