~~This is nuts, from a vid I saw it was an actual explosion. The fact that so many "terrorists" were given devices with explosives in them and it was undetected until they blew..

I don't care if it's for the greater good, any entity that has the ability to pull this off should be dismantled and charged with crimes against humanity. This can't be a thing humanity just accepts as a possibility. Yeah terrorism is bad but this is fucked if true.~~

Edit: if this video isn't completely made up it looks like those batteries can explode. I was under the impression they would shoot flames well before any explosion, might not be the case. Quite curious on the exploit though. What conductor do they have in there that wouldn't burn out like a fuse before the explosion.

Uhh... Terrorism where innocent citizens are targeted is worse than specific targeting of terrorists themselves.

Thank you for saying this, I was a little taken back by what in my opinion seemed to be comments expressing sympathy for Hezbollah.

Here's a video of one of them exploding.

One of the deaths I read was due to ammunition in their pocket and another due to them crashing their car after it exploded. Seems 8 dead, almost 3,000 injured from Lebanon to Syria and one in Qatar.
