The Israel vs Muslim War Continues to Escalate a Year After the Hamas Attacks
5000 booby-trapped pagers explode in Lebanon, killing 9 people and injuring about 2800.
When people think of the turmoil in the middle east, it’s always been a big mess. Whether it’s the Shia’s fighting the Sunni’s or Israel creating tensions with their neighbors, there has always been conflict.
But now there’s seems to be a more concentrated pattern with the entire muslim world vs Israel.
And it now just got worse with these pager attacks in Lebanon.
Israel has been fighting with the Sunni brach of Islam (Hamas) in Gaza and now it seems things are about to escalate with the other main branch, the Shias, with Israel attacking Hezbollah in the north.
Hezbollah is an Iran-backed Islamist movement with one of the most powerful paramilitary forces in the Middle East. The group, which has its main base on the Israel-Lebanon border, could become a wildcard player in the Hamas-Israel war, and spark a wider regional conflict.
When the Hamas conflict started last year, it was unclear whether Hezbollah was going to intervene in the Hamas-Israel war on behalf of the Palestinians. But now it seems inevitable that they will join them.
It’s almost as if some sort of hidden hand wants this to happen in the background to usher in Albert Pike’s WWIII.
Here’s my article from last year for those interested:
Next month on October 7th will be the one year anniversary of the Hamas attacks on Israel and it seems the war will continue to escalate.
Pager Attacks
The New York Times reported on 09/17/24 that Israel hid explosives inside a batch of pagers ordered from Taiwanese manufacturer Gold Apollo and destined for Hezbollah. A switch was embedded to detonate them remotely.
Gold Apollo’s founder and chairperson told reporters Wednesday that the pagers used in the attack were made by a European distributor. Hsu Ching-kuang said his firm had signed a contract with the distributor to use the Gold Apollo brand.
In a statement, Gold Apollo said the company that produces and sells the AR924 pager model is Hungary-based BAC Consulting KFT.
The wave of explosions affected several areas in Lebanon, particularly the southern suburbs of Beirut, according to Lebanon’s Internal Security Forces.
NNA reported that “hacked” pager devices exploded in the towns of Ali Al-Nahri and Riyaq in the central Beqaa valley, resulting in a significant number of injuries. The locations are Hezbollah strongholds.
Israel placed explosive material in a batch of Taiwanese-made pagers imported into Lebanon and destined for Hezbollah, The New York Times reported, citing American and other officials briefed on the operation.
At the start of the year, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah called on members and their families in southern Lebanon, where fighting with Israeli forces across the border has raged, to dump their cellphones, believing Israel could track the movement of the Iran-backed terror network through those devices:
“Shut it off, bury it, put it in an iron chest and lock it up,” he said in February. “The collaborator (with the Israelis) is the cell phone in your hands, and those of your wife and your children. This cell phone is the collaborator and the killer.”
The operation was also likely designed to create a high-level of paranoia among Hezbollah members, degrade their ability to recruit people, and erode confidence in the leadership of Hezbollah and their ability to secure their operations and people.
Hezbollah has long touted secrecy as a cornerstone of its military strategy, forgoing high-tech devices to avoid infiltration from Israeli and US spyware.
Unlike other non-state actors in the Middle East, Hezbollah units are believed to communicate through an internal communications network. This is considered one of the key building blocks of the powerful group that has long been accused of operating as a state-within-a-state.

I’m at a crossroads in my career as an investigative journalist. I would love to make this my full time gig and do even more work for everyone.
If some of you are being called to help me that would be able to change my life and I could dedicate all my time to pushing the truth. God Bless and keeping pushing the TRUTH out there.
Mass Murderers rarely care who all dies.
If this was about punishing hamas it would’ve been done in a week. Wars like this feed on self hatred, not self love.
