Eight people are killed and nearly 3,000 are injured after hundreds of personal communication devices exploded simultaneously.

Local media report says the pagers simultaneously exploded across the country after being hacked by Israel.

Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara calls Israel’s cyber attack on Hezbollah a major escalation, describing it as an "act of mass terror".

Since the advent of OAI-PMH, organizational operators have failed to ensure their endpoints expose #data optimally. Literally for 20 years I have read about this issue! Things are a bit better today but far too many open #repositories are still failing.

CORE has this data provider guide which functions as a steer, if you are interested in your service being harvested optimally -- which you should be! 😀

From the look of the video clip, it seems pretty unlikely more than a few innocent bystanders were significantly injured. There were a couple people very close to the target, and they don't seem to have been injured at all.

As noted in the article, Hezbollah uses pagers instead of smart phones because the microphones and cameras of smart phones are more of a risk of being used to spy on them. So I really doubt any of the pagers would be in innocent hands - at this point budget smart phones are cheaper.

If the claimed health official numbers are correct, an absolutely incredible number of Hezbollah were injured in this attack.

Not that I'm a fan of what Bibi is doing in Gaza and the West Bank every day. That's way worse in every respect.

Lebanon is a quasi-failed state with spotty power and spotty phone network. It's quite probable that a significant number of people chose to use pagers instead of phones because of that. Also, the way Lebanese society is organised means many people depend upon Hezbollah services and hand-outs. So actually quite a lot of innocent people may have been hurt.

That's exactly like Israeli government pretends that they're killing "Hamas members" in Gaza. As Hamas has been running the place for 18 years, whoever works in public services, police, trash removal or street cleaning or bus driving is by this definition a "Hamas member".

For a Jew, Lunduke seems not that bad. I appreciate him going after Big Tech, and Big Linux, and exposing their openly racist and sexist practices.

But, in this recent video, he asserts that "From the River to the Sea" is antisemitic, and there CAN ONLY BE one meaning, which is that all jews should be exterminated from the region.

I always thought this was a pro-jewish term, meaning that Israel will conquer this whole region.

What do you think?

The world MUST condemn AND STOP Israel's wanton attacks on its neighbors!!! If the US fails to corral Israel, the consequence is likely to be a regional war in the mideast with the US as a central player.
-- 🤬 🤬 🤬 Israel caused hundreds of handheld pagers to explode near simultaneously across Lebanon and in parts of Syria on Tuesday, wounding the Iranian ambassador and dozens of Syrians.
... sophisticated, remote attack

Also... Israel acceded to the 1980 "Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons", all protocols, among which is the "Protocol on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Mines, Booby-Traps and Other Devices", by which e.g.
"It is prohibited to use booby-traps or other devices in the form of apparently harmless portable objects which are specifically designed and constructed to contain explosive material.",

#Facebook owner bans Russian state #media networks

Facebook owner Meta says it is banning several Russian state media networks, alleging they use deceptive tactics to conduct influence operations and avoid detection on its platforms.

Its peculiar to notice the absence of refutes to any news articles RT present. Surely if they were so deep in the influence operations as claimed then agencies or opposing journalists would be quick to point specifics out, deconstruct and expose the news articles, but it does not happen.
Listen to the 'other sides' perspective is good and needed, but politicians like a single minded narrative that they control for their public. So we love censorship!

The US has imposed sanctions on yet another Israeli spyware firm, Intellexa, citing the “threats” that it poses to national security.

The move comes in the wake of the ongoing global scandal surrounding Israeli spyware companies, most notably NSO Group, which has been accused of selling espionage technology to some of the world’s most repressive regimes to target journalists, critics and human rights activists.
