Earlier this week, around a dozen people were killed and several thousands more were injured after pager devices were detonated. Israel did not claim responsibility for the attacks, but it has been widely assumed they did them. It is believed the explosives were implanted into the devices when they were manufactured.
Roughly another 20 people lost their lives and around 450 people were injured after walkie-talkies, laptops and radios exploded on Thursday.
These videos provide more details:
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati has declared the nation is at war after these attacks took place. Mikati said in a statement on Thursday:
This mass crime… against defenseless people in their homes, who are being killed in this way, is indescribable. This war started about 11 months ago and it is affecting our people in the south where their homes are being destroyed.
We are facing an enemy that disregards all international and humanitarian laws, and the question is – can this continue? Where is the UN, whose primary mission is to distribute peace?
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah described these attacks as a “massacre” and “a declaration of war.”
“This is sheer terrorism,” he said.” We’ll call them Tuesday’s massacre and Wednesday’s massacre. These are war crimes or at least a declaration of war.
“There is no doubt that we suffered a major security and humanitarian blow, unprecedented in the history of our resistance. We have been hit hard, but this is the state of war, and we understand that the enemy has technological superiority,” Nasrallah added.
On Wednesday, after the first round of pager attacks, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said they are shifting their military forces northbound to confront Hezbollah, in what he described as “a new phase” of the war, which is nearing its first anniversary since October 7th.
“The center of gravity is moving north. We are diverting forces, resources, and energy toward the north,” he said in a published social media post.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin spoke with Gallant today, according to a note from the Pentagon, which said:
“The Secretary strongly reemphasized the importance of reaching a diplomatic resolution that enables residents to return safely to their homes on both sides of the border. The Secretary also urged continued efforts to reach a ceasefire deal in Gaza that would bring home all hostages held by Hamas. Secretary Austin reaffirmed the United States’ unwavering, enduring, and ironclad commitment to Israel’s security.”
As part of this “new phase” for Israel, the country conducted strikes in Beirut today, which led to the death of ‘Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Aqil and the top leadership of the terror group’s operations array and elite Radwan Force,’ The Times of Israel reported, and who ‘were gathered underground when they were targeted and killed in an Israeli airstrike.’
Israeli Defense Force (IDF) Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a statement:
“Aqil and the Radwan Force commanders who we attacked are the commanders who drew up and led the Hezbollah terror group’s plan, to be carried out on the day the order was given, to attack into the northern territory of the State of Israel — what they called ‘The plan to conquer the Galilee’.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, commenting on the strikes in Beirut, said: “Our goals are clear, and our actions speak for themselves.”
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
The WP had reported in June that it was becoming apparent Israel was planning to turn its attention towards Hezbollah up north, even though they have failed to route out Hamas (which they never really intended to do); and apparently there were peace plans in the works and then this happened, so those plans I imagine are out the window.
Unlike so many other Christian-based outlets, I don’t incessantly cover every little thing that happens in Israel and the Middle East. Most of these publications are just sensationalists and hype jockeys, and are incredibly biased, nearsighted and stouthearted in their views.
Needless to say, this war, by design, will continue to expand and drag on; which will increase the burden of Israel to keep fighting and the United States to keep supplying it.
Mark 13:7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. [8] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

What Israel did by making pager bombs to detonate whenever a code is activated or however it works, that wasn’t warfare that was a cold-blooded act of terrorism, and to be blunt, it was cowardly!
That was a war crime what Israel did.
Israel is in for a major beating, they didn’t just poke a bear but they poked the bear’s cubs too!
No the real crime is on the heads of all the peoples of every nation for allowing banker wars to even start I stead on legally banning all bankers war or and war for monetary gains.
Without Jesus there is no peace on earth.
The Jew Satanist Nazi like to exterminate Christians because Jesus Christ exposed what they are: Satan worshipper. Gaza has 35 percent Christians. Lebanon has sizeable Christians. The Jews Satanist Nazi instituted Noahide laws in the U.S. which allows to kill Christians in the U.S. with impunity. ISIS and Muslim Brotherhood is the U.S.S.A. and Israel funded terrorist group which murdered Christians and descreated Many Churches. The dancing Israelis caused the entire 9/11. Did you get the picture? Know the tree by it’s fruits says the Holy Bible
No Christian is allowed to exist in any Islamic country, even Christians are harassed and bullied in Israel by the Hasidic sectors. Look up the story of Eitan Bar from One For Israel, he’s falsely converted but still
Harrassed and bullied by the hasidics. They have thrown bags of dung on his lawn and thrown water balloons filled with their pee at his children while returning home from school.
Christians aren’t allowed to exist in Lebanon. And anyone living in any Islamic country that doesn’t convert to Islam is considered a SECOND CLASS CITIZEN… search what that means for yourself.
And third Jimmy look up what Al-abeed is in Gaza then talk about the middle East.
DON’T FORGET USS LIBERTY WAS BOMBED BY ISRAEL. Not a single sailor was honored publicly. Israel was never sorry about it but they always stick their middle finger in your ass.
Jimmy, stop cussing please. You can comment and express your anger and frustration, but cussing is not allowed on this site.
Don’t fear us we’re just men – including me, fear God.
Are you jamess?
Proverbs 4:24 Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
Shameful behaviour for a professing Christian. If you are jamess then you are in sin.
Turn from your pride and haughty head.
Did you see the list release of who was targeted and died in the pager attack? They showed The pictures of at least 20 terrorists. Maybe somewhere else there is a larger list release in the coming days as they report on it.

I think everyone should look into everything for themselves and pray for discernment from the LORD about these wars but yeah definitely take the Lord’s advice above all else:
1 Thessalonians 5:21-23
King James Version
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
There is A LOT of deception on both sides but I trust the Lord’s working hand is over all that occurs on the Earth. I trust him because he said two things that have really stuck to me ONE:
2 Peter 3:
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
& TWO:
Matthew 10:29-31
King James Version
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
I’ve been asking myself sense this entire think kicked off:
“Is this the war prophesied in Revelation, or do they* want us to THINK it is?”
*[For an understanding on who I mean by, “they”, please see and research “The Mystery Schools”. (You won’t find good info on them on the internet any more, it’s been scrubbed basically since 2017).
The October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel, which I firmly believe the Israeli government allowed to happen as an excuse for war, sacrificing their own citizens, connects with the deceptive tactics Jacob’s sons did in Genesis 34, though Netanyahu’s military actions has pure sociopathic evil written all over it.
The recent actions Israel did which the electronic devices that also killed and injured civilians tie back to the cruelty of Jacob’s sons in the Genesis 49 prophecy as mentioned in the previous article here on the Winepress.

I believe everything in our society that will directly affect all of us in our lifetime, whether you’re a Christian or an atheist fool (Psalm 53:1, 1 Corinthians 15:35-36), moving forward to the near future is focusing now more and more toward Israel and Vatican Rome working together, including Trump’s deep involvement with Israel. But I won’t be limiting this on Trump alone, either side of the coin is bought and sold, and this alliance between Rome and the Jews in power can and will be able to influence any puppet politician out there, if not already; and this encompasses all aspects of our societies, from economics to the corporate medical establishment, at the very least before the catching up; and afterward, the full rise of Eastern power in Revelation.

Funny you should mention – I’ve been sitting on this for a while, but there is videographic evidence, and admitted in Israeli media, that on October 7th the IDF attacked and killed their own people. There are videos of US blackhawks gunning down their own people and other citizens caught in the crossfire. This whole thing from day one was fabricated to justify a broader war. More on that in future reports…
I haven’t come across the evidence you’ve mentioned, good to know you’re on top of this. I’ll be tuning in to your reports.
