Putting bombs in pagers, not knowing who might be holding them, in a civillian area. Is an indiscriminate attack. An explicit war crime in the geneva conventions. "apparent terror attack" is the correct framing for this

Every time the enemy invader escalates its terror against the indigenous people of the region, it hardens and deepens the conviction that this entity has to be excised. It has no place among civilized people and ancient civilizations.

What Lebanon has experienced today is undoubtedly, without question, without nuance, a terrorist attack. 3000+ injured folk, with injuries that are so stomach-churning they feel like they’re made up. Say it as it is. This is an act of terror.

Lebanon is facing a psychopathic enemy on its southern border. Well and truly deranged beyond comprehension.

⚡️BREAKING: Israeli settlers are celebrating the attack in Lebanon, where pager devices exploded, resulting in 9 martyrs and around 3,000 injuries.

Just to be clear about what happened today, explosive devices were detonated remotely by Israel in a wide range of Lebanese civilian spaces including, groceries, shops, busy city streets, medical facilities, etc. Israel is proud of this and the US is calling it legitimate.

BREAKING: According to Lebanese security sources the explosive devices that resulted in the injuries of thousands in Lebanon today (and in Syria) and the killing of at least nine, including children were; 🚨 imported 5 months ago. 🚨 implanted with up to 20 grams of explosive

Al Jazeera is saying that the pagers in the Israeli attack were indeed packed with explosives and were imported into Lebanese territory *five months ago*, and Axios says that the decision was made by the Israeli state to detonate the pagers a week ago.

The US State Department tries to deny any involvement with the israeli pager attack in Lebanon but it’s doubtful anyone with an IQ believes them

Israel has a history of stuffing telephones with explosives for assassinations, from the killing of Mahmoud Hamshari in Paris in 1972 to the killing of Yahya Ayyash in Gaza in 1996. This operation is the application of that same malicious model on an industrial scale.

Genuinely, this is some wicked science fiction horror-level stuff, and I’m unable to comprehend or fathom how most of the world will, as it always has, move on as if nothing has happened.

no more cissexual women as joan of arc I'm so serious

Israel's practice of booby-trapping electronic devices and randomly detonating them among civilians in Lebanon is a dangerous trend, and if the world does not take a firm stance against it, this will drag the world into a square of dirty wars.

Israel is testing all the weapons the declining West plans to wield against an increasingly discontent world. Gaza and Lebanon are the laboratories. They are the prefigurations of the colonial hell that awaits all people who dare to resist.

Sayyid ash-Shuhada Brigades, part of the Islamic Resistance of Iraq, release statement saying that in response to Israel's mass pager attacks in Lebanon, they are considering "abandoning Western technology entirely" in communications and relying on local technology instead.

10-year-old Fatima Jaafar Abdullah was among those ki!!ed in the “israełi” attack on Lebanon, and BBC News are framing this as “Hezbollah pager explosions.”

I am terrified for what is about to happen next. What kind of precedent is this setting?

The news continues to be horrifying. Sheer terror across the region via Israel.

The pagers Israel exploded were made by Taiwanese company Gold Apollo. The pagers were reportedly imported 5 months ago (mid-April 2024), which lines up closely with a Knesset delegation visit to Taiwan during which Tsai pledged to "deepen" partnership between the 2 countries.

This is why it is so important to insist on calling groups like Hezbollah and Hamas what they are: national liberation movements.
