After this attack, they'll surely be checking all their devices.

Maybe they had to use it soon, to avoid the sabotage being discovered as old pagers start breaking. But they could definitely have caused far more damage, if it had been paired with a series of airstrikes.

Might be a sign of debate within the Israeli leadership. Maybe the outgoing defence minister or the army was against the attack but the more radical elements of the leadership used the intelligence agenciest o provoke a war in Lebanon that the army doesn't want
Well it doesn't matter anyways since Iran and it's allies won't retaliate on Israel anyways. The whole world is still waiting for Iran's response. Israel correctly deduced it can do anything it wants right now.

If it was in the works for so long, then this is, or was, an Israeli trump card.

Imagine how much more useful this would have been if used during an actual war between Israel and Hezbollah.

Not only would it kill and wound Hezbollah personnel directly, but it would also paralyse Hezbollah command and control for a time as it distributes alternative comms gear across its organisation, during active combat operations. That was the real power of the move.

It could have been a total game changing moment for the Israelis, especially if used during a critical moment or during a large operation with significant Hezbollah personal actively engaged on the frontlines. It’s the sort of move that can turn the tide and win wars.

That Israel used this move now, for so little gain, should be seen as a sign of just how desperate Israel is becoming. This is a true Blinken ‘position of strength’ move.

This is also why I think Iran and Hezbollah will hold firm to their current strategy. While it’s not as spectacular or satisfying as blowing things up all across Israel. The slow social economic strangulation and diplomatic isolation is far more damaging to the Israeli state. Fighting alone, Israel is slowly dying from a thousand cuts. It desperately needs to drag America into the fight to take the pressure off. America isn’t totally stupid and compromised by Israel, so isn’t allowing Israel to do that, which is why Israel needs Iran and Hezbollah to start a war to force America’s hand.
Is Israel actually slowly dying? Their economy is is poor shape, sure, but Iranian economy is even worse.

As for diplomatic isolation, they have unconditional support from the US and EU. I am pretty sure that's the only thing they care about and need. Even not insignificant number of Arab countries continues to trade with Israel. Some of them even helped Israel intercept Iranian missiles.

I am pretty sure that Israel doesn't need direct US involvement to deal with Resistance besides usual intelligence sharing and weapons deliveries.

dude it's usual projection. Israel is collapsinggg, for real lol

Similar to China collapse stories, Israel collapse stories is what the public resorts to in order to feel good for their inability to affect their government's policy

Iran made a big mistake letting mossad assassinate their previous president.
dunno how their president really died, but seeing this new president for sure doesn't instill confidence

Maybe IOF has more rigged devices in Lebanon. Or maybe they just wanted to ease the pressure Hezbollah had been mounting in northern Israel with numerous attacks daily.

If Hezbollah doesn’t do thorough strip down tests of all of their devices after this, they deserve to be hit again.

The power of this attack was the element of surprise hitting Hezbollah from a totally expected avenue.

In many ways, this could have had an impact on a similar level to the first use of EW and SEAD during the Bekaa Valley Turkey Shoot, but just as with EW and SEAD, once the chicken is out of the bag and opfor knew to watch out for it and actively work to counter it, the effectiveness drops massively and it becomes a classics arms race instead of a paradigm shifting new stratagem.

I hate Israel with passion but stories about their imminent collapse seem more like wishful thinking than anything.

Also I have ceased to view Iran as a serious adversary for Israel. I think it is high time to acknowledge that Iran is a paper tiger and a questionable partner for China & Russia.

Wumaos are now memeing that the reason iPhone battery capacity is so low is because they have to save space for explosives.

Serious security implications due to this.

IMO national standard must be set where no foreign company can directly manufacture or distribute battery related products. Cant see any way to defend a country against such means as what Israel demonstrated

Imagine 1 billion phones or whatever other devices exploding just before initiating a war. Winning without a shot fired for real though. Regulate all battery related things and sharply increase spot checks for products
