Israel carried out its operation against Hezbollah on Tuesday by hiding explosive material within a new batch of Taiwanese-made pagers imported into Lebanon, according to American and other officials briefed on the operation.
The pagers, which Hezbollah had ordered from Gold Apollo in Taiwan, had been tampered with before they reached Lebanon, according to some of the officials. Most were the company’s AP924 model, though three other Gold Apollo models were also included in the shipment.
The explosive material, as little as one to two ounces, was implanted next to the battery in each pager, two of the officials said. A switch was also embedded that could be triggered remotely to detonate the explosives.
Until you account for all the innocent people it hurt.
Involving civilians is bad no matter whose side is doing it.
You misunderstand, they’re being sarcastic.
Ed: to be specific they reference the most famous result of unexpected consequences.
The US government created a virus managed stucnet that infested and threw off industrial controllers of a specific brand they knew were used with Iranian centrifuges that enrich nuclear material. Their plan worked and the centrifuges were destroyed.
Later on they found out stuxnet accidently infected a bunch of other controllers, ones that were in hospitals, power plants ect. It ended up being one of the most widespread viruses ever.
Essentially they’re saying planting bombs in pagers could never have unexpected consequences. /S
No, they were being serious.
The marvel-brained lib has had a comment removed for justifying Israeli attacks on hospitals and schools.
Poe’s Law of the internet. It’s impossible to tell online if someone is sarcastic or insane.
Which version of lib are you using?
Bro you cannot possibly lack that much critical thinking and still be alive.
Do you think someone who posts something like this is concerned with long term effects of Israel’s indiscriminate attacks on civilians?
They have 7 accounts, and they all have similar content removed by mods.
Bro, what other shit they did or didn’t do ain’t got shit to do with this comment here. You’re wrong, accept it and move on.
The other shit they did informs us of they way they think.
I understand why you’d assume they’re being sarcastic, but someone who literally believes Israel is killing bad guys isn’t going to express sarcasm that way. Those are not the posts of someone concerned with blowback.
No , it can infer character.
It’s not going to change objective fact.
Read that statement and go point by point as to why you believe it could only be serious. You’ll be left having to say it’s probably sarcastic because of its content not it’s creators character.
MLK talked about this shit dude.
