Hizbullah Leader Nasrallah, Seven Months Before Pager Attack: Especially The Fighters And Their Families Should Refrain From Using Cell Phones – Disable Them, Bury Them, Lock Them In A Metal Box; We Have Taken Internal Measures To Deal With This

Source: Online Platforms – “Spot Shot (Lebanon) on YouTube”

Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah said in a speech that was posted to the Spot Shot YouTube channel on February 13, 2024 that Israel does not need human collaborators because people carry cell phones with them wherever they go. He said that Israel taps people’s cell phones and monitors their location, conversations, data, images, and families, whether they are at home, at work, or in the car. He said that Israel even knows in which seat in the car a person is riding in, and he called on the “brothers” throughout southern Lebanon to refrain from using cell phones, which he referred to as “lethal collaborators,” and to disable or bury them for weeks, months, or however long is necessary in order to protect their security, lives, and honor. He added that people cannot live without their cell phones, but that Islamic law prohibits this during a time of war because it endangers people’s lives.

The biggest unanswered questions about the Hezbollah pager attack

Over the past two days, the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah has been targeted with an attack as sophisticated and audacious as it is brutal, with the devices in their own pockets turned into deadly weapons.

On Tuesday, hundreds of pagers distributed by Hezbollah to its members and associates in Lebanon and Syria exploded, killing at least 12 people, including two children, and injuring nearly 3,000. Then, in a follow-up attack on Wednesday, thousands of two-way radios used by the group exploded, killing nine people and wounding some 300, some of whom had been attending the funerals of those killed in the earlier attack. There have also been reports of solar energy systems exploding in several areas of Lebanon, but few details have been reported about these incidents.

Machine guns instead of Patriot, monuments in covers and the transition to the Ukrainian language – how Kharkov lives on the front line

Russia attacked Kharkov in the first days of a full-scale invasion and even managed to occupy part of the Kharkov region for several months. After its liberation in September 2022, the city with a population of over a million remains a frontline city, daily subjected to bombing and shelling by missiles and kamikaze drones. Journalist and Ukrainian Armed Forces serviceman Yuriy Matsarsky, having visited his hometown, discovered that despite the shelling, Kharkov not only continues to live its own life (cafes, the metro, and even the zoo are open, only schools have switched to remote learning), but has also become more patriotic. Residents began to speak more Ukrainian, carried out an inspection of monuments (covering with covers those who are no longer respected in Ukraine) and are doing everything to help the defenders from the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
