 THE STORY : Ok yesterday about 3:30 PM Beirut time (or 8:30 PM KL time) throughout Beirut, Lebanon and also in parts of Syria - some 3,000 or more telephone pagers (see sample picture below) carried by 3,000 Hezbollah members and Iranian military officers engaged in Lebanon suddenly exploded automatically. 

• Picture of pager above is for illustrative purposes only. 
• This device was NOT involved in Lebanon
  

Here is a BBC report:

• Hezbollah relied heavily on pagers to evade location-tracking by Israel
• pager wireless device displays alphanumeric or voice messages.
• Hezbollah abandoned mobile phones as too vulnerable
• since assassination of Hamas bomb-maker Yahya Ayyash in 1996
• pagers were new brand that Hezbollah had not used before
• security breach was deeply embarrassing to Hezbollah
• "deep" penetration of Hezbollah's "communications network"
• questions their entire security apparatus

My Comments :

This is Mossad, Mossad, Mossad. No doubts about it.   The Israelis have cleverly penetrated Hezbollahs military supply chain.  

According to online media, about THREE MONTHS ago ALL the 3,000 or more pagers were distributed to Hezbollah members and Iranian military advisors (plus that Iranian ambassador to Syria).

These pagers were meant for the EXCLUSIVE use of Hezbollah members, Hezbollah fighters, Hezbollah support groups, Hezbollah spies, Hezbollah sleepers etc.  It was a very precise list of people who ended up being targets. 

Obviously the Israelis had penetrated Hezbollah's supply chain and tampered with the pagers. They had placed a small amount of explosives inside each pager (likely disguised as an electronic component) which exploded when Israel sent a signal to all the 3,000 or more pagers. 

This would have been the work of the Mossad and Israel's Unit 8200 signals intelligence outfit.

 

UNIT 8200 of the Israeli Defence Forces is "responsible for clandestine operation, collecting signal intelligence (SIGINT) and code decryption, counterintelligence, cyberwarfare, military intelligence, and surveillance".

CONCLUSION : Before YOU DO NOT GET EXCITED,  the Hezbollah of Lebanon are Shias. Although they also claim to be fighting for Palestine (which is another false claim) no one in the Sunni world cares about the Hezbollah - because they are Shias. 

• In Malaysia nobody cares about the Hezbollah
• Again because they are Shias. 
• The Shias can go to hell. 
• Nobody cares about the Shias. 

For example there will be no "condemnation" statements by the Prime Minister of Hamas over the "attack" yesterday where 3,000 Hezbollah members were injured or 40 of them were killed in Lebanon and Syria

• This illustrates the complete hypocrisy or munafiqoon of the average Muslim around the world. 
• They just do not care about each other simply because of some stupid sectarian differences. 
• This is why the rest of the world makes fun of and does not care about the Muslims.
