BAZOURIEH, Lebanon (AP) — On Sept. 17, 2024, thousands of pagers distributed to the Hezbollah group exploded across Lebanon, remotely detonated by Israel and aimed at disrupting the Iran-backed group as it fired almost daily at Israel in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

Israel boasted of its prowess. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented U.S. President Donald Trump with a golden pager as a gift.

      Hezbollah is absolute scum, but that doesn’t come close to excusing the pager attack. Even if this attack was perfectly targeted it would’ve been a war crime, and it sure as hell wasn’t.
