Hezbollah is the government in southern Lebanon so when you throw around "combatant" you're including a lot of civil servants, doctors, teachers etc.

- bawolff 2y agoWere those people targeted or only the hezbollah military wing? So far it seems like there isn't much specific info out there on this point.
- y-curious 2y agoNo info, yet. Still curious how they went from supply chain to the end targets. It's not like Hezbollah leaders met with a guy in a trenchcoat and were told "only hand this out to your top guys, these pagers/walkies are really good!"
- bawolff 2y agoIts not out of the realm of possibility something like that happened. In other countries, organized crime have been taken down using tactics somewhat like that (i.e. convince the person responsible for procurement in the gang to buy bulk cell phones from some black market dealer that was actually a cop and put listening devices in the phones)
- dralley 2y agoIn the same way that Los Zetas (and other cartels) are the unofficial government of parts of Mexico.
