We are basically watching what governments can do with modern tech when the gloves come off. 

 It's sick. Very concerning in terms of trust placed in production and supply chain. 

 Civilians?? 🤡 

 The word "civilians" with two question marks and a clown emoji to imply you don't believe...  what exactly?

You don't believe anyone in Lebanon is a civilian?

You don't believe Israel would target civilians?

I'm gonna say this in words instead of emoji: fuck off, glowie clown piece of shit. 

 Pagers given to Hezbollah personnel exploded.
Random civilians don’t carry these specific pagers. In fact we’re living in 2024 and random civilians don’t carry pagers at all! 

 Yes they do and one of the victims was an 8-year-old girl (do you think that was her own pager?)

Stop wasting time with your bullshit, this is nostr not X

 Never putting my phone in my pocket again 

 If you're taking the threat of a phone bomb that seriously, I would try to use small phones you can use in one hand.

Less space for hidden bombs, and less chance of crippling both hands. 

 This is the craziest shit I've ever heard of

Seriously sci-fi novel shit 

 Sinister that the pagers beeped before exploding so the people would pick them up and read them. Horrifying

 How does one even make a pager explode!?

Very concerning.

I say as anxiety clouds my thoughts while I hold this phone.... 

 Phone manufacturer can definitely hide bombs in devices, or hide a security flaw allowing the phone to overcharge and overheat itself to start a fire.

I wish I had advice for what to do about this, but I don't. This is one of those things like drone strikes we all have to fear the authorities having the power to do to us as society keeps collapsing further into dystopia. 

 The customer that called while I was in chat was asking me about the pagers. That's why I ended up on the phone so long.

 To receive pages, probably. Do you not know what a pager is? 

 Those were pagers given to Hezbollah personnel because they were afraid that their cellphones will be tracked or hacked.
Cope harder. 

 One of the victims was an 8 year old girl.

Don't cope harder - stop coping. 

 This is war, innocent people sometimes get hurt. Targeting those pagers had a magnificent military-men to civilians ratio. All on active duty!
Unlike the thousands of rockets that Hezbollah rained on Israeli cities (and the fact that Israel’s Iron Dome intercepts most of them, doesn’t change Hezbollah’s intentions). https://i.nostr.build/TiYS6E6OW31YD8xT.jpg  

 Not reading this, but tagging your profile as someone who defends the genocidal murder of children 

 Israel just keeps inventing new forms of terrorist attack. "Hiding bombs in pagers" wasn't on my bingo card at all.

I recommend sources ending in .com.lb for news about Lebanon, here's a link to Hezbollah's official video response https://english.almanar.com.lb/2199177 (english.almanar.com.lb is the official news site of Hezbollah, they also have Al Manar TV the satellite TV news station) 

 My bad, nothing is loading on that page right now so here's an article from another source
