Day 2
Today it’s walkie-talkies. Fourteen dead and 450 injured.
Also, unconfirmed reports of phones, motorcycles, fingerprint machines, solar panels, anything with a modern battery exploding. I wonder. So far, all the hits have been incredibly targeted to senior Hezbollah. All those other things would bring higher risk of unintended victims. This may just be panic made manifest in rumor.
That’s the thing – these explosions have hit and crippled the command structure, not the footsoldiers. Israel now has a snapshot of the whole Hezbollah network, including surprises like Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon.
Some of these guys won’t be coming back, either. There are reports that the pagers beeped for a few minutes before going off. How many of them would have been holding them in their hands and looking into them?
Picture not mine. Stole it off of Twitter. If I knew who made it, I’d give proper credit.
