I want to see Tel Aviv ✨glow ✨
The attacks began just a day after Biden administration adviser Amos Hochstein met Netanyahu and Gallant in an effort to de-escalate tensions with Hezbollah. After that, the Israeli PM announced that returning tens of thousands of Israeli residents to their homes in northern Israel had become a key war aim, suggesting Israel could be preparing for further escalation.
amazing work guys
at the same time as ever more nuclear brinksmanship against Russia at the expense of who knows how many hundred thousands people on and between both 'sides' of the shitshow in Ukraine. THIS is the "damage control" candidate in the US?
lmfao I'm voting PSL fuck all of these people. Democrats going around congress twice to shovel as many guns and bombs as they can hoping Israel finishes off Gaza before the elections, Trump only being different in that he's open about the same; Palestinians have said both candidates and parties are the same for them, and they've been the same for us.
radical fundamentalist jewish terrorism.
Wow,
What's the trigger here?
These are mines hidden in civilian products.
Exploding either on purpose (triggered remotely), how do they verify their target before exploding?
What happens to misfires?
How the fuck did Israel think this was a good idea?
Civilian takes their pager through an airport, gets flagged and imprisoned for life?
What a clusterfuck
It doesn't matter, Israel can murder anyone with impunity. They just cite Hamas, Self-defense or "security measures".
Then Matthew "Dracula" Miller says they will "look into it" and call it a day.
How the fuck did Israel think this was a good idea?
Probably for the same reason it thinks committing genocide is a good idea.
Nobody will stop them?
Israel has shown again and again that it doesn't care how many civilians it kills. Like any fascist state, it wears its lack of compassion with pride.
Why would Hezbollah give the pagers they bought for military communication to civilians?
they bought for military communication
[citation needed]
Do you think Hezbollah distributed these to send out the results of the monthly charity raffle?
The news today is full of articles describing how Hezbollah leadership told their people to ditch their cellphones because they could be tracked and eavesdropped. One must really turn their brain off to believe it's a complete coincidence 3k Hezbollah members were all carrying the same model of pager and it has nothing at all to do with Hezbollah whatsoever lol
Military personnel have families.
And live among civilians when they're expecting to be paged
