I mean, who else is using a pager in Lebanon? That's not a tool a normal consumer uses, it's only used by people to evade phone surveillance. I think it sounds like a high probability that anyone receiving one of these pages in Lebanon is part of Hezbollah.

- embedding-shape 9mo agoMaybe that's the wrong way to think about it? Maybe these "wartime covert operations" need to read up on Human Rights and figure out a way to work within it?
- baggy_trough 9mo agoSounds like a unilateral disarmament, which is not how to win a war. Hamas and the like have no concern with human rights of course.
- hnaccount_rng 9mo agoI mean in the case in Lebanon they knew. They sold those pagers to Hezbollah.
