#BREAKING Hezbollah statement on pager attack by Israel.
At approximately 3:30 pm on Tuesday 09-17-2024, a number of messaging devices known as "pagers" exploded, which are owned by a number of employees in various Hezbollah units and institutions.
These explosions, the causes of which are still unknown, led to the martyrdom of a girl and two brothers, and the injury of a large number of people with various injuries.
Hezbollah's specialized agencies are currently conducting a wide-ranging security and scientific investigation to determine the reasons that led to these simultaneous explosions, and medical and health services are also treating the wounded and injured in a number of hospitals in various Lebanese regions.
We ask God Almighty to have mercy on our righteous martyrs on the road to Jerusalem, and we pray for the wounded and injured to recover quickly, and we call on our honorable people to be aware of the rumors and false and misleading information that some parties are spreading in a way that serves the psychological war in favor of the Zionist enemy, especially since this is accompanied by the Zionist enemy's intimidating and threatening speeches and what it calls changing the situation in the north.
We confirm that the resistance at all levels and various units is at the highest level of readiness to defend Lebanon and its steadfast people.
🇮🇱⚠️❗️ — The Israeli Home Front Command have been instructed to prepare for an imminent war, and a high level defensive alert has been declared, reports Israeli Channel 12
———-
🇮🇱⚠️❗️ — The Israeli Homefront Command ordered the Magen David Adom (MDA, the Jewish equivalent of Red Cross) to prepare for a full-scale war with Iran, following a high-level defensive alert having been declared across Israel, according to N12.
Every one of these clearing functions is migrating to AI — the human intermediary replaced by automated assessment operating at machine speed, applying standards compiled upstream, with no democratic feedback at the point of execution...
The modern clearinghouse requires an unnamed committee, a black-box model, an emergency activation protocol, and a programmable currency to execute its verdicts at the point of sale. The function is identical to the banker at the table — the architecture has simply become too large and too technical for the public to recognise it as the same thing.
But the next stage replaces the committee — COVID-era indicator governance, in which thresholds triggered policy in real time, is already giving way to anticipatory governance, in which the model acts before the threshold is crossed.
A cyberattack against the digital infrastructure on which anticipatory governance depends becomes an attack on governance itself — making the system’s ...
🇺🇸⚔️🇮🇷 The problems with an air campaign against Iran
This excellent graphic allows us to understand better the issues facing any attempt to strike Iran. Now that we have some sense of the power of the potential force deployed we can highlight a few important points.
600 Tomahawk missiles may sound like a lot but we need some comparisons. In 2025 alone Russia launched 1900-2000 missiles into Ukraine.
But given the patchy air defence in Ukraine we should also count drones. Including strike drones, Russia launched around 34000 strikes on Ukraine.
Needless to say, Ukraine remains intact. The strikes have taken their toll but the country is intact. 600 Tomahawks represent less than 2% of this strike capability.
But Tomahawks are a rare commodity. If the US fired all 600 this would be 10-15% of their total inventory - not total inventory on their ships, the total inventory in existence!
We could add in the aircraft capacities but this is controversial. Risking these aircraft ...
