EXPLODING PAGERS MAY BE 'NEGOTIATING TACTIC'

In a case of insane 'creative' irregular warfare thousands of pagers have been exploding in Lebanon simultaneously, targeting Hezbollah fighters. Some 3000 people have been injured and nine others were fatally wounded. Pagers are low tech messaging apps about the size of a cell phone. The New York Times have been reporting that Iran's Ambassador to Lebanon lost an eye and severely injured the other when his pager exploded. He will be repatriated to Tehran for treatment. It is also reported on Hussein Suleimani's X account (link) who is the Editor-in-Chief of the main Revolutionary Guard's news website.

INSANE CASE OF 'CREATIVE' IRREGULAR WARFARE


UPDATE: Still no confirmation of a 'second wave' of other exploding gadgets. Take that with a sack of salt. 


Sep. 18, 2024 Alex Christoforou: Lebanon pagers. NATO, Russia red line bluff. US/EU want Ukraine off-ramp. Scholz alone in Kazakhstan.

Lebanese media report a second wave of explosions of communication devices in several locations in southern Lebanon. There are fires in residential buildings, and vehicles are burning. It is not entirely clear what scope this action has. Cell phones, solar panels, laptops, phones, doorbells, mopeds, and walkie talkies are exploding in a second wave of terrorism. 

Taiwan's Gold Apollo pager company issued a statement stating that the pagers carry their trademark, but they were manufactured in Europe. All AP924 Model Pager models were subcontracted to a company BAC Hungary, about 5,000 in that batch to Lebanon (link).

Sep. 17, 2024 Agenda Free TV: Hezbollah Pager Explosions - LIVE Updates & New Developments (Breaking News Coverage).

Apparently the Hezbollah fighters have had these pagers for months. Apparently  earlier in the year a batch of 5,000 pagers were ordered from tech firm Gold Apollo in Taiwan. Hezbollah is using these low tech pagers in an attempt to avoid Israeli location tracking.

So they were probably remotely detonated at more or less the same time. Now the great question is, who dunnit and above all, how? The obvious culprit is Israel's Mossad spy agency, but no one has confirmed that yet.

The how is another point and the subject of much speculation. Some are saying the implants must have been done at the production level. Or the shipment from Taiwan was intercepted and swapped with gadgets loaded with three grams of explosive material.  Or was the Taiwanese tech firm was somehow hacked by the Mossad.

The technical details are beyond my pay grade, but apparently the implants can't be detected. Reuters is reporting that the detonation of 3,000 of the 5,000 pagers occurred when a coded message was received on the pagers.

The exploded pagers were not strictly carried by Hezbollah members. There are many reported instances of common people including a diplomat in the embassy of Ukraine in Beirut.
