Panic in Lebanon, Syria, Iran
"We hold the Israeli enemy fully responsible for this criminal aggression that also targeted civilians.""Anyone who has a device take out the battery now!""Turn off your phones, switch it to airplane mode.""Israel will get its just punishment."Hezbollah

The 'enemy' got fed up with terrorist Hezbollah sending hundreds of rockets into northern Israel. Since October 8, the day following the Hamas terrorists' infiltration of southern Israel and the following pogrom of mass rape, torture, mutilation, slaughter of innocent Israeli civilians, in sympathy with Hamas, Lebanon's Hezbollah has continued to fire rockets into Israel. Necessitating the evacuation of tens of thousands of Israelis. And burning acres after acres of Israeli farmland and forests.
If that is not a declaration of war, what is? Hoping to squeeze Israel in a pincer grip, north and south, with the Islamic Republic of Iran, working its puppetry strings on its terrorist proxies, the Israeli military has been forced to fight and root out Hamas terrorists throughout Gaza, hiding in their labyrinth of tunnels while leaving ordinary Gazans to hope they will not become civilian casualties of a war their government launched on their neighbour.
For its part Hamas has realized an amazing victory in gaining the support not only of Arab/Muslim expatriates living in the West, but that of non-Arab/Muslims portraying Israel as the aggressor, forcing death on innocent Palestinians. Since the United Nations General Assembly promulgates that impression it is hardly surprising that members of the general public internationally, deep in the theology of Critical Race Theory are complacent about visualizing Jews/Israel as 'settler/colonialists' and the Palestinians innocent bystanders fighting for a 'state' of their own.
Hours following the Israeli internal security agency foiling an effort by Hezbollah to assassinate a former senior Israeli security office with the use of a planted explosive device, remotely detonated, a wave of explosions rocked Lebanon. New/old technology pagers that had been distributed to Hezbollah operatives were triggered from a wide distance to simultaneously explode. Wherever they were, in operatives' backpacks or their trouser pockets. With credibly unfortunate results.
Hezbollah fumed about 'war crimes' as it announced 2,750 of its terrorist operatives wounded, some critically, as hospitals were swamped with urgent admissions. A handful of Hezbollah terrorists were killed. And, unfortunately, as so often happens when war disrupts life for ordinary civilians, a handful of those too, were impacted. Emergency rooms were looking after patients with chunks blown off their legs, or missing hands.
Messing with Israel will do that. After all, it is the most technologically advanced country in the region; likely in the world. Necessity is the mother of invention. Anticipating a war in the near future with Hezbollah, Israeli technicians were able to develop communication devices - pagers and walkie-talkies - that could share battery space with a few grams of explosives, that would be triggered by a remote-location electrical current.
