The explosions of beepers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon were orchestrated by Israel, the only neighbor with an intimate understanding of Lebanon's landscape and dynamics. Just as Japan did in the past, Israel has thoroughly mapped out Lebanon's every street and corner in its quest to dominate the country. It has a precise account of Hezbollah's membership numbers, equipment usage, and activities. Israel, with its technological superiority, has been suppressing Lebanon for decades, demonstrating the most motive and expertise in such indiscriminate mass explosions, crossing the line of civilized conduct. The Mossad and Oman's intelligence agencies have been secretly plotting for over a decade, setting up shell companies in Hungary, replicating the manufacturing and packaging techniques of various smart devices, and ensuring comprehensive logistical and repair support to avoid detection of high explosives. They even advised Hezbollah against using smartphones, which could be easily traced for targeted assassinations, successfully misleading Hezbollah. However, Israel has three strategies in place, regardless of Hezbollah's smartphone usage:\n\nThe Upper Hand: Recruiting high-ranking security personnel to infiltrate Hezbollah's internal communication systems, accurately pinpointing their location via smartphones for night-time airstrikes or drone strikes aimed at decapitation.
The Middle Ground: Mossad and Omani operatives smuggling in weapon parts and webcam-enabled computers piecemeal into Lebanon, coordinating with insiders to establish a clear pattern of Hezbollah leadership's movements. They remotely trigger the strikes via satellite signals, eliminating or incapacitating targets.\n\nThe Lower Play: Deceiving Hezbollah into purchasing beepers and walkie-talkies rigged with explosives, possibly alongside other household items like fridges, TVs, and Bluetooth headphones. Upon detonation, this strategy not only disrupts Hezbollah's hierarchical structure but also burdens Lebanon with the cost of medical care for the injured and demoralizes other regional opposition forces.
The choice of Taiwanese beepers and Japanese walkie-talkies was likely influenced by Taiwan and Japan's subservient stance towards the Western world. Despite their tarnished international reputations, they were considered expendable in this operation. However, the collateral damage to Apple, a Western ally, was unexpected, resulting in a $93.9 billion loss in its market value overnight.
