I read a ten year old girl died because she was sitting next to her father's pager when it went off.
Hezbollah Pagers Exploding?
- Thread starter MyTeamIsOnTheFloor
- Start date
That should teach them about buying pagers at Big Lots.
Thinking about the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand which helped trigger WWl and wonder about the role of attempted assassinations of presidential candidates, drone killings, exploding pagers etc. might be contributing to humanity having a large earth ending conflict.
Having been a pre teen during the start of the Cold War with both sides having the nukes to destroy the world several times over, I thought the end of the Cold War would result in
my dream of world peace actually happening.
My dream is beginning to look impossible in my lifetime with my great grandchildren never even sharing the dream which I once had.

I think this is most likely. They'd know the number for all of them since they set up the sales. Would be a simple thing to call all of them simultaneously.
I prefer if they used explosive material.
I do not carry that around.
I do carry lithium batteries, which I do not want exploding.

Battery by itself would not explode like these did. They used explosives.
I'm not defending Israel from a moral standpoint here. This is so novel, it will take quite some time to figure out if it was a war crime, or another type of crime, or maybe perfectly acceptable. But purely from an operational standpoint, you have to give Mossad credit. They are waging this war at a whole different level than their opponents.
And to think this all started with guys flying hang gliders with big fans into Israel
And taken by itself, that wasn't a bad move. Strategically stupid, of course, but operationally, it worked fine. But Israel can do things Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah can't even imagine.
And murdering hostages, which caused a body count that made Hamas lovers angry.
I remember when Japan killed 2,403 at Pearl Harbor and the whole world made the US stop the Pacific War after we killed 2,404 back. A real “We Are The World” moment.
and why not? stray Ohio cat got your tongue? Lib card rules?
If i understand this correctly, Hezbollah started using these pagers because the Mossad used a cell phone to pinpoint the location of a top Hezbollah official they assassinated.
So they switched to these pagers, which the Mossad loaded with explosives.
Thats diabolical. That’s like 12D chess.

If I find video evidence of a shoe phone, I'm gonna lose my shit.
It's a high level of professional competence. The adversary puts up a roadblock, and you figure out a way around it.
For the uninformed and if I’m missing the obvious I apologize in advance but why are they using pagers?
Because Israelis had previously used their cell phones for targeted killings of their leaders. It’s like something out of a movie.
Israel was tracking cell phones and were able to kill a top Hezbollah terrorist because of that.
Even if that isn't what happened, Israel has a good reason to make it the story. Dissension in the enemy is good even if it isn't for real reasons.
Pagers only receive data. You might be able to triangulate with cell towers down to +/- 50 feet. Cell phones have GPS that you can locate down to a couple of feet. Much less chance of collateral damage if calling in an airstrike.
According to Dinesh D'Souza and half this forum, cell towers can locate you with the same granularity.
Okay, maybe not half by number of unique posters, but perhaps half by volume.
I can only think of 3….which isn’t half but I’m also probably shortchanging by at least that many
Eh, you're probably right. I wasn't trying to be serious about the numbers. Just needling any of the three (or six or whatever) might read this thread.
I know….I am just killing time trying to decide if I need a beer or to just go to bed
Have the beer, offer your wife one, and then say “honey, can I talk to you for a second in the bedroom?”.
We’re past that part….its just, “do you want to screw”
Yeah. I really hope it wasn't a phone hack. If it was then the entire world would freak out knowing that anyone could be carrying a bomb.
For us it goes like this.
Me-“yawn” I’m going to bed. You wanna come lay down?
Her-“ok, after this episode.”
