Pager Explosions Reveal the Truth: Israel is Guilty, Hezbollah is Innocent.
The outrageous attack by Israel and the subsequent cheering in both Israel and the West shows us once more who the real “bad guys” are in the Middle East.
On Tuesday, September 17, 2024, thousands of mobile pagers exploded across Lebanon, injuring 3000 people and killing 12, including 2 children. The next day, a similar attack targeted walkie-talkies, killing 20 and injuring about 450.
The injuries inflicted on the unsuspecting pager users and the people in their vicinity were horrendous: people were rushed to the hospital having lost hands, arms, eyes and genitals.
A non-targeted, mass casualty attack

But the broad spectrum of victim profiles indicates that the targeting was minimal.
