I do not believe Taiwan was some kind of covert operation to end specific lives. I think phone numbers were targeted and the lithium batteries were made to over heat. If it is that easy to weaponize lithium batteries, I don’t need a personal phone and I am going to be very happy with landlines.
I mean every word.
If Trump were ever to get his hands on this technology he would use it everyday of his life. Netanyahu would provide it as an inauguration gift. Every autocrat in the world is going to be mimicking this technology. Every coder out there, especially terrorists, will be mimicking this technology. Israel did not do the world a favor on this one.
Treaties govern the treatment of civilians, soldiers and prisoners of war in a system collectively known as the "Law of Armed Conflict" or "International Humanitarian Law". It applies to government forces and organised, non-state armed groups, which would include Hamas militants....
I have understood a lot of the aggression shown by Israel in response to the attacks on innocent civilians nearly a year ago, but, I think this is getting a little heinous. Netanyahu will not stop. Masood has to review the Geneva Convention.
The problem in all this and why Israel is somewhat tolerated for it's aggression is because Hamas doesn't play by the rules. Most terrorist networks don't. So, the argument is how can a sovereign military adhere to international law if it is assaulted by entities that do not.
Israel needs to consider it's aggression and readdressing the strategy it is currently adhering to considering many of the leaders of these organized crime terrorist groups are being eliminated. I realize where one leader is eliminated there stands many more to take their place in most cases. But, this cannot go on forever. There needs to be a peace treaty and not just cease fire.

Lebanon's health ministry said the initial casualty toll was one person killed and more than 100 injured. Earlier the state news agency said three people had died.
At least one of the blasts took place near a funeral organised by Iran-backed Hezbollah for those killed the previous day when thousands of pagers used by the group exploded across the country and wounded many of its fighters....
Below is the exploded device which shows no remaining battery. There are several pictures online and they look basically the same.

The model of pagers (click here) used in detonations in Lebanon were made by Budapest-based BAC Consulting, Taiwanese pager firm Gold Apollo said on Wednesday, adding it had only licensed out its brand to the company and was not involved in the production of the devices.
At least nine people were killed and nearly 3,000 wounded when pagers used by Hezbollah members detonated simultaneously across Lebanon on Tuesday. According to a senior Lebanese security source and another source, explosives inside the devices were planted by Israel's Mossad spy agency.
The Hungarian government’s position on the "pager issue": authorities have confirmed that the company in question is a trading intermediary, with no manufacturing or operational site in Hungary. It has one manager registered at its declared address, and the referenced devices have never been in Hungary.
During further investigations, Hungarian national security services are cooperating with all relevant international partner agencies and organizations.
To Hungary, this case poses no national security risk.
