that is the most insane thing I have ever seen. that anyone has seen. this attack will go down in history, unfortunately.
reports now say at least 2800 Hezbollah members are injured, only 9 killed so far, but another 200-400 are in critical condition (at risk of death), so that number will likely rise a lot. 500 blind, hundreds more missing limbs. this is one of the most ruthless, barbaric and successful attacks in modern history. simultaneously 2800+ Hezbollah members injured all over Lebanon and Syria. the attack was designed to do damage. the pager would beep so the person who look at it then it would explode. pure savagery.
now Hezbollah needs time to adjust and reset. but if this doesn't lead to hundreds of ballistic missiles aimed at civilian targets in Haifa and Tel Aviv within 72 hours then Nasrallah has basically surrendered. if this isn't a declaration of war then I don't know what is.
the only respites for Hezbollah is that this was a huge ace in Israel's sleeve. once it is used, it cannot be used again. this could have been even worse: e.g., if combined with a simultaneous land invasion.
absolute negligence by Hezbollah especially after Iran intercepted a similar Mossad attempt to sabotage Iranian missiles. imagine if that had succeeded. hundreds if not thousands of Iranian missiles would be in their mountain bases ready for Israel to cause mass destruction whenever they decided.
for Iran, this shows the barbarity and ruthless savagery of Israel. we must be more barbaric. that means nuclear weapons and all kinds of chemical and biological weapons. Khamenei has proven too conservative to lead Iran to nuclear weapons and confrontation with Israel. His successor must be different.
and why did the Iranian ambassador have this pager? thankfully not everybody had this new pager, otherwise all of Hezbollah would have been taken out...
