Israel turns the pager on terror with ruthless psychological masterstroke against Hezbollah

Nobody likes to see humans writhing in agony, but Israel’s daring operation to simultaneously explode pagers in the pockets of Hezbollah terrorists and their associates this week was a ruthless tactical masterstroke. 

In bloody scenes captured on video on social media, men could be seen shopping or sitting on a motorbike one minute and on the ground moaning and covered in blood the next.

At least 12 people were killed and nearly 3,000 people were injured in Lebanon on Tuesday, and a similar detonation of Hezbollah walkie-talkies the next day killed another 20 people and injured 450.
