That is an overt act of war, I don't think its possible to not respond to that
when its border skirmishes or targeted sabotage against infrastructure, it's borderline
but seeding tens of thousands of consumer electronics with in-built CA devices
is over the line, and has been since the Cold War
it'll get marketed differently to American boomers "they were only targeting terrorists, you hate terrorists"
but this is 1-2 rungs out from that, where 90% of the casualties were likely civs
and this pre-dates the war, you can't seed shit like this into the supply chain quickly
Dolf, this would take 2-3 years minimum to get in place
even if they only actually started using the rigged radios in the last few months or w/e
if it was 10 radios, yeah maybe a 1-off mossad op
but if they really seeded thousands of these
like it sounds like
the backstopping necessary there is absurdly high
I wish we could standardize just using the term casualties for large numbers of people
the # killed is probably extremely low
I can beleive these were ordered 3 months ago
and that's when they started being used
you'd use these for ring 2 communication, not between cells but from cells out to suppliers
so you'd expect the majority to be in the hands of civs
who are essentially being told "you are doing business with a Lebanon government entity" they'd know it was backing Hezbolah but it would never be explicit
those people are arranging travel, logistic suppliers of resources, providing medical aid, sourcing personnel, and doing all the other support functions of any major network like this
they're the couriers, the grocers, the logisticians, the medics, etc.
Israel really doesn't see any of the sandniggers in the middle east as human
I was just listening to a podcast about that, wild
I think these guys are the Lennod Logistics arch enemy
ok Leg, I'm actually reading this paper
I'm intrigued whether this was AI-generated, written by a 19 year old college freshman the night it was due, or if someone wrote an actual report and was told to add vagina all over it in order to qualify for a UN women's policy grant
the paper is basically this sentence,
The use of space systems has become so critical to daily life that any conflict or event that
disrupts these systems—either through actions in space or on Earth—will directly impact
civilians. But neither access to critical infrastructure nor vulnerability to disruptions that
deny access is the same for everyone.
then vapid women speak, then that same sentence again, on repeat
and I actually think they took out paragraphs about critical infrastructure, cell backbone, agsci, C2, etc.
it's written like a parody
they also LOVE word clouds for some reason
`Asked to identify words that they associated with space security, participants produced a word cloud
idk if I've ever found a word cloud interesting or useful
oh Leg
it's AI
1000%
yeah, that's my AI sign
someone hopefully called out this account on how retarded that claim is
though, they do have "OSINT" in their name, so it was probably alrdy obvious

Since no one posted this, Israel hit Lebanon with another wave of explosions today
this one much smaller, different assortment of devices, mostly CCRs like police radios and walkie-talkies
it was ~10,000 pagers on Tuesday, and now on Wednesday it was 1,000-2,000 CCRs
someone from Mossad leaked what the justification was: they suspected that one of their explosive implant had been found and didn't want to waste the opportunity
The decision was made to explode them before word spread and everyone got rid of their pagers, the source said.
It was a “use it or lose it” moment, the source added.
