As a second wave of explosions hits Hezbollah and its command structures, the success of the Israeli attacks raises some interesting questions. Yesterday's question after the pager operation was why Iran's ambassador to Lebanon carried a pager sourced to Hezbollah for operational communications. Mojtaba Amani got injured in the explosion, although initial reports claimed at first that his injuries were "superficial." The New York Times heard otherwise:QuoteIran’s ambassador to Lebanon, Mojtaba Amini, lost one eye and severely injured his other eye when a pager he was carrying exploded in a simultaneous wave of blasts targeting wireless electronic devices, according to two members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps briefed on the attack.
Why would a diplomat carry a communication device connected to a terror network currently attacking another state, intended for operational purposes? We'll get back to that question, but first, let's look at today's question, asked in Star Trek V fashion: What did nearly 200 IRGC troops need with a Hezbollah pager?Quote19 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) members were killed after their pagers had exploded in Deir ez-Zur in eastern Syria, Saudi news source Al-Hadath reported Wednesday afternoon.
An additional 150 IRCG members were also wounded in the explosions, Army Radio reported, citing the Saudi news source.

LEBANON — Video footage of several explosions flooded social media Wednesday as thousands more Hezbollah terrorists were killed by exploding CDs promising 200 free hours of America Online.
"Oh boy, 200 free hours of dial-up Internet!" said Ahmad Krikor, a terrorist on the FBI's most wanted list. Unfortunately, his brief joy was quickly vaporized into dust along with his body.
Israel is suspected to have intercepted a cache of unused AOL discs which they repurposed for a tactical advantage. In addition, CCTV footage picked up Yiddish operatives fleeing the scene of many detonations.

Rashida Tlaib Uninjured After Her Pager Mysteriously Explodes
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Capitol Police responded to an urgent call amid reports of a loud disturbance in the congressional offices today. Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib was later reportedly uninjured after her pager mysteriously exploded.
The incident occurred earlier Tuesday in Tlaib's Capitol Hill office, where her pager had been sitting on a desk before spontaneously detonating, causing a significant scare but leaving no reported injuries.
"It just blew up right out of nowhere!" one of Tlaib's staffers said following the explosion. "We were just going about our business, checking over the congresswoman's itinerary of Death-To-Israel protests, when there was a huge blast in the next room. We went in there, papers were flying everywhere, and there was smoke… thank goodness she had put the pager on the desk. Such a crazy, unexplained incident, right?"

So the abortion killed a human being, shielded a statutory rapist, encouraged a decade or two of promiscuity, and very possibly caused infertility, either directly or due to promiscuity-related STD(s). That's probably a better set of outcomes to the cynically named no_hypocrisy than the risk of a Catholic or Evangelical Pro-Life couple adopting the child and raising him/her to be a moral person.

Israel targeted the Hezzies' order only, and AFAIK, it is unknown if the explosives were planted in the factory or somewhere between the factory and Hezzie hands. Not that Israel-Hating anti-Semites let facts complicate their hate.
BREAKING: Walkie-Talkies Explode in Hezbollah Strongholds in Second Wave; UPDATE: ACME Again?
https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2024/09/18/breaking-walkie-talkies-explode-in-hezbollah-strongholds-n3794667
Was a "Beep! Beep!" heard shortly before the walkie-talkies exploded? Israel changed the, "What's next?" fear to, "Is this all?" For the Hezzies, these are serious losses - mid-level leaders (akin to upper level army non-coms, the ones with lots of experience and who know how things work and who has what skills) and active members.
To illustrate the degree of Hezzie cluelessness ... Lockheed has been a cotractor for the US military for decades, satellites and satellite communications. Some of its contracts' security provisions include the requirement that the finished products be delivered to a military facility - in Silicon Valley, Moffett Naval Air Station, which is adjacent to Lockheed - and transported to its destination on military transport aircraft. Moffett was deactivated by Clinton in the 90s, but to this day people who live in the approach pattern (e.g. me) periodically see C-130s and 4-engine jet transports flying in to Moffett.
Long
short, the Hezzies should have had their people in the pager and walkie-talkie factories while their products were being assembled and should have had people accompany the shipments from the loading docks to the Hezzies' warehouse.

Operation 1980s Called And Want Their Tech Back may not yet have ended. According to multiple reports, a second wave of explosions have taken place in Lebanon, primarily in Hezbollah strongholds in Beirut and the Bekaa Valley. This time, the explosions have been created by "networked devices" and possibly walkie-talkies.
...
The Jerusalem Post suggests that "networked devices" may have gotten detonated in some fashion. Hezbollah has now warned all its personnel to stop using all communications devices ...
...
Are you kidding me? Hezbollah bought all of their new equipment from a single source and didn't check any of it? Man, the Mossad owes their leadership a fruit basket. Sans explosive, of course.
Update: If it's true that Hezbollah got the radios from the same source as the pagers, why would they have used the radios after yesterday? If that's true, it's almost intentional incompetence. One has to wonder whether Hezbollah's field troops are wondering whether they have been stabbed in the back by their own leadership. I doubt they have much confidence in it today, at least.
Update: The casualty count thus far is one dead and over 100 injured, according to CNN's report from Lebanon's health ministry. That's a pretty significant second wave.

Based on what is known so far, the specific order of pagers to Hezbollah was targeted, not just random devices coming out of the factory. I call very false equivalency.
Also, it seems there may have been a round 2.

Hundreds of people were wounded on Wednesday as Lebanese media reported another round of explosions throughout the country at midday.
Three people had been killed, according to Lebanese state media.
According to Reuters, citing a Lebanese security official, those wounded sustain wounds primarily to the stomach and hands.
The Lebanese Health Ministry later issued a statement saying over a hundred people had been wounded and one person had been killed, according to a preliminary toll.
Initial vague reports of networked devices exploding came in from Beirut, the Bekaa Valley, and throughout Lebanon.
If true, this would be the second consecutive day of potential sabotage and explosions in Lebanon after around 3,000 mostly members of Hezbollah were wounded by exploding beepers on Tuesday.

According to unconfirmed reports, Hezbollah has told its operatives to distance itself from communication devices.
Unofficial reports also claimed that Hezbollah told its members to dispose of devices containing a lithium battery or that are connected to the internet.
Oh no, the terrorists are getting their everyday lives interrupted by the possibility of attacks. I believe the proper phrase for that is "what goes around, comes around".
