  1. Many civilians in Lebanon use pagers. The American University of Beirut provides pagers for its students. It recently, on August 29th, put out a memo saying that all pagers must be returned as they are being phased out for newer ones.

  2. WTF is Lebanon? it is not a sovereign country thats from sure.
    Their "country" is firing rockets and anti tank missiles at Israel from 8th October. Yet their people don't seem to feel any responsibility for this.
    "It is Hezbollah" they say… well were does Hezbollah fires these missiles from? Mars?

  4. Shame on Sky News for pushing the Israel trope that ONLY Hezbollah were targetted by these exploding pagers, IED's. Innocent civilians were injured in public spaces by Israeli terrorists. It's all on CCTV.
    If Israel had done this in London, Washington,Paris etc. against innocent civilians shopping in a market,there would be US,UK outrage from politicians and repercussions.
    If Iran or Russia rigged exploding IED's terrorist attack in London, NewYork, punishment would be on the cards. But Zionist Israel gets impunity!
    Don't insult us with your pro-Zionist propaganda, Sky. This isn't about Hezbollah.
    That's distraction from desperate collapsing, lunatic Israel committing Holocaust on 5 million Palestinians actively aided and abetted by USG.
    Don't degrade or embarrass yourself Sky.

  5. This might not have been the work of Israel. Perhaps another entity wants to trigger war in the Middle-East so it set this up to increase tensions. Some of the terrorists Democrats smuggled into the USASSR in the last 3.5 years may have been imported because they know how to rig electronic devices to go Boom. Things could get fugly soon. Vote all Democrats out of office in November 2024.

  6. Why are they using pagers anymore over there? It's like USA in the 1980's before cell phones. We got a page and went to a phone booth. Now everyone is worried their cell phone might explode over this pager thing.
