The fear spread quickly.
Some people hurried to disconnect their appliances. Others unplugged the inverters and solar systems powering their homes. Many kept their cellphones away from them and refused to answer calls. Baby monitors, televisions, laptops — residents of Lebanon viewed them all with suspicion.
“Maybe tomorrow lighters will explode, too,” said Hussein Awada, 54, who works as a private driver. On Wednesday, Mr. Awada witnessed the second wave of attacks on Hezbollah, a day after thousands of Hezbollah pagers blew up. He had watched as a man had his hand blown off by the two-way radio he was holding.
“I saw stuff today that you can only see in movies,” he said. At least 32 people have died in the attacks, a significant number of which Hezbollah confirmed as members, although children and health workers were among the dead. More than 3,000 (THREE T H O U S A N D) other people were confirmed to have been wounded in the attacks since Tuesday afternoon, many maimed with hand or face injuries.
“In Dahieh, it’s hard to find anyone who doesn’t know someone who was affected,” said Mortada Smaoui, 30, a local business owner. On Tuesday, Mr. Smaoui rushed to the nearest hospital, heeding calls for volunteers to donate blood. There he witnessed the chaos firsthand: bodies being carried away in blood-soaked sheets, family members frantically searching for their loved ones and the wails of injured victims who were being turned away because of a lack of beds.
Dr. Salah Zeineddine, the chief medical officer at the American University of Beirut Medical Center, said the attacks were “beyond any catastrophe” he had dealt with before. Nearly 200 patients were rushed into the hospital in just three hours on Tuesday after the first wave of explosions, quickly swamping it.
“There have been so many catastrophes and mass casualties in Lebanon, but this was the first time we have seen so many casualties in such a short period of time,” Dr. Zeineddine said. The wounded were still being tended to on Wednesday when the second round of blasts struck. “People in the streets were screaming,” Adnan Berro, 61, said. “It was chaos. There was so much blood — on their hands, their faces, everywhere.” “I have never seen anything like it,” he said.

Imagine if Democrats deemed YOU a terrorist, put explosives in your electronic devices, and someone you love was killed by it.
How far is too far? At what point does it end?
WHO WILL PUT AN END TO THE ENDLESS?

Poor Hezbollah fighters
no, I’m not on the fence at all. I don’t support either of them. This one simple trick 🤷♀️
Yup. This isn't our fight. Get the US out of middle eastern politics and wars.
Well, I mean, If my loved one was a terrorist who was involved in a terrorist organization that was looking to eradicate all of the people of Canada because, they didn't like their silly accents and so had been making plans to do so or had been attacking Canadian citizens with drones and the like, I am not so certain I could "Blame Canada" with this one. Sorry mate, I would of been very disappointed that my loved one was involved in such nasty activities. The terrorists in that terrorist organization put their loved ones at risk as well, as far as carnage goes, the pager event was better than a drone attack that kills everyone in the area to get the one person. People on ALL sides need to just knock it off, ALL sides. When a person is in the military and on deployment, risks are there same as ANYONE carrying one of the Terrorist handed out pagers, they accepted that same risk, as it stands. If they were not active, they would not have a reason to be using that pager. Now, onto the talkies, not paid attention to exactly who was targeted there. IF it was just random citizens, that is bad.
Maybe don't be a terrorist fuck?
The only thing that can end that kind of hatred is God and his Son and The Holy Spirit. These people have an opportunity to turn away from this evil and to begin to follow the teachings of Christ. To think those savages call themselves the chosen. I have no doubt there are chosen jews, but those responsible for this are simply evil. It truly takes a person who has submitted themselves completely to evil to even think up an atrocity such as this.
