| [NYPost] Hundreds of Hezbollah terrorists were seriously wounded on Tuesday when the pagers they used to communicate exploded around their belts and pockets. Hezbollah officials confirmed the wide-range attack on its operatives, including fighters and medics, with one member, speaking on the condition of anonymity, calling it the "biggest security breach" since it began its daily attacks on Israel on Oct. 8. Videos uploaded to social media show several incidents where seemingly unaware men had devices in their pockets blow up, with the victims crying in pain as bystanders ran away.
Lebanese officials said 2,800 people were injured and eight killed in what Hezbollah officials claimed was a hacking attack by Israel. The devices that detonated were all the latest models acquired by Hezbollah in recent months and distributed to its members, with the devices suspected of being tampered with, three security sources told Reuters. The terror groups’ leader, Hassan Nasrallah had previously warned his fighters not to carry cell phones, telling them they could be used to track their movements or carry out some kind of targeted strike. The terror group had switched from cell phones to pagers to communicate with its militants because of fears that the cellular network had been compromised by Israeli agents. The terror groups’ leader, Hassan Nasrallah had previously warned his fighters not to carry cell phones or pagers, telling them they could be used to track their movements and carry out precision strikes. Residents said the explosions continued to occur even 30 minutes after the initial blast. Although with the attack in Beirut, the Hezbollah official said pagers were also being detonated in south Lebanon. The Lebanese Health Ministry confirmed the number of dead and injured before Tuesday afternoon. | |

| #39 Mossad did for one big turban a while back by setting up a phone shop in Beirut with the best deals- and- service ever. When the target came in, they sold him a new out of the box phone, then faulted it. He brought it in for service, they planted a boom in it- then: Mahmoud? Yeah? That you Mahmoud? Yeah hey speak up … can’t hear you Kaboom! Memories…. |

| #35 Times of Israel says 20 gr of PETN placed along the lithium battery,and then 'pinged' them numerous times to heat them up. Some survivors said the pagers started to get hot, so they set the pager down. The pagers were handed out recently on order from Nasrallah, who was concerned the IDF could track cell phones. |

| #25 Security sources contacted by Clash Report confirm that Israel has planted explosives inside pagers supplied to Hezbollah. At least 3 types of pagers were planted with bombs: Motorola LX2 Teletrim Gold Apollo Rugged Pager AR924 Mossad planted a quantity of highly explosive PETN material on the pagers’ battery and detonated it by raising the temperature of the battery enough to detonate it, Sky News Arabia confirms. Mossad was able to access Hezbollah's pagers before they were handed over to them. That's how they planted them with explosives. |

| #7 Post in CTH this morning from an Iraeli in Israel on what they are hearing locally, with a video link " David September 17, 2024 10:11 am Israel Update: Something major is going on and I was habitant to post it as it’s not known exactly. Today Israeli Shabak (the Israeli FBI) published that they find explosives at Tel Aviv with an activation system that enables Hezbollah to activate it from Lebanon. It was directed at a retired senior figure from the Security Establishment (probably an ex-Chief of Staff). It was suppose to be a part of the revenge of the assasination of their Chief of Staff some months ago. At the same time there are lengthy meetings of the War Cabinet with Mossad and other branches. A senior person close to Netanyahu said : “We are mid a major event right now”. There has been a lot of talk between Israel and the US in which Israel said that we can’t continue the situation with Hezbollah as it is. Now, 9:15 US East time I am getting a wave of reports from Beirut Lebanon of the beeper communication systems of Hezbollah exploding and many Hezbollah people injured. Something very weird but images are coming of injured Hezbollah people all over Lebanon. It may be a preliminary step to a major war with Hezbollah. Apparently their communication systems were breached and there are over a thousand injured maybe some killed too we are still receiving new updates and a major panic going in Lebanon. This is likely a Mossad operation.

| #6 ^No, but Something else definitive then, or is it a closely held secret? Perhaps the pager satellite was hit by a solar flare? |
