Attacks never seen in Lebanon. How and why?
  • 12 deaths, including two minors, and about 3,000 wounded, on Tuesday. At least 26 hours later, another 20 people have died and another 450 have been injured, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health. Two massive and coordinated explosions have been recorded, the first in thousands of search engines and the second in hundreds of walkie-talkies. Despite the fact that everyone knows that Israel is behind this new massacre, the Zionist government has not pronounced on it and has ensured that "we are at the beginning of a new phase of war".

Israel’s military capacity and the wonder and terror of the world

In February, Hezbollah, in the words of leader Hassan Nasrallah himself, called on his followers to avoid mobile phones and for foreign intelligence services to avoid their control, as Mosad has shown on several occasions. Smartphones were replaced by text message and voice data search engines for receiving alarms. In this process, it is clear that the Israeli secret services took the opportunity to put their claws in the supply chain of these communication instruments.

It remains to be clarified where, when and how they have done so, but the Zionists managed to manipulate the search engines – and the walkie-talkies – that were going to Lebanon on demand. According to Elijah Magnier, a veteran Middle East war correspondent, these search engines were held for several months at the customs offices of a Middle Eastern country. The Israeli services allegedly took advantage of this space to dismantle the appliances and replace the original lithium-ion batteries with other batteries containing explosives and perdigons, in order to cause as much damage as possible, but without exceeding the weight. The electronics of the devices were also manipulated to enable the explosions remotely and in a coordinated way, after receiving a specific message encoded in the search engines.

This message was sent to the search engines on Tuesday, and shortly thereafter, agents started an explosion that lasted a few minutes. And the next day, when the characteristics of the bombing still lost the wonder of the world, they carried out another similar attack, with hundreds of detonated walkie-talkie, of the Japanese brand "ICOM," model IC-V82. But as the company has stressed, this mobile radio model has been exported massively to the other side of the sea: Around 160,000 units between 2004 and 2014, so for the moment, the origin of these cannot be determined.

The model and battery of the walkies that have made one of the heads of the company ICOM explode.

These are types of attacks that have never been seen before in history because of the technological capacity, infiltration capacity and the high degree of coordination of the Zionist entity. This must not, however, conceal the fact that it has been an act of massive and indiscriminate violence, which coincides with the present genocidal logic of the Zionists. The genocide in Gaza is about to turn a year. All the people on the list have been converted into military targets, leaving aside their conditions, their age, their origin, etc. And as you have quite rightly demonstrated, that genocidal logic is not only applied in Gaza, but also applied in other countries.

Not all deaths or injuries are members of Hezbollah. The emergency services and volunteers also worked with search engines, such as the Hospital of the American University of Beirut, according to a statement from this center. They weren't an exclusive tool of Hezbollah. It must therefore be made clear that the attacks have been indiscriminate. In addition to the people who have been hit by search engines and walkies, the explosions have occurred in public places such as the street, shops, the car while driving, public transport... Or were the two minors who were killed on Tuesday also “terrorists” of Hezbollah? Or among thousands of victims "alone" the death of two children is within the "acceptable amounts"?

Why now?

Most media have stressed that the attacks have been a step by Israel to “intensify the war in the region.” There are other voices, such as Moon of Alabama, who have underlined that Netanyahu has used the attack as a means to silence critics who are calling for a total attack on Hezbollah, knowing that a war against the Shiite guerrilla in Lebanon would probably lead to the failure of the Zionists (as has happened before, the last one in 2006).

With dirty hands but loose

Beyond the warlike causes of large-scale attacks that can further spread violence in the region, Israel has done this new barbarity for a reason as simple as fundamental: impunity. They know there's no red streaks for them. Whatever they do, they will have no practical consequences, beyond some usual expressions of reproach.

It has the unconditional protection of the United States and its international mariachis. The European Union is incapable, and the Zionists have to do with the cooperation of the countries with the greatest weight in Europe. Most Arab governments are ‘cipayos’, and most have crossed hands in defense of the ‘cause of the Palestinian brothers’ they supposedly support. And the inability of the United Nations to impose effective and effective international standards is clear. After all, Israel does so because it is allowed to do so. Because we let it.
