What happened in Lebanon today was not just an attack on Hezbollah. Pagers used by doctors and workers also exploded injuring dozens. A 10 year old child was killed and many children and civilians were injured.
Who are you going to charge? And in what court? For one to think Israel did this alone you had better rethink that if they are involved they weren’t alone

@@aussieaussie4471 two children were killed, as well as other civilians. This is a disgusting terrorist attack and jokey comments about it are sickening.
Calling nation states terrorists does the same thing as calling critics of zionism antisemetic. It makes the words hold far less power than they should and undermines the credibility of the accuser.
Leanne - WRONG It was not an indiscriminate attack was it? It targeted ONLY Hezbollah pager owners. I don't see one message of criticism of Hezbollah by you after they killed 12 children who were on a football field.
If the exploding lithium battery hypothesis turns out to be true, well then, we are all watching these videos on our own personal bombs we are carrying around with ourselves.

It's not true and never was true. It's just nonsense spread by ignorant people. These were tampered pagers with an explosive charge, even Hezbollah have admitted this.
As a chemical engineer who previously worked with battery technologies, I can say that batteries in our personal devices do not have enough energy to explode in the way seen. They would never have been allowed if this was possible. Explosives were inserted into the devices.
As a chemical engineer who currently works with battery technologies, I can say that the batteries in our devices absolutely have enough energy to explode in the way seen. Explosives were not inserted into the devices
Your mobiles go through Security Control screening. The technology used will be provided and likely the Airport Security teams look for stuff like this.
To start off with first pagers are radio receivers only and can't be tracked they will have a low power draw on there batteries, so this will leave room to put in a smaller capacity battery and what ever else was added, with these pagers that were being used it'll be interesting to know how often they were recharged compared to a non tempered pager of the same model.
Legality of attack? What about daily indiscriminate rocket attacks against civilians? Would the English tolerate Ireland doing that. I seem to remember a heavy handed response to IRA bombings
Answering a question no one's asked, bit desperate. Religiosity, particularly in the west tends to decline with economic development, so your point is mute
You mean the time before Israel ethincally cleansed Palestinians and forced them to flee to Lebanon which contributed to the shift towards a Muslim majority and refugee crisis
"There is a serious issue, as to the legality of this attack." That is the jaw-dropping headline to this LBC broadcast. In the description.. the awesome gaslighting continues.. "Israel has been BLAMED for a TARGETTED attack on Hessbollah members, using TINY amounts of explosives." NO!!!! There is no issue of legality. This was the single, most unprecedented, indiscriminate Terror attack ever witnessed. If you have a mobile phone or a pager YOU are a potential target.

This question is valid.
Many Hezbollah have political roles there not all “terrorists”. Kids an 8 yr girl 11 yr old boy have all been killed?? Many men women & children, not all were soldiers. Are these just collateral Damage. Imagine if this had been Russia & China, Iran you would call it terrorism. But as Israel has done it it’s just a tactic of war. This has now opened up to the rest of the baddies in the world that if it’s ok for Israel it’s ok for them. Imagine if this had happened to people on a plane!!!!!
My thoughts too.
It was a phone.
He had a minor, superficial injure...which probably means he was in the vicinity if someone who had a pager
Only if you’re a little baby who doesn’t understand how the world works 😂
Another nail in the coffin of Israel. 6.5 million Jews surrounded by 300 million very angry neighbours getting more advanced military almost weekly.
It has ever been thus. This is just another episode, until the neighbours recognise the Is. right to exist.
@@markprice74880 years with 1000% US backing has not forever been thus
Anyone who retaliates to Israel is just a terrorist. Israel is the only govt allowed to defend itself. Mind numbing and frankly scary what they get away with. No repercussions. Unchecked. Scary…
Really rubs you the wrong way does it, Jews not wanting to die.
@@Tamarlane389 Ah of course someone with "Tamerlane" in his name claims that the US has supported Israel for 80 years
Here a quick educating lesson: It started in the late 60s after France dropped its support in favour of Syria and Lebanon.
The Egyptian, Jordanian and Syrian Air Forces were decimated by Dassault planes in the 6 Day War, not US planes
Legality? Really? Does that apply to Israel?
And no one condemning Israel for this terrorist attack on civilians
Evidently, you are unfamiliar with the barbarities committed on Oct 7th.
@@Job-y8o The IDF killed a bunch of people at a music festival because Hamas was there. Its actually not possible for Hamas to have caused that much damage
No prove Israel did this
@@Job-y8owhat does that even mean? You know throwing that around in this way just weakens your position.
@@Job-y8o You do realise Hezbollah are in Lebanon and had nothing to do with Oct 7th.
yes, they are phenomenally sophisticated... Why is no talking about how Israel knew about the Oct attacks in advance, or even facilitated them? get real people
Legality?! Do they actually know the definition of this word... They haven't been doing illegal actions for almost one year. And please, don't start with "they started first"... My answer will be "1948".
1948 what?
they recently killed 12 children in Mgdel Shams, a married couple too.. 100,000s evacuated for a year and are refugees houses ruined, business ruined.. then my answer will be 1947, 1946, 1929.... 70 and so forth
Okay
1920
they started first, and Israel teaching them a lesson that will echo in the middle east or ages.
the truth will set you free, and I know how much you hate the truth.
@@robbo8074 the nightmare of the Palestinian!
A suspected hezbollah militant. Pagers were also carried by ambulance drivers.
What happened in Lebanon today was not just an attack on Hezbollah. Pagers used by doctors and workers also exploded injuring dozens. A 10 year old child was killed and many children and civilians were injured.
If this were true we would have heard of 1000s of doctors and nurses victims.
Where did you hear
ead that? It is not true - total fake !!!
Fake.
@@meirharel4258 You're fake.
Say goodbye to taking electronic devices on International flights!
A 9-year-old girl was killed in this terrorist attack by I$rael.
LOL. The other shills were saying it was a 10 year old. Yall need to get your lies straight.
How many children were killed on Oct 7th?
@@bucksboy20 1 was.
@@HedgehobbitSo she was 10, so?
October 7 was allowed to happen by Israel so they could pursue their barbaric aims
Who is the enemy now? The state or the terrorist created by the state?
It’s called WAR!!!
Who are you going to charge? And in what court? For one to think Israel did this alone you had better rethink that if they are involved they weren’t alone
What if if one person carrying had been on passenger aircraft……
They're talking too much for something obvious
Lebanese civilians were using these pagers too
Yeah that’s concerning to me. These could have been bought and sold many times over without much indication of second-hand owner identities
How many of them were directly affected? My guess is none ad they would not get that message from Hzb isn't it.
@@johndoe-vc1we tf are you talking about. There are tons of reports of injured civilians
An interesting take, the technical line on how they committed a terrorist attack, rather than it was a TERRORIST attack.
They are not victims!
So the reported civilians killed or injured are guilty too I guess....as yourself, if this had happened in reverse, would you still fill the same
An act of terror.
Israel have had to have help from the Telco company
Oh your silly conspiracy theories!🙄
“There is a serious consideration as to the legality of this attack.”
NO KIDDING, SHERLOCK.
Surely this is a war crime! And the US still shamefully unconditionally supports Israel not only that defends the indefensible. A 12 year old girl was murdered by one of these pagers. Where is her justice?
Go back to October 7 who started this war
How come a 12 year old girl had an Hezbollah pager?
@@bucksboy20 she didn’t need to have one she only need to be in the facility. These were pagers also brought into the country not purely for Hezbollah.
was killing Osama also a war crime?
@@fujinaraphoenix9351 56 years of occupation started this.
Major Tom calls the Lebanese terrorists, doesn't call the real terrorists, terrorists. Strange era.
They should go for Russian, Iran or China products.
someone said before the pager exploded, said "Allahu Akbar"
Nah the isrealis shouted out we are gods chosen terrorists
Haznoball, now haznoballs
we always hear about their so called " capabilities " but we dont see them actually do much
😅😅😅😅😅
Sick comment considering children were killed in the attack
@@doggieclaude I hope not!
@@aussieaussie4471 two children were killed, as well as other civilians. This is a disgusting terrorist attack and jokey comments about it are sickening.
Calling nation states terrorists does the same thing as calling critics of zionism antisemetic. It makes the words hold far less power than they should and undermines the credibility of the accuser.
Indiscriminate attacks are against international law but of course the genociders are exempt!
Do you use Hezbollah pager?
thanku
Yes they are as the media always take their side
This is penocide
Leanne - WRONG It was not an indiscriminate attack was it? It targeted ONLY Hezbollah pager owners.
I don't see one message of criticism of Hezbollah by you after they killed 12 children who were on a football field.
I am a bit confused why Lebanon seems unable to stop Hezbollah from firing rockets. Do they have no control of their territory?
The Lebanese Army does not fill a bus!
If the exploding lithium battery hypothesis turns out to be true, well then, we are all watching these videos on our own personal bombs we are carrying around with ourselves. Before long dozens of organizations both government organizations and non-governmental will be able to figure out the same technology. 5 years from now these bombs might be going off everywhere.
It's not true and never was true. It's just nonsense spread by ignorant people. These were tampered pagers with an explosive charge, even Hezbollah have admitted this.
the batteries didn't explode it was the explosive charge fitted next to the battery after mossad intercepted them
These pagers were tampered with by Mossad and filled with explosives.
As a chemical engineer who previously worked with battery technologies, I can say that batteries in our personal devices do not have enough energy to explode in the way seen. They would never have been allowed if this was possible. Explosives were inserted into the devices.
As a chemical engineer who currently works with battery technologies, I can say that the batteries in our devices absolutely have enough energy to explode in the way seen. Explosives were not inserted into the devices
No condemnation from the western governments.
You seem to forget that this will be reverse engineered so that's the end of phones on planes.
Your mobiles go through Security Control screening.
The technology used will be provided and likely the Airport Security teams look for stuff like this.
What a operation will go down in military history
Legality! Its a fcking war
Yes and there are crimes of war. So legality is important
@cwhit0110 And yet the likes of Hezbolah, ISIS, etc, etc....don't follow those rules. This is War. It is what it is. 🤷🏽♂️
This is the literal definition of terror
@@owentr3svall3s68 My replies are being deleted....
It's not the year 1400, its 2024, there is such thing as war crimes.
To start off with first pagers are radio receivers only and can't be tracked they will have a low power draw on there batteries, so this will leave room to put in a smaller capacity battery and what ever else was added, with these pagers that were being used it'll be interesting to know how often they were recharged compared to a non tempered pager of the same model.
Since when has the Israel government cared for international law
International Law is haram
Since when has anyone in the middle east cared for anything except terrorism? "International law" in the middle east! LOL
Legality of attack? What about daily indiscriminate rocket attacks against civilians? Would the English tolerate Ireland doing that. I seem to remember a heavy handed response to IRA bombings
Ya, I remember Lebanon back in the early 1970's when Lebanon was mostly a Christian country with booming economy.
It's been bad since then.
Oh the religion of hypocrites?
Answering a question no one's asked, bit desperate. Religiosity, particularly in the west tends to decline with economic development, so your point is mute
You mean the time before Israel ethincally cleansed Palestinians and forced them to flee to Lebanon which contributed to the shift towards a Muslim majority and refugee crisis
Sounds like Hezbollah are singing from Putin's "Red Line" hymn book.
🤦🏼♂️
Why are we getting information from people who don't understand basic physics involving batteries
"There is a serious issue, as to the legality of this attack." That is the jaw-dropping headline to this LBC broadcast. In the description.. the awesome gaslighting continues.. "Israel has been BLAMED for a TARGETTED attack on Hessbollah members, using TINY amounts of explosives." NO!!!! There is no issue of legality. This was the single, most unprecedented, indiscriminate Terror attack ever witnessed. If you have a mobile phone or a pager YOU are a potential target. Do YOU think it should be legal to boobytrap YOUR phone with a TINY amount of explosives?
