well, and they also get Hezbollah to spend time rechecking all their hardware. But yes, questionable.

Sabotaging comms networks & injuring personnel is far more strategically valuable than a new cycle win

@nike In the short term. In the long term it aides recruitment. Which is the big question: are they doing this to taunt them or are they *actually* going to do something?

It won't be any easier for them than it is today.

@nike it certainly seems that way

@Marshall1Banana @deprecated_ii that's hard to say. You are speaking from a very first world centric place.
Pagers are cheap, very cheap. Have long battery life, don't take a lot of data.
You can go to a lot of countries where your assumptions about network speeds for phones can get readjusted. The tower might say 4G, 3G .. but that doesn't mean you'll see those speeds.

@deprecated_ii @sickburnbro I don't think they really care who those pagers went to, so long as they were within Lebanon. But I think only people that wouldn't want a cell phone specifically would be using a pager in 2024. They should probably beef up their bomb sniffing tech from now on, that or use GPS spoofing stuff if they ever go to cell phones

@sickburnbro because that's all israel was capable of doing :02_shrug:
they have no idea who got those pagers. they were relying on the fact that the people likely to use pagers are the people they want to injure or kill, whether it's hezbollah or hospital personnel or firefighters
