File under: Hezbollah

#1 Al-Mayadeen, citing European security sources, reported that Hezbollah's Operation Arbaeen against the IDF's Unit 8200 intelligence headquarters at the Glilot base on August 25 resulted in the death of 22 IDF soldiers and the wounding of 74 more.

That's a lie.

#5 Deliciousness from Skidmark’s Russia Today link:

On September 17, a series of explosions rocked Lebanon, as pagers used by the militant group Hezbollah for communication were detonated. The blasts occurred in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a stronghold of Hezbollah, as well as other parts of the country and Syria. According to Reuters, the explosions lasted for more than half an hour, claiming at least 12 lives, including the ten-year-old daughter of a Hezbollah member. Thousands were injured, including Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon.

The next day, Lebanon witnessed another wave of detonations, this time involving communication devices and equipment installed in cars and motorcycles, as reported by Al Hadath. The explosions occurred in Beirut, southern Lebanon, and the Bekaa Valley, leaving around 100 people injured and at least three dead in the town of Sohmor.

Al Jazeera confirmed that the blasts were linked to portable devices used by members of Hezbollah. Iran’s Press TV added that radios and ICOM communication devices were among those that exploded. Al Hadath also reported that laptops and equipment installed in vehicles were destroyed, some of which were unrelated to communication devices. A security source told Reuters that the portable radios were acquired by Hezbollah five months ago, similar to the pagers that were also sabotaged.

As reported by Reuters and AFP, one explosion occurred near the funeral of Hezbollah fighters who died the previous day. According to Al Jazeera, the explosions were also heard near Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut. Videos shared online show burned-out cars and destroyed scooters and motorcycles. Witnesses said the devices made strange noises and vibrations before the detonations.

Hezbollah issued a warning to Lebanese citizens, urging them to dispose of all gadgets and electronic devices

So the entire country — plus, probably, the Shiite sections of Syria and Iraq — are incommunicado except for in-person gossip? Kudos to Mossad and Unit 8200.

#6 Well, Mohammed didn't have a pager, cell phone or walkie talkie. So Israel is just helping Hezbollah get back to the good old days.
