Who still uses pagers?
The tiny electronic devices remain a vital means of communication in some areas - such as health care and emergency services, thanks to their durability and long battery life

Doctors
Israel could have taken out entire hospital staffs with this "technique". Hope they remain human and don't.
They (Israeli government) have murdered thousands of innocent men, women and children already without any remorse. Destroyed the entirety of Gaza.
What makes you think the Israeli government has any heart, sympathy or feelings at all?
Boo hoo poor terrorists got blown up
Its crazy how all those zero years old terrorists were operating. All in their cribs and their parent's arms and shit. Absolutely despicable. Glad theres a list 14 pages long of just zero years old dead terrorists.
^ This is how you sound, like a cunt.
What kinds of "heroes" and "freedom fighters" hide in schools and hospitals and use innocent people as human shields?
IDF
Israel actually use palestinians as human shield
Please elaborate.
I will let reports and videos speaks
Thank you for the links.
I've never heard of Haaretz and it's a news agency with high factuality if anyone else here is unsure.
Parroting the Zionist line doesn't make for a decent discussion.
You're absolutely correct. I have a shit take here
The kind that are left after the smart leader-y ones get shot or blown up.
Makes a lot of sense now.
The ones that don't want to die from an overnight bombing that lasts several hours? Israel isn't sending out soldiers to go door to door to find Hamas, they're indiscriminately targeting large areas.
Being inside of a building will keep you out of view and protect against some impact, so civilians and Hamas members alike are staying indoors.
Makes sense. How come NATO doesn't train Ukrainian soldiers to hide inside schools in hospitals when fighting against Russians back in the early days of the invasion? How come US military doesn't train to hide inside schools and hospitals when fighting other insurgents?
Russia was bombing civilian targets from the start.
Just like Hamas and Hezbolla... Crazy how similar everyone in that region acts, eh?
Boo hoo poor terrorists got blown up
Your name and comment just screams ‘’troll’’ but for the sake of it, I will respond and then block you since you got nothing good to comment anyway.
Your particular comment claims that all Palestinian, Iranian (and in general Arabian) lives are terrorists which is immensely wrong and a Zionistic view. Secondly, what do you consider a terrorist? Because if we look how Israel as a state was made and what atrocities they’ve done since 1948 up until 2024 (ongoing). We could very well consider Israel a terroristic state.
Now about the pagers that have been purposefully exploded by the Israeli state (government). It’s widely known that also innocent people (non-Hezbollah) have been wounded and murdered because of Israel’s terroristic action;
- How Israel Built a Modern-Day Trojan Horse: Exploding Pagers From the article:
Mohammed Awada, 52, and his son were driving by one man whose pager exploded, he said. “My son went crazy and started to scream when he saw the man’s hand flying away from him,” he said.
By the end of the day, at least a dozen people were dead and more than 2,700 were wounded, many of them maimed. And the following day, 20 more people were killed and hundreds wounded when walkie-talkies in Lebanon also began mysteriously exploding. Some of the dead and wounded were Hezbollah members, but others were not; four of the dead were children.
- Israel Blamed as Pager Explosions in Lebanon Kill 12 & Injure 2,800; Hezbollah Vows to Respond From the article:
Individual explosions occurred in supermarkets, cafes, houses and in other public places. Many of the injuries were sustained by civilians who were not carrying the pagers themselves, including at least two children who died from their wounds.
- Second Wave of Blasts Hits Lebanon as Hand-Held Radios Explode From the article:
One of the explosions happened at an outdoor funeral in Beirut’s southern suburbs, where thousands had gathered to mourn two Hezbollah fighters, a paramedic and a 12-year-old boy killed in the pager blasts.
“I saw stuff today that you can only see in movies,” said Hussein Awada, 54, recounting how he watched as a man attempting to clear the road for ambulances in Beirut was gravely injured when his hand-held radio exploded.
“It took seconds — the thing just blew up in his hands,” Mr. Awada said. “Maybe tomorrow lighters will explode, too. If you want to light a cigarette, it will just explode in your hand.”
Fires engulfed at least 60 homes and shops, and dozens of cars and motorcycles, including in the Bekaa Valley and the southern suburbs of Beirut, said the Lebanese Civil Defense, an emergency rescue organization. Both areas are known as Hezbollah strongholds. Ambulances clogged the roads, and some hospitals in southern Lebanon were swamped with dozens of wounded patients, according to Lebanon’s state-run news agency.
If you want to kill one another, go ahead. But what Israel (government) has done is (once again) a terroristic action. They murdered innocent people along the way without remorse. The pagers went off in cars, shops and such.
I will block you now, MY_ANUS_IS_BLEEDING@lemm.ee, since you are definitely not the kind of human I would want to interact with on the internet.
Bruh, you're literally defending a country who just made a bunch of people unwitting suicide bombers in a foreign country and injured thousands for political purposes. This is terrorism
You some champion of missing the point?
Those devices were bought by Hesbollah, for their soldiers to use, and were connected to a network they operate.
From what I understand about the attack, even if one of these devices made it's way into the hands of a doctor, it would have to be connected to the Hesbollah network to detonate.
Multiple electronics stores caught on fire. I doubt Mossad found a specific box that said “To: terrorists” on it and only rigged those pagers. They just don’t care about killing civilians.
My understanding of this is those pagers and the network they were connected to were only for use by Hesbollah.
Yet they killed children and were in mobile phone stores.
Not just their soldiers, civilian members of the organisation were also using them.
Bold of you to call them soldiers. For the Israel state or, I hope, government, they are all active/inactive terrorists. Yeah, 10 year olds, too.
I called them soldiers because that is the terminology the person I was replying to used.
Don't worry, that wasn't the point. I hope you didn't feel instigated by my comment. It wasn't my intention.
A lot of the pager victims were civilian, and calling zionists "human" when a decades-long war has long since surpassed the genocide threshold is insulting.
Not defending arab extremists either in case your us/them mentality couldn't tell and no, not all Palestinians are terrorists.
Seems unlikely considering only pagers belonging to Hezbollah had the explosives added.
Source?
Multiple news articles are saying this was a production level attack, on devices that were specifically ordered by Hesbollah.
It’s been widely reported, here’s a reuters source.
There isn’t one, because this is objectively not true.
There are many sources because it’s been widely reported. Here’s one: reuters.
Hezbollah, the de facto government of large parts of Lebanon, ordered the pagers and widely distributed them. Many of them went to civilians for legitimate purposes. It's unreasonable to suggest that these are fair targets because they were briefly in Hezbollah's control at some point along the chain.
widely distributed them. Many of them went to civilians for legitimate purposes.

Many of the casualties were not Hezbollah fighters but members of the group’s extensive civilian operations
They went to Hezbollah, as the person you are disagreeing with said.
They said “Seems unlikely [that pagers would be in the hands of doctors] considering only pagers belonging to Hezbollah had the explosives added.”
That article directly refutes that. It is heavily implied when you’re all saying “Hezbollah” you’re talking about militants. Again, it is unreasonable to suggest that workers, including doctors and nurses, that are part of the civilian arm of Hezbollah’s de facto government are fair targets in either morality or international law.
