Video shows pagers exploding in Lebanon attack

According to the Lebanese health minister, more than 2,000 people have been injured after an attack that targeted the pagers of Hezbollah members in Lebanon. CNN’s Ben Wedeman reports. #cnn #news #hezbollah #lebanon

Of course but likely these pagers had some exploit to cause battery explosion. I suppose certain phones do as well but not likely to be apple phones as their settings are very limited compared to android phones

[@boom1538]

@@CSIS-Spy That was not battery explosion.

[@JHX1]

@@boom1538 It is a bit weird if it was a normal battery, especially all at once. Can be a mixed battery/explosive that heats up from bulk paging or just a lining or so. But I don't understand why that wasn't noticed before. These things do break or get repaired, they do have explosive detection there at many places.

[@boom1538]

@@JHX1 in some images you can see one of the people targeted looking at the pager as if it was ringing and then explode. The explosion looks like c2 or c4 , just a bit of it makes a huge damage. Other than that for now its speculative but you have a point, a bit of explosive laced in the battery, you would not be opening the battery to check it if it is working. As for explosive detection, maybe they aren't all that good.

And also, mind I add that because of these countless rockets that have been sent into Israeli cities accidents are far more likely to occour due to sayrene and alerms of the rockets launched by Hezbolah and Iran, if you cared for casualties and civilian endangerment you would have condamned Hamas, Hezbolah, Iran and heck even Syria not only Israel

No. I was here responding to this one particular comment on this one particular video, clarifying that the reporter here did in fact say "believed individuals affiliated with Hezbollah" rather than claiming it was random. He did not claim it was random. The original commenter here is wrong. Now, as for a little girl, that is not in the report here, I'm not privy to this information. So, please, fill us in. Why was she carrying a pager? Was she herself in fact carrying a pager? What were the circumstances? If she was hurt by standing next to someone with a pager, then how does that change anything in this situation, as was reported here? My commentary here is about the specific words chosen when journalists do their reporting. They can say "it's believed" about an affiliation when it seems pretty obvious to everyone, but these words also give them room to further clarify the reporting later, if they learn more or different information.
