Hezbollah members were wounded in Beirut after their communication pagers exploded on Tuesday.

[JPost] Those sneaky Juice are very patient, efficient, setting this up long ago
Dozens of members of Hezbollah were seriously wounded on Tuesday in Lebanon's south and the southern suburbs of Beirut when the pagers they use to communicate exploded, security sources told Reuters.

A Reuters journalist saw hundreds of Hezbollah members bleeding from wounds in the southern suburb of Beirut known as Dahiyeh.

According to reports, the pagers were called before the explosion for some period of seconds to increase the chance that whoever received the call would pick it up and be maximally wounded. Shortly before the explosions, there were reports of a special meeting between Mossad Director David Barnea and Netanyahu.

The news comes only hours after the Shin Bet revealed that Hezbollah recently attempted to assassinate a top former Israeli defense official in Tel Aviv.

The situation is far from clear and developing, but given the juxtaposition in the timing and the last few hysterical hours in Israel about a security situation with Lebanon, did Israel just carry out only its second attack on Hezbollah in Beirut of the nearly year-long war in retaliation for the Lebanese terror group's failed assassination attempt?

The last time Israel attacked Beirut was on July 30, when it assassinated Hezbollah military chief Fuad Shukr in retaliation for the terrorists' killing of around a dozen Israeli-Druze in Majdal Shams via rocket attacks in the North.

This almost led to a full-scale war between the sides on August 25. Still, the IDF managed a preemptive strike that substantially reduced Hezbollah's ability to fire more than a fraction of the rockets that it had wanted to use to attack Israel, including northern Tel Aviv.

#2 NYPost:Hundreds of Hezbollah fighters wounded when their pagers all explode
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.

The security source added that devices were also exploding in the south of Lebanon.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military, which has been exchanging fire with Hezbollah since last October in parallel with the Gaza war.
Can you hear me now?

Text from the V Kontakte page of RUSSIAN SPRING

🇱🇧🇮🇱Israel Prepares for Counterattack: Number of Victims of Massive Explosion of Pagers in Lebanon Already Nearly 3,000

▪Almost 5,000 pagers exploded almost simultaneously in Lebanon and Syria.
▪"The latest model of pagers introduced by Hezbollah in recent months exploded, security sources said," Reuters writes.
▪One version of the causes of the mass explosion is a hack, when the protection board on the battery is disconnected and it explodes.
➖The second version is the import of pre-mined devices to local markets by Israeli intelligence.
➖The third version is a hack of the built-in self-destruction system of devices, built into Hezbollah devices in case of loss.
▪One of the victims is Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon Mojtaba Amani. He received a slight injury, there is no threat to his life.

#11 "It was unclear whether the ambassador was in the vicinity of someone carrying one of the tampered pagers or whether Amani was carrying one himself.

It was later reported by Al Jazeera, citing Arab media sources, that Amani's injuries were "superficial."

Translation: He had no balls anyway

#15 @9 One-way pagers are passive receivers.

Any device connected to a cellular network will necessarily regularly emit easily detectable signals.
