This past week’s attacks in Lebanon involving electronic devices used by Hezbollah (a group designated by the U.S. as a terrorist organization) has led to thousands injured, dozens fatally. Correspondent Lee Cowan looks at how the detonations of pagers and walkie-talkies, reportedly triggered by Israel in response to daily rocket attacks by Hezbollah, may rewrite the rules of war; and talks with former defense secretary and former CIA director Leon Panetta about what he fears will become “the battlefield of the future.”

Zechariah 12:1-9
😱😱😱😱😱😱
I searched "isreali terrorism".
The isrealis are following a so-called directive from god, and they're going to do anything even children.
Isreali's don't have homes and businesses though. Not unless you count what's stolen from Palestine.
More war crimes from Israel
How do we know this can't be done to iPhones?
So for Mr Panetta, the use of drones built for civilian use and later equipped for war is a serious "supply line" problem, So are hand guns, construction explosives, fertilizers, Wuhan labs vaccines, etc.
The pagers used by Lebanese people are made in Taiwan, the Gold Apollo brand, while the walkie talkies are made in Japan, the iComm brand. This proves that Taiwan and Japan, who were American slaves, have proven to be united to help Israel fight the Muslim world in the Middle East. We must start to be wary of the communications equipment made by the American colonial countries. Because they can be infiltrated by American and Israeli interests to strengthen American hegemony in the Middle East. According to information, pager batteries made in Taiwan and sent to Lebanon have been replaced with explosives that can be controlled remotely to be detonated simultaneously. This proves how western technology and those made by western colonial countries such as Japan and Taiwan will destroy us if we are not alert from now on. Unless we want to become followers of Israel.
Leon Panetta. Weak knees.
Thank you for airing this
It is NOT the "battlefield of the future" because it was the battlefield of YESTERDAY and the day before that. It is funny to me that Panetta wants to put more "rules" on war that VERY CLEARLY those who oppose Israel do NOT and will NOT ever observe…..
OMG
lots of spam bots comment in here LOL
when leon panetta of all people accuses you of terrorism, you know it's really bad
Now, Mossad has not only broken the international rules of war, like avoiding civilian causualities, they have also inspired innumerous terrorists and other states to sabotage any electronic device with a powerful battery, in conjunction with a very small and probably almost undetectable explosive.
Undetectable as in the security control on airports, not visible either by scanning equipment or casual inspection.
Israel has thus effectively upped the ante more than the terrorists of 9/11, in the world of terrorism, as if genocide wasn’t enough.
No, I am not sympathizing with neither Hamas, nor Hizbollah, actually I hate religion, proportional to how extreme it is, or is practiced.
Islam is thus not on my list of favourite beliefs, but neither is judaism or christianity. At least not the old testament version that is popular
in the southern parts of the United States and in many sects like Jehova’s vitnesses.
There is a reason for rules in wars, even when we all, due to hating the enemy, and being desperate, may not always want to honour them,
So it is not just empathy for the non combattants or likely innocent civilians but to avoid chaos that serves none of the combattants.
Keeping prisoners of war alive and well would be good, also to have something to exchange for your own soldiers gotten captures and this
"game" has been played all the time with spies and political prisoners.
So:
Breaking those rules, typically when harming, even targeting non combattants, eg. civilians, often in a random way it is the same as terrorism,
which creates a chaos that serves none of the combatting parts in a conflict.
Israel will now need to be extremely paranoid about any technology that anyone bring into their country,
what could happen to be in the luggage of a passenger plane, for example. Sooner or later, planes to or from
Israel will fall out of the sky, due to electronics being manipulated – and you would not even need explosives,
just a tampered device where the battery shorts out and burning somewhat, to create panic.
For example – it is still allowed to check in devices with built in batteries, in the luggage, however this will very
soon end now. (The rule is mainly still – no powerbanks and no devices with removable batteries present in the checked in luggage,
While luggage with devices with a built in battery, is allowed to check in)
There will soon be a conflict between Mossad / Israel and other countries security agencies / aviation authorities,
about the methode that was used, Mossad will try to keep it secret but will eventually have to come clean and no doubt,
it can be figured out quite soon anyway.
Most probably, we will soon know how the pagers and the walkie-talkie were tampered with and
which explosive was used, and how visible (or not) it is on airport scanners. And if Mossad was able to hide
even a gramme or two of anything explosive, without airport security being able to pick it up, we have a problem
a BIG problem even though the exact means of how to do ir is kept secret for the public or the actual explosive is hard to get hold of.
Because no country would feel safe, if Mossad or possibly any other nation, for example Russia, could manipulate
devices, not even the owner knowing anything, and it is too hard for airport security to scan and detect easily, such tampering,
aviation security would have a huge problem, worldwide.
For the public not being able to bring mobile devices, anything with batteries on their holiday, would then be devastating
for the aviation business, as I said – Mossad and Israel’s terror attack has impacted the world even more than 9/11,
even though it doesn’t look as spectacular as the 9/11 attacks did.
Warfare in 21st century. IDS went all James Bond up in there.
CBS always being anti-Israeli.
Mossad just made the CIA looks like child grade organization
Free Palestine
CBS showing true colors…weird right ? Fake news sucks.
solidarity with Palestine not Hamas , western media and journalists that behave as propaganda mouth pieces for a genocidal Israel can be held to account for complicity in genocide under international law..
The UN should be declared a violation of international law.
Us technology dangerous ,
Seeing as the USA gives Israel all of its bombs, an international court may ultimately find the USA just as liable for damages once Israel is bankrupted from all the civil litigation coming their way.
I wonder if there are any Jewish litigators in this world that wouldn’t mind helping the pager bomb victims?!
When something is so evil even the CIA won't do it, you know it's horrendous
4:02 I hope he’s not trying to put out that fire….he’s fanning the flames
Leave it to the liberal media to call this a terrible carnage, when it was a military strike against a Terrorist military organization.
Why is it that when israel commits war crimes it’s called “rewriting the playbook” ?
What's the problem? All those pagers did was convert to islam
He called pagers a prevalent device? Who tf has a pager anymore? They couldnt be more targeted and the video proves even people standing right next to the person didnt get harmed. This shows they'll criticize Israel for anything
