Netanyahu approved pager explosions in Lebanon — Israeli media
PM Benjamin Netanyahu approved attack during security consultations with senior ministers and intelligence chiefs earlier this week, Israeli news website Walla reports, citing unnamed American officials.
Pagers, often used by civilians and healthcare workers for communication, are small, battery-powered wireless devices that receive text messages, audio, and visual signals.
Boy do I feel old now…
According to Walla, the operation "neutralised a significant part of Hezbollah's military command and control system."
This was the next sentence. My personal pity-party was subsequently cancelled.
A further linked article speculates that the pagers were rigged with explosives. As their main power source is an alkaline AAA battery. No crazy Mr. Robot hack, just regular depravity.
I mean thats all just according to the them. If we have learned anything about Israel, its that they like lying about the people they murder. There is already confirmation of civilian collateral damage.
At least this time around they were not targeting civilians, proving that it is possible, even for the Netanyahu regime. I don't have enough information to judge it yet (fuck Hezbollah, fuck Netanyahu), but there's at least little doubt it's better than what we've come to expect from Israel.
Now, time for my unsponsored content of the day: As amazing and hospitable as the Lebanese people are, their state is weak as fuck, their political system is a mess, and their economy is down the drain. There seems to always be several crises going on all at once in recent years. In this situation, non-governmental organizations tend to be the ones stepping up and filling the gap left behind by the state. If you are into giving money to charity, the Lebanese Red Cross would therefore be a good cause to consider. :)
