Why would civilians carry hezbullah pagers not survillianse then but why blame isreal maybe just a batch of faulty pagers
it seems allah with the mossad
😂
İRAN VE HİZBULLAH TERÖR ÖRGÜTÜ, LÜBNANI ÜS HALİNE GETİRDİ. LÜBNAN’A YAZIK ETTİLER.🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
channel4 and BBC journalists are all accounted for?!?
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.
Hez -no-balls
This place is crowded with Zayo Nests
Hahahahahahaha😂😂😂😂
If a country has found a way to remote detonate electrical devices. That is worrying regardless if your teroist or not
Sky news seems salty
Israel government has not commented omg!!!
😂,😂😂😂😂
Nasrallah set them uo he didnt want to pay his followers so he gave them pagers and blamed Israel. Nasrallah himself didnt have a pager
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?
🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
They want to point a finger at Isreal. No way
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.
Isreal sure knows how to send a message!
It's Hard to believe that Hezbollah would buy pagers from Israeli
Virgin Mobile at it again.
Don't F××k with the Mosad.
Civilians using pagers,they think us idiots
Am I the only one sick and tired of the threatening tone in this accent? The arrogance is just too much. It’s good Israel is standing against their bullying!
What really astounds me is that there are still people using pagers
Most of the pager holders were probably like. W T F mate where are the fifty V……
I wonder if Obamas pager exploded also?
🤣
Who are they hell to use pagers dear viewers .even then telling to media ohhhh .fuccc
And?
Nethanyhu and the Mossad are worst them Winestien, Epstien and Madoff together-time will say!!!
Mossad is having a sale on turbans.
Only the terrorists had pagers normal citizens use cell phones
Religion of peace vs other religions of peace.
They can do this, but not predict the attack that started this nonsense?
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.

FBKH
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.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Arabs are so stupid, rather than be friends with Israel and learned from them how to
improved their lives NO they choose to fight them and remain stupid, they may strikes back
so will Israel Hezbollah started wit Iran, one or all will die
'His bollocks' are hurting right now.
Kya baat hai israel ..ghar baithe baithe kaam tamam
