Clever tactic. Strategically, we'll have to wait and see. Hezbollah can end it's bombbardment and the Israel retaliation at any time. NFL however.
 
Notnew, then?
I forget when they did it, been quite a while. I'd bet the tangos are afraid to use cell phones because they know they'll be listened to. Pager goes off, it's ET phone home time.
 
Don’t be dumb for life.

He is a traitor to humanity.

"The report revealed that Hamas terrorists threatened victims, often injured women, with weapons in order to rape them violently, often collectively with collaboration between multiple terrorists.

Partners, family, and friends were forced to watch to “increase the pain and humiliation for all present.”

Most of those sexually assaulted by Hamas terrorists were killed afterward, and some even during the act of rape. Others still were found dead later, their genitals mutilated beyond recognition or penetrated with weapons."


That's terrorism.

We demanded unconditional surrender of Japan and we were willing to kill men, women, and children across Japan to accomplish that goal.
 
Excellent use of technology, no matter the target. If your kid was playing with your pager, whose fault would that be? If it blew up your nightstand, whose fault would that be? If your kid had their head in your crotch, and your pager blows up, that's just plain damned bad luck.
were you this concerned about the horrendous means of taking human life,, even babies on october 7. I must have missed that.
 
If Hezbollah had not interfered, there would have been no reprisals.
 
It's a valid method in times of war. However, they could be opening Pandoras Box, that's the problem. Above and beyond what I post below, don't forget that China is the manufacturing hub for the world. This could have given them some ideas.

Also, I don't have access to the details of exactly how much information they had. For instance, GPS which they might have been able to pick up somehow through a test call to the pagers to know their location.

The reason I raise this concern is I considered the danger if one of these terrorists were on a commercial airplane flying to another city. That would have been devastating to Israels reputation to such a degree that there would have to be resignations or even worse.

So as I said, "any means necessary" doesn't work for me except in the most extreme of cases. One has to analyse the fallout and the risks geopolitically, militarily, economically etc. before employing extreme measures.

That's why I'm on the fence about these methods. Creative yes and it will cause Hezbollah to pause before they attack. However, if they didn't have the location details of the thousands of pagers, I can't say this was not without extreme risks.
Yeah, this could be the beginning of an electronics war, which could eventually lead to an AI war. China manufactures a lot of shit the world uses. There's a lot to be said for Populism and Nationalism, being self sufficient, and not beholden to enemy countries for our necessities. When you really think about it, that's very stupid.
 
It was in the news back then. Their homing guidance programming was altered for them to double back on themselves, which isn't hard to do.
Infrared seekers cannot return to their source. You have no clue as to what you are talking about. You should be able to easily Google it if it were true, and only you would recognize the story.
 
I believe your fav media also has reported on it. Like all over the news.

Indeed it is all over the media.

That much we agree on.

Unlike you I do not assume something is true just because it is on the media.

But hey, you do you!

Well, after reports of several of the most trusted media sources say the same thing................it's stupid people like you who question it.

indeed, it is stupid to question the media, what was I thinking. I need to work harder on being a drone like you.
