A Big But Temporary Win for Israel

Although it did not take credit for the latest attack on Lebanon, Israel, from what we know, triggered the handheld pagers to explode, which Hezbollah’s middle echelon operatives have recently started using. The explosions weakened the operational capabilities of Hezbollah, when some 3,000 people across Lebanon and Syria have, for the time being, been neutralized. This is a big but temporary win for Israel because Hezbollah will regroup and strike back against Israel with missiles and drones that can cause much damage.

In the meantime, we believe Iran will be dispatching hundreds of IRGC operatives to replace the injured Hezbollah pager users to reinforce Hezbollah’s operational needs.

How, where, when, and by whom remains a mystery, but Gold Apollo, the Taiwanese company that manufacture these pagers, pointed the fingers at BAC, a Budapest company, which has licensed its technology and which manufactured the devices. It is highly likely, at this point, to assume that the Mossad, somehow got hold of these pagers, modified them in Israel on an industrial scale, and then shipped them back to BAC to ship to Lebanon.

It is highly likely that BAC is involved in this act of terror because it must have shipped the devices to Israel first before their final destination to Lebanon. We will know more in the coming days and weeks the extent of BAC’s participating in this act of terror.

Israel, for better or worse, has elevated terror to new levels, which, we believe, is going to open a Pandora’s box in the future.

INJURED CIVILIAN DOCTORS AND NURSES

Among the injured in Lebanon are many civilian, non-Hezbollah affiliated doctors and healthcare workers who use pagers and who suffered from this act of terror by the Mossad. Most of the injuries, according to media reports, are to the faces and hands.

Many lost their eyesight and all their fingers in the blast, to include the Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon, who lost an eye.

Of course, the United States, after such a brazen act of terror and war crime, called for cooler heads to prevail. Or, in layman’s terms, Israel can attack, but anyone opposing Israel should not respond. Not the Palestinians, not the Lebanese, not the Syrians, and not the Yemenis.

This extreme act of terror against Hezbollah, which also harmed bystanders and civilians, will not go unanswered. Between Israel killing Ismael Hanieyh in Tehran, and now attacking Hezbollah operatives on such a scale, Iran is readying an answer we believe Israel will never forget. In addition, Israel carried out its extreme act on the eve of the United Nations voting for a veto-free resolution that demands Israel ends its occupation of Palestine. Some 193 countries are going to participate in this vote.

The Israel pager act of terror may be a military and spy craft coup for Israel, but it is going to be a PR nightmare for its government. Israel, for better or worse, has elevated terror to new levels, which, we believe, is going to open a Pandora’s box in the future.

One that will come back to haunt Israel’s illegal occupation through the BDS Movement.

What is certain, though, is that Hezbollah will retaliate for this attack on its human infrastructure, and that Israel is going to pay dearly for this act of terror.

09/18 Update

A day after the pagers exploded in the hands and pockets of Hezbollah operatives, Israel detonated talkie-walkies, which were also rigged with a higher dosage of explosives. The latest mass murder by Israel took the lives of 14 more Hezbollah operatives, and sent some 450 to hospitals with a varying degree of injuries.

In addition, Iran announced it is sending 3 planes full of doctors and nurses to assist the Lebanese with the treating close to 3,500 injuries. You can rest assured as well that Iran also dispatched hundreds of military advisers in support of Hezbollah’s operational and logistical needs to maintain a high alert of readiness just in case Netanyahu is idiot enough to invade Lebanon.

Is this the last stage of Israeli terror against Lebanon? Nothing is certain. No one knows what its next step of terror might look like. What is certain, though, is that Hezbollah will retaliate for this attack on its human infrastructure, and that Israel is going to pay dearly for this act of terror. Israel is going nowhere, and so is Hezbollah. Their enmity is now enshrined in the history books for eternity.

Slowly and least humanly as possible.
