Walkie-talkie blasts: attacks on Hezbollah kill 20 as Israel says military focus shifting north

They are know detonating Hezbollahs walkie talkies.

What Hamas did on 10/7 was indiscriminate...this was TARGETED at HEZBOLLAH TERRORISTS.

Still killed an 8 year old girl, though.

By now, most hezbollah members probably have divested themselves from all electronics. Which is of course a success for Israel, too.

Sad but that happens. She would still be alive if Hezbollah left Israel alone...

Hezbollah pagers: How did they explode and who is responsible?

I'm not surprised that supporters of Israel are portraying this indiscriminate terrorist attack as not all that bad. Israeli terrorism is called "audacious" (by the BBC) but Hezbollah/Hamas terrorism not so. How about calling them what they really are: cold blooded murder.

compare to the amount of collateral damage that happens with air strikes, artillery barrages, and small arms firefights in an urban area.
this kind of attack is about as targeted as it gets while also being widespread.

But I'm not surprised that supporters of Islamic terror portray the Islamic terror groups as victims.

Mossad always 1 step ahead of the enemy lately.

I'd watch a spy thriller movie about Mossad Agents doing stuff like this.

May who rest in peace...Terrorists?

I pray for all the dead, even terrorists. I even prayed for Osama Bin Laden when he died, but I doubt he made it to heaven.

I won’t make this about theology

The same kind of people use human shields.

There was one about the Dive Resort in Sudan. Actually a true story. They rescued thousands of Ethiopian and Sudanese Jews.

Video footage of several explosions flooded social media Wednesday as thousands more Hezbollah terrorists were killed by exploding CDs promising 200 free hours of America Online.

"Oh boy, 200 free hours of dial-up Internet!" said Ahmad Krikor, a terrorist on the FBI's most wanted list. Unfortunately, his brief joy was quickly vaporized into dust along with his body.

I have to say there's a couple good lessons here. First, what governments are capable of today - helpful to know.

And quoting from Mahyar Tousi, the next lessons are don't be a terrorist, don't marry one, don't befriend one, and don't attend their funerals - it's dangerous.

Good lessons to be learned here all - if we hadn't already known these things.

upvote for mentioning Hoobastank

Is there a reason?

Yawn the usual unfounded "supporter of Islamic terror" accusation. Do you think Mossad regard those injured and killed (at least 2 children killed) as their victims or not? And have you noticed there have been a few air strikes against Gaza? Do you condemn those then?

Hezbollah are waging a terror war against Israel.

Many of the Northern towns of Israel have had to be evacuated because Hezbollah have been firing hundreds of missiles at innocent Israeli civillians in those towns.

This is a war.

Israel specifically targeted combatants carrying military pagers.

Murder is the illegal taking of life in civil society. Quite different.

Civilians has only one l.

Hmm I think Israel might have bombarded Lebanon and Syria as well. Does that count as a "terror war"? Has Lebanon had to evacuate people as well?

The Toll of 10 Months of Simmering Conflict on the Israel-Lebanon Border

In the cross-border fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, the most widespread structural destruction has been in Lebanon, where thousands of buildings have been damaged or destroyed.

Were the murdered eight year old girl and eleven year old boy "specifically targeted"?

"This is a war"
You are normalizing extreme violence

What Hamas did on 10/7 was indiscriminate...this was TARGETED at HEZBOLLAH TERRORISTS.

Including an eight year old girl, an eleven year old boy and people attending the funerals and queuing at the supermarket.

Were all the 40,000+ people murdered in Gaza by Israel TARGETED AS WELL? Or do you condemn that?

Next up, they're going to sabotage their Sony Walkman devices so when they use the 'Bass Boost' on a Hoobastank tape, it emits a poison.

I think they already do...

Nonsense - only the terrorist were targeted - they were not targeted...

 

[ThatRobGuy]

Nonsense - only the terrorist were targeted - they were not targeted...

I think the concern is rooted in the fact that while they may have been "targeting" the terrorists, doing it via sabotaged devices/items that they're likely to have on them when they're around "non-terrorists" is reckless.

It's reminiscent of old IRA car bomb/sabotage tactics. While it may be intended to hurt a specific target, ignoring the fact that they sometimes drive those cars to a grocery store parking lot or their kids sporting event is a major oversight.


Sure, you could cut a ISIS leaders brake lines in hopes that they get in a wreck, but if they are going to be using that car to pick their kids up from school (in proximity of a bunch of other people), that's putting a bunch of other innocent people at risk.

Even the villain in the movie Scarface (Tony Montana) drew the line at blowing up the car when the guy's wife and kids were in it.
