Lebanese girl becomes most notable victim of pager blasts

If anyone else did this, it would be universally recognized as a heinous act of state-sponsered terrorism.

If iPhones had explosives planted in them straight out of the factory and would've went off in New York all at the same time, injuring thousands and endangering people around them, the 24/7 news cycle would've already called for total annihilation and what not.

I get going after your ‘enemy,’ but this is even worse than firing randomly into a crowd of Palestinians. They pushed a button not knowing who would die. This is low, even for them.

I can’t even think of a devil’s advocate argument for this.

Israel continues doing bad things. Not much of a shock.

Truly the depravity of Israel knows no limits.

It seems they did learn some stuff from WW2.

I am quite shocked after reading the comments. There are some people who believe Israel are the victims, after all what Israel did this past few months.

I have a some question(s).

Did all pagers in Lebanon just explode or was it only targeted pagers of terrorists that exploded? where they rigged with explosives? how can such a small device in the hands of so few people hurt so many people if they were not rigged with explosives? Was it only terrorist using pagers or is this still a thing i Lebanon?

I wonder about the technical part of this.

Was it timer based?

Was it based upon which number sent a message?

A lot of the ideas I have would require a huge technical operation, instead of the "just added explosives" angle.

I would say it was the Iranian Ambassador but apparently not, what do I know? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

This is the point I keep making. Nevermind whatever else is happening in a war - but there's no need to bring children into it. Whichever side does so - that's the wrong side.

Lmfao this attack is aimed at nailing terrorists. Well lookie there. Lemmy you never let me down

No way this is a tergeted attack.

Reported as a biased source and MBFC backs that up... when talking about Turkish issues, they are very pro government.

As this doesn't readily involve the Turkish government, I'll allow it.
