Pagers exploding simultaneously in Lebanon...

[BrynCartwright]

Thousands hurt and 8 dead from pagers exploding simultaneously used by Hezbollah members
...

It's a story straight out of the first Kingsman movie!

I haven’t read into it other than seeing the headlines, what’s the craic with that then?

Drones dropping bombs, exploding pagers, it's all different level now and costing innocent human beings thier lives. And it's just the start. All in a civilised society supposedly...

 

[Squarebear]

Astonishing.

Hezbollah apparently consider pagers a more secure means of communicating than mobile phones.

This is next level scary, though. Whatever next?

The West needs to take a hard line on support for Israel because this is further undermining the remotest chance of a ceasefire in Gaza. I'm not taking any sides but as a father I am aghast at the treatment of children in this unjust war.

Just seen some of the videos of some of the pagers blowing up in their pockets, and the numerous theories of how Israel (assumed) managed to pull it off.

Incredible stuff.

Reports say the pagers rang, causing the owners to put their hands on them or bring them up to their faces to check the screen.

All the videos and photos I’ve seen show injuries to legs (pocket area) or hands.

"Images of destroyed pagers analysed by Reuters showed a format and stickers on the back that were consistent with pagers made by Gold Apollo, a Taiwan-based pager manufacturer."
