Seems to me that their own tactics have been used against them, and they're outraged. Ive heard these attacks described as weapons of mass destruction, but I can't agree with that description. While collateral damage is horrific, these look more like targeted incidents, meant to take out operatives, rather than non combatants.

[@annehersey9895]

The presenter misspoke! He said to the guest Muhammad that: ‘We’ve just heard that many people want to strike back”. One person said that, no one else did. Many Lebanese silently or anonymously would like Israel to completely destroy Hezbollah so that people who want peace and stability in Lebanon can get on with a once thriving country. Had they made peace with Israel when Egypt then Jordan did, this probably wouldn’t have happened because Hezbollah wouldn’t occupy the Southern part of the country.

There are extremely disturbing injuries for sure. But one should not forget, that there is a war going on between Hezbollah and Israel that Hezbollah started for no reason. And quite a few people have died in this war. And unfortunately there is little reason to believe that any of them sustained less disturbing injuries. This is no fun, even when contained. (And still, the deaths of the children in the pager attack are a terrible accident).

It means mobile phones are also not safe

[@mrmelmba]

GPS devices that are the size of a quarter have been available for several years. These have phone circuitry and companies that have planted them in corporate vehicles, besides being able to track location may phone the device, which answers silently and listen to sounds in the car, or if sound exceeds a set threshold the device will phone the company. Other features include cameras in some models. A thorough examination of the pagers will likely reveal that besides being able to trigger a contained explosive these likely also include all of the items listed above. So instead of remaining undetectable with the extra circuitry in these pagers likely were able to track, monitor and listen in on every act of the persons that carried them.

[@codexox1]

Listen: This can put a very catascrophic detonations if it could have happened say inside an airplane plane midflight with one of those or any electronic devices . Can you imagine if those victims happened to be inside a commercial flight without knowing what they have with them.
