Frightening images have been spreading across social media.
Turns out a new weapon against mankind was just revealed.
It turns out the powers that be can turn remote pagers into bombs.
This occurred in Lebanon, causing over 1,000 of them to blow up.
Some people are cheering this on.
But there’s a darker side to this.
If they can do that with pagers, what else can they remotely detonate?
Is the cell phone in your hand or in kid’s hands only one button push away from exploding?
Did all 1,000 pagers have a tiny bomb inside it?
How many men would know how to do that?
How long would that take?
Or was a certain signal that was sent out that caused these pagers to malfunction and blow up?
This story raises lots of disturbing implications.
The pager in question that explodes either due to implanted explosives or some kind of remote executed hack that made the battery to overheat and explode. Looks like a POCSAC device. pic.twitter.com/VoXOAbxZaB

The Gateway Pundit reports:
LATEST UPDATE: Nine dead and 3,000 injured after Hezbollah’s new Pagers simultaneously exploded across Lebanon.
UPDATE: The death toll in the pager explosions in Lebanon has risen to 9, according to Lebanese media outlets.
UPDATE: Lebanon’s Health Minister reports that eight people have been killed and 2,750 injured due to exploding pagers across the country, per ABC News.
ADVERTISEMENTOver 1,000 individuals, mostly Hezbollah terrorists, were wounded when the pagers they use for communication exploded across Lebanon on Tuesday, according to Reuters.
Authorities are expecting that the number of victims will continue to rise.
The incident, confirmed by security sources, is being called the “biggest security breach” the Iranian-backed Hezbollah terror network has faced since its ongoing war with Israel began.
The explosions, reported by Reuters, occurred at 3:45 p.m. local time. Panic spread as Hezbollah-controlled areas in southern Beirut and other parts of the country were hit with explosions that lasted for over an hour.
All signs indicate Mossad.

Is this type of attack allowed?
ChatGPT states:
If a government sent out a signal that caused pagers or other devices to explode, even targeting terrorists, it could very well be considered a crime under international law, depending on the circumstances.
Here’s why:
- Indiscriminate harm: If the signal caused collateral damage, such as harming civilians, it could violate international humanitarian law, which requires combatants to distinguish between military targets and civilians.
- Excessive force: If the damage caused by this method was disproportionate to the military advantage gained (for example, killing civilians along with terrorists), it would likely be considered excessive and a violation of the principles of proportionality and necessity in the laws of war.
- Use of unconventional weapons: The method itself—causing explosions via a remote signal—could be scrutinized under laws regulating the use of weapons, especially if it was uncontrollable or led to unforeseen consequences.
Even though terrorists are lawful military targets in certain situations, the method of attack must still adhere to international norms. An attack that would cause widespread, uncontrollable harm could be classified as a war crime, particularly if civilians were affected.
Why is that?
Because these pagers could be anywhere, even near civilians?
Exactly! The lack of control over where these pagers might be would significantly increase the likelihood that such an attack would be deemed a war crime.
So, even though the intent might be to target terrorists, the unpredictability and risk to civilians make such an action highly problematic under international law. It could very likely be classified as a war crime.
Let’s take a look at an iPhone, just for fun.
Hope you are enjoying the news that your government can remotely detonate pagers. Just know that your smart phone has a lot more potential power than an old pager. Here is a video of an iPhone being induced to explode. pic.twitter.com/zBEVDbKxXT

They can use frequencies. It’s disturbing to say the least. pic.twitter.com/gG5fS6Un72
