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. 
in Spooky's opinion, it was likely the last 2 cells of the battery that contained the semtex (would not be noticeable when charging/discharging other than missing 5-10% of your battery capacity),
Then they detonated it by issuing a countrywide Hayes/AT-command
it's clever, because you don't need a dedicated impulse to be wired which is how you'd normally catch it, and it's much easier to do the supply chain interdiction because you're just swapping batteries
I've also learned that this is VERY replicable
AT-commands exist on pretty much every piece of cellular/mobility tech, it's actually very similar to rudimentary SQL injection, but it's semi-unpatchable
and yes Garbage, you will see this a lot, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple/Samsung/Huawei immediately begin changing how phone batteries work
you'd want them to be non-user replaceable, and have an in-built fuse in the factory that will not allow tampering
yes, that's this scare now
it's trivially easy as has been shown
you DON'T need a dedicated trigger mechanism, which is what I was speculating yesturday
you can do it all in-network, via AT commands
