I, along with the rest of the world when I cranked my notebook computer up and logged on to the news. In Lebanon, simultaneously pagers started exploding in the hands and pockets of Hezbollah leaders. There were pagers beeping with a message from Hezbollah headquarters to gain user’s attention before blowing up in their hands.

The Iranian ambassador to Lebanon Mojtaba Amani was blinded as the device blew up just as he was reading the message, the ambassador wasn’t the only person blinded, all up, around 500 Hezbollah operatives lost their sight. Other Hezbollah terrorists had their fingers and hands blown off. I feel no pity for these people, they are operatives from a terrorist organisation, for these terrorists to be injured in blasts is nothing short of ironic.

I was almost in disbelief, the audacity of the organisation who organised this coordinated attack is nothing short of remarkable. This is a plot straight out of a James Bond movie. Israel has remained quiet here, they have not come out and taken responsibility for this attack. We all immediately believe this is the work of Mossad, this is exactly what one would expect from such a highly rated intelligence agency.

The idea formation, the planning and the execution is unbelievable. Hezbollah had become aware of Israeli mobile phone tracking, they needed to secure their communications so took a step back in technology and procured old school pagers. What we are yet to learn is how Israeli intelligence was able to [presumably] able to infiltrate the supply chain to compromise the pagers. How the bombs were planted in the devices is still yet to be determined, one presumes this occurred during shipping and not manufacture.

Then a few days later, two-way radio units exploded too, this was once again unreal. Just like the initial explosions, this caught Hezbollah operatives unaware and more deaths and casualties ensured. How could they have been caught out again? This became humorous, they come as a bunch of Jew hating simpletons. I typically find racists uneducated and lacking in intelligence and empathy, so they fit the stereotype exactly as described – idiots.
