  1. Incredible organisation from whoever did this!

    I imagine Hezbollah is absolutely littered with infiltrators if they can pull this off!

  2. A product that was discontinued 10 years ago, and possibly a fake, was used in the bomb. Pity for the companies involved.

    Most of that product is compact and impossible to squeeze in explosives after the assembly. Not to mention delaying shipments to tamper with 5000+ already assembled electronics without a factory then resealing them without signs of obvious fiddling seems improbable.

    It’s either these companies are in on it, probably due to US pressure. Or they used a Trojan horse part in the manufacturing that is designed to explode, probably supplied by a trusted “ally”.

    Either way, who knows how many more are out there.

  4. Let’s normalize terrorizing terrorists. We are just communicating in the language they understand.

  5. Alli can say to many of you here is that I hope you don’t one day see your own children’s brains splattered in their rooms because another country did a war crime.

    I hope you never have to clean up that brain matter all on your own, haunting you until you take your final breath, because your country is economically crippled by outside forces.

    I hope you never have to go online and see other countries newspapers ignoring the deaths of innocent people you know because “tick tick boom!” is funny when you didn’t see your own child’s head explode right in front of you.

    I hope you don’t die trying to hold a funeral for your child who died only days before.

    I hope that your internet presence isn’t overshadowed by people you know posting videos of your head caved in, your lifeless eyes glazed over with dust, screaming adults and children in the background, to show the world what is happening. And people laugh and scroll by. Your existence and death is meaningless to people who have at least have some power to stop it.

    I hope America doesn’t receive what it’s given to other nations for decades, I hope America doesn’t receive the absolute unimaginable horror it’s unleashed itself and given other countries permission to unleash for decades.

    I hope no one ever has to suffer at the hands of any country, especially Israel. This was a war crime among the many they have committed and those who are happy this occurred will not see the light of heaven.
