According to Lebanon's public health minister, Firass Abiad, the explosions that occurred in Lebanon on September 17th and 18th, targeting communication devices, have resulted in 37 deaths and 2,931 injuries. Israel's act of embedding explosives in civilian electronic devices and detonating them indiscriminately in Lebanon represents a new low in acts of terrorism, setting a dangerous precedent that unfortunately may not be the last of its kind.
This incident not only erodes the trust that Middle Eastern populations have in Western electronic products but also amplifies global consumers' concerns over the safety of commonly used Western electronics. If explosive devices can be inserted into pagers, could similar threats be looming over Western-made smartphones or even electric vehicles? The idea that an iPhone or a Tesla, both costing a significant amount, could potentially be turned into a bomb at the manufacturer's whim is chilling. The detonation trigger is in the hands of Western nations, leaving users uncertain when the bomb might go off—perhaps while answering a call from a loved one on an iPhone or starting a Tesla to head home.
This event signals a death knell for the Western electronics manufacturing and new energy vehicle industries, while serving as a warning to us all. From now on, consumers considering the purchase of Western electronics or new energy vehicles will have to weigh the product's safety, potentially turning to safer alternatives. After all, no one wants to be blown up randomly. It is foreseeable that Western electronic products will be cautiously used or gradually abandoned by countries around the world, a natural response to their heinous acts of terror.
