A precision operation that’s part of a grander scheme or a one-off magic trick to score spy ops points against the enemy?Either way, what to make of a second day of exploding devices that has killed a dozen and wounded more than 3-thousand? Hezbollah’s response awaited after a security breach that will go down in the history books: how did those recently-equipped pagers explode? Why the aftershock of exploding walkie-talkies in several regions. We will examine possible scenarios.

  1. 😂😂😂😂

  2. What branch Hizbollah does Machler work for.

  3. Pls.lets hold our loughter lets just ask question to cover it up

  4. True to form…since 1948. Israel is a misfit in the midst of 500 million Arabs.

  5. Apparently the algorithm objects to my pointing out that "brilliant" and "daring do" used in this report to praise what I believe are Israel's immoral acts is in poor taste. Oh algorithm, please hear me: I came not to praise Hezbollah, Hamas or Iran, I came to point out that Israel, a supposedly Democratic government, is acting like any old terrorist group.

  6. Hezbollah, believing their own invincibility then they BLOW themselves up , how ironic.

  7. All the armchair quarterbacks criticizing Benny's everymove, there's always loud mouths who can do it so much better, keep up the Good work Benny!

  8. Only the people in Gaza or Hezebali has blood but Israel blood is not blood?

  9. Could iCom sue Israel? iCom is a huge and reputable Japanese company that could face losses because of the attack.

  10. So hez-balls-out missiles kill 12 druze kids and this clown wants to say corporate pager targeting is not precise. Well maybe you're just uninformed, but from here it looks like you are a hypocrite.

  11. The most precise attack towards combatants according to military experts is now being called "indiscriminate". Anti-Israel "journalists" say what ever the hell they want to stoke the hatred towards Israel. Facts don't matter anymore.

  12. Geez, both sides of the argument about civilian casualties are whitewashing. People like these two men love to plant fear among all people regardless of whether you are Israelis or Lebanese.

  13. He is just dangling and may be he thinks Israel will use the same tactics used in 2006.

  14. The guy on white is just blabbing, Israel is not sleeping if hesbola has millions of unused rocket. What is he saying on two children killed what happened to the 12 children killed in a football field by hesbola?

  15. Which war since history has no collateral damage? The fact that the Unholy Alliance dreamed of annihilating Israel, do you think they will not fight the way they should? Is there a term called friendlier conventional warfare or milder warfare?

  16. Heshbola should understand that should understand what has been done to them… Heshbola making Lebanon into war with Israel which Lebanon is not waring with Israel…

  17. No worries, those gadgets are under warranties, the company offered free replacement of all damaged units.

  18. Indiscriminate attack your foot! If your imagined european city had terrorists using those pagers how’s that indiscriminate?

  19. You know who else uses pagers? Medical staff bc of hospital rules. Journalists too. Exactly the groups Israel has been targeting in Gaza. Let's top being so naive and only talk about "Hezbollah" commanders being targeted.

  20. Don't tell me it was just opened from the box ??? Brand new and not been use among the Hiz during pager distributions or messaging test amongst them. Walkie also was use by them talking and testing channels. Why almost same time and specific. Just watch out your signal frequencies, match it , scammer drawing your password 1 & 0

  21. Who is this whiner!! Thousands of Hezbollah combatants were maimed and he's whining about the few casualties.

  22. To Nadim Houry, were the babies, who were beheaded or baked in their homes, legitimate targets? Israel didn't start the October 7 conflict. Hamas started it and Hezbollah decided to join in. Hamas and Hezbollah started this war. Israel is fighting a war they didn't ask for. Why should Israel wait for another attack? Pre-empt.

  23. Unethical behavior on the part of Israel for sure.

  24. There a confession, the changes are not in Hardware at all, there is only change in software, when the pager received the word "blast it", the circuit are changed this order to blasts its own battery. This convession is made by the people who write the code itself. That means the initiator of the blasting are the Commander of Hezbollah itself.

  25. Nadim Houry has the skewed logic of a rabid Hezbolla militant. He is a joke and his opinion is worthless. You may as well ask Nazralla's opinion, you would get the same drivel..

  26. Very likely iPhone or Samsung next time…any product of which the supply chain with which the Mossad or CIA could meddle would be a big question…

  27. 16:12 listening to him I realise there will never ever be peace in the middle east, absolutely zero self awareness

  28. The thing is, Arabs love this, they can't get enough, Arabs are a little like women, love drama and gladly ruin their life for this

  29. FRANCE 24 got highly Offended.We feel your pains.

  30. well this lady looks silly cuz those airstrikes did come the following day.
