I don’t like this at all. We live in such a F’d world. This guy and his little smile while describing something that will kill people is vile.
The beeper thing super messed with my brain and it still does. If they can do something like that I don’t want to know what is already programmed into any of our electronics 😵💫

Sounded like he said:
1. They have cleaner ways of dealing with the 'problem' in Gaza but chose not to use them.
2. They are going to escalate and not seek a resolution.
3. The level of sophistication will likely imply multination coordination.
4. They invaded Iran months if not years ago.
5. They are happy about what they have been planning. Therefore peace negotiations we're not genuine.
6. This guy is giddy about people dying.

- The X post features a video of John Kirby, the former White House National Security Communications Advisor, discussing upcoming military operations related to the Israel-Iran conflict, specifically hinting at significant actions planned for Thursday night and Friday that will surpass the complexity of "Operation Grim Beeper," a recent Israeli operation involving the explosion of pagers used by Hezbollah members in Lebanon, described as the first mass targeted killing in history.
- "Operation Grim Beeper" involved the Israeli military exploiting Hezbollah's supply chain to distribute explosive pagers, resulting in simultaneous detonations that targeted thousands of individuals, a tactic that has been both praised for its precision and criticized for its moral implications, highlighting the escalating tensions and innovative warfare strategies in the region.
- The context of Kirby's statement is set against the backdrop of the ongoing Iran-Israel proxy conflict, where such operations are part of a broader pattern of targeted killings and military deterrence, with the U.S. administration's response to these actions reflecting a complex balance between diplomacy and military support, as evidenced by the administration's initial admonishment of Israel for Operation Grim Beeper despite its strategic success.

The term "Beeper Operation" or "Operation Grim Beeper" refers to a sophisticated Israeli intelligence operation conducted on September 17 and 18, 2024, targeting Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon and Syria. Thousands of handheld pagers and hundreds of walkie-talkies, used by Hezbollah, were rigged with small amounts of explosives (approximately 3 grams of PETN per pager) and detonated simultaneously via a radio signal. The attack killed at least 42 people, including 12 civilians, and injured around 4,000, with 1,500 Hezbollah fighters reportedly taken out of action.
