Israel carried out its operation against Hezbollah on Tuesday by hiding explosive material within a new batch of Taiwanese-made pagers imported into Lebanon, according to American and other officials briefed on the operation.

The pagers, which Hezbollah had ordered from Gold Apollo in Taiwan, had been tampered with before they reached Lebanon, according to some of the officials. Most were the company’s AP924 model, though three other Gold Apollo models were also included in the shipment.

The explosive material, as little as one to two ounces, was implanted next to the battery in each pager, two of the officials said. A switch was also embedded that could be triggered remotely to detonate the explosives.

      The other shit they did informs us of they way they think.

      I understand why you’d assume they’re being sarcastic, but someone who literally believes Israel is killing bad guys isn’t going to express sarcasm that way. Those are not the posts of someone concerned with blowback.

        No , it can infer character.

        It’s not going to change objective fact.

        Read that statement and go point by point as to why you believe it could only be serious. You’ll be left having to say it’s probably sarcastic because of its content not it’s creators character.

        MLK talked about this shit dude.
