Barak Ravid – Axios Sept 17, 2024
Israel didn’t inform the Biden administration ahead of its intelligence operation that included exploding thousands of Hezbollah members’ pager devices, two U.S. officials told Axios.
Why it matters: The explosions killed at least nine people, including a child, and wounded 2,750 others, among them many members of Hezbollah and its military units.
- The U.S. “was not aware of this operation and was not involved” in it, U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said, adding that the U.S. is “still gathering information” about the explosions in Lebanon. He didn’t confirm that Israel was behind the attack.
- The operation also shut down a significant part of Hezbollah’s military command and control system.
- Hezbollah accused Israel of conducting the attack and pledged to retaliate.
- Israeli officials said they are aware that a major escalation on the northern border is possible after the attack and said Israel Defense Forces are on high alert for a possible response by Hezbollah.
Driving the news: The operation was approved earlier this week during security meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior members of his cabinet and the heads of the security services, a source with knowledge said.
- It took place a day after U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein visited Israel and warned Netanyahu of the consequences of a major escalation in Lebanon.
- On Tuesday, Netanyahu and Israel’s Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant spent several hours at the IDF command center in Tel Aviv, an Israeli official said.
Between the lines: The Israeli security cabinet decided on Monday night to update the goals of the war to include the safe return of displaced Israelis to their homes on the border with Lebanon.
- “Israel will continue to act to implement this goal,” the Prime Minister’s office said.
- The decision to update the goals of the war was meant to signal that Israel is going to turn its attention from Gaza to the Lebanese front, Israeli officials said.
Behind the scenes: A source with knowledge of the issue said Israel conducted the operation in order to take its fighting against Hezbollah into new phase, while attempting to still not escalate to the level of an all out war, one source said.
- The Israeli operation was aimed at undermining Hezbollah’s confidence and creating a feeling in the ranks of the militia that it is totally penetrated by Israeli intelligence services, the source said.
- The source said Israeli intelligence services assessed ahead of the operation that Hezbollah would likely retaliate with a major attack against Israel.
“Dial M for murder” ..
We are gathering information?
The Nazi are beyond evil. Nuke the feckers ASAP.
An aside, there’s no way the US didn’t know about this genocidal war crime.
DUMB Yanks are ONLY the “hired help”… and Israel does wtf it wants…so why would Israel – as if it needed permission – bother to “tell the US”??

Older models did not explode but recent distributed models, the Hospital of the American University in Beirut took in all pagers 10 days ago from the doctors and nurses and replaced them due to “technical problems” acc to personnel, also in Damascus, Syria pagers exploded .. source: Middle_East_Spectator ..
They no longer need the intelligence to be gathered. So Israel destroyed the things. Attack by Israel is imminent.
No mention of device, other devices exploding, catching fire in other devices worldwide.
What is it, Stuxnet II? Is it dangerous code that could be let lose on the world?
oh boy…the Pogrom when the WHOLE WORLD

Exactly — U.S. is Ziosttan’s bitch, they don’t have to check with Bidet or Skamala before carrying out an ‘intelligence operation’ i.e, murder and mayhem.
Re Pagers:
Some are saying that they were tampered with along the supply chain before end users received them.
Also a strong possibility of an inside job.
Of course we will suspect Lithium in batteries etc.but not proven yet.
Maybe God hates the Moslems, though? Prophets warn against ostentatious worship
Pagers repurposed by Israel to blow folk up.
Because of sanctions these devices were held by third party for three months before distribution to Lebanon. Sophisticated explosive device was installed.
Folk being blown up in Syria also…

I sometimes refer to our greatest ally in the middle east as Jewistan.
MUSLIM RAPE GANGS
Reform UK’s Rupert Lowe demands deportations after Rotherham sentencing of muslim rape gangs – ‘Why should pensioners have to pay for them in prison?’
reform UK MP Rupert Lowe has called for the deportation of foreign criminals following the sentencing of men in one of the Rotherham child rape gangs.
Speaking to GB News, Lowe criticised a judge’s racist decision to censor a victim’s statement requesting deportation of her rapists
A Rotherham rape gangs survivor was ordered by an outrageous judge to remove a demand for her rapists to be deported. The woman, who has her identity protected by court order, gave a moving statement in Sheffield Crown Court last week, over 20 years after she was groomed and abused from the age of 11.
Speaking to GB News, the Reform MP said: “It seems that the system is skewed towards protecting those people who perpetrate crime rather than suffer it.”
He described the judge’s intervention as “extraordinary” and indicative of a failing multicultural society.
Lowe argued that foreign criminals and their dependents should be sent home, stating: “I really don’t see why British pensioners should suffer and pay for these people when ultimately many of them are going to freeze this winter.”
Several petitions went before parliament to send rapists back to country of origin
police agree the judges racist decision was totally out of line
Accusing myself of being an ever cynical bastard ,a liar……..a thought came up.these humus gulpers deserve nothing but a scornful approach.what have these degenerates done to get back at the israelis?they destroyed their ‘hood’ several times over.the biggest blast ever recorded in the galaxy,occured in their shitty little cuntry.these sodomists and jezebels are the offspring of the aforementioned biblical figures.le banan was called the ‘par-isis of the diddle east, faggots for rent and whores for free.where drank flowed richly and ‘red lebanan’ burned for incense.then the jews came as divine retributionists.
For all pro palestinians,has any body or organ of lebananese 🍌🍌protested against the Jewish rampage?no.has any pallie on the westbank taken to the streets?has the pee-el-🚽oo come the the assistance of their pallie brethren in gazza?no.life goes on, unhindered by any suffering of other pallies,just 100miles away .it seems the only ones to care are europeans and americans.
Another detestable display of faggotry was the pony-tailed son of a whore and a thief ,saad harira.the front-homo of the sunnites.good they blew up the fat and ugly guy that spawned it.good they demolished the hood in the eighties.it offered good content,one could entertain ones-self just by watching the news.
The uman league made a fantastic video to these lyrics https://genius.com/The-human-league-the-lebanon-lyrics.
“Jews who run the US didn’t tell themselves what before they did it”
what an oxymoron statement to make!
Liar: The Israelis would be occupying Lebanon now if the Lebanese were as weak as you say they are. Instead, Israel’s had its ass beaten twice by them, and are heading for a third ass-beating.
Your moniker is appropriate. We are here to learn and hear of the truth, not lies…go to a pro-Jew site to practice being a Liar. Are you Mossad?
I’m not Arabic, but I love hummus and all other Arabic food. The Jews claim to have invented it now. Of course, they do that with everything that is good! I believe they did in fact have a leading hand in creating nuclear bombs and power plants (the Devil’s work, of course).
