Hezballah is so angry about these "indiscriminate bombings of innocent civilians" -- actually targeted bombings of Hezballah illegal combatant terrorists -- that they showed their opposition to indiscriminate bombing of civilians by launching wave after wave of rocket attacks against civilians in Israeli towns and cities.

If the stuff about other and varied items being involved - solar panels, etc. - then this is almost certainly a multi-facet operation.
Pagers and radios indicate a physical operation. Interdict the shipment, modify it, then release it (or prepare a parallel shipment and switch them en route after cloning if needed, etc.). Fixed infrastructure like solar panels, if they are actually involved, probably are malware-based so it can be targeted (exploit a design vulnerability to make it torch itself off).

IoT makes a lot of that easier to trigger a detonation and controllable via cell phone technology.
Basically anything with a current can be rigged as such. 4GW warfare that is difficult to counter absent inspecting each and every item on a routine basis. Posted by: whig at September 18, 2024 03:46 PM (SI97o) ++++ IoT is, generally, a security and vulnerability nightmare. It's one of the reasons I have none of that stuff in my house. But I *suspect* that this could be a case of just seeing Jews under every bed. If anything goes wrong for someone with Hezbollah, they're probably fairly inclined to assume that Israel did it. A solar battery blows up or a camera bursts into flames. Why? Was it random bad luck? That happens all the time. Or it was Israel. It had to be Israel. Israelis are electronic supermen who can do anything they want with impunity. It's a psychological nightmare. It doesn't matter if Israel is doing it or not at this point.

If I had to guess, Carlson has been radicalized by the Deep State into hating all foreign allies. I think he views Israel as the worst, and based on his general attacks on Israel -- trotting out Palestinians to talk about Israel "oppressing Christians" -- he wants to destroy any pro-Israel feeling so that we leave them to the Arabs. There may be an antisemitic thought lurking that the Jews are tricking poor Christians into supporting them.

I've got all my IoT devices on a segregated vlan. I've got an AC system, lawn sprinkler system, keypad door lock, and a couple of smart power plugs that turn on and off a couple of lamps. None of them have cameras or microphones that one could use to see or listen in on me. The segregated vlan ensures these devices can't be used as a jumping off point to hack into computers or anything more valuable on my network.

I find this whole deal really distasteful. Now, before you jump on me - I have always been pretty hardcore about supporting Israel's right to respond to barbarism.
Reprisals for misbehavior against both signatories and non-signatories of various conventions is a thing; for example, if Hezbollah killed a hundred people in indiscriminate rocket attacks or bus bombings or what have you, the Israelis can, legitimately, say you know what, fuck you guys, we're responding in kind and deleting this village and just JDAM it. That is a severe but deliberate and *clearly lawful* response. It is the step short of just genociding them right back. Blowing up a bunch of distributed equipment on this scale lacks a required degree of understanding who (even in the collective sense) you are attacking, but in a way that's even worse than if they'd responded with dumb rocket attacks vs a JDAM/etc: because people don't want to wonder if their router or phone or sprinkler timer is UXO. In short, this is kinda fucking retarded, casts doubt on their judgment, and is going to sour some degree of public opinion (not that they're required to give a shit, but it won't help) Posted by: somedood at September 18, 2024 04:15 PM (PxkKd) 383

If I had to guess, Carlson has been radicalized by the Deep State into hating all foreign allies. I think he views Israel as the worst, and based on his general attacks on Israel -- trotting out Palestinians to talk about Israel "oppressing Christians" -- he wants to destroy any pro-Israel feeling so that we leave them to the Arabs. There may be an antisemitic thought lurking that the Jews are tricking poor Christians into supporting them.
Posted by: ace at September 18, 2024 03:53 PM (KRtlO) If you take him at his word, he may be anti war, period. You know, war is the health of the state, and the strength of the MIC and the excuse to oppress and censor the people because of the threat the enemy poses? It doesn't do our side much good when a quick look at things shows that we are essentially funding both sides. People die in wars, we probably shouldn't be funding both sides.

I have my doubts about the toilet pic for a couple of reasons.
First, Arabs aren't big on using the left hand, as Islam says to wipe with it. It's an insult to be offered a left hand in greeting. Yet the left side of the toilet, if you're sitting on it, is blown to bits. That would indicate the sitter had their device in the left pocket. With their pants pulled up. Seems fishy to me that there's no visible sign of a human being there when it happened.

"Not really for pagers and radios. They knew where those were going.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at September 18, 2024 04:19 PM (HnUIn)" They know where they were but not who was present to any reasonable degree. I can't imagine a professional soldier cooked this up unless they were shitfaced at the time. Again, compare to a textbook lawful reprisal, which in practice is rare: "Hey you see this village? Fuck it and everyone in it. We can do this all day, ball is in your court". vs, "Welp we're going to blow up, uh, honestly who the fuck knows who, with bonus points for piddly explosions more likely to maim than actually take care of business" The UN is a bunch of evil useless twats but even a broken clock is right 2 times a day; commercial objects should not be weaponized.

Speaking of Iranian operatives.....
================== State Department officials failed to follow standard procedures when suspending the security clearance of Iran special envoy Rob Malley, leading to “significant confusion” about what work he could do, an investigation has found. Malley may have, for example, participated in a conference call before he was aware his clearance had been suspended, and he may have had access to sensitive emails. The report also could heighten Republican criticism of the State Department given how many in the GOP view Malley as too friendly to Iran’s Islamist regime.

Posted by: somedood at September 18, 2024 04:30 PM (PxkKd) Ukraine and the UK drone'd up a Skidoo type jet ski and used it to try and blow up a bridge into Crimea. Most of the initial drones used for combat recon early on for Ukraine were off the shelf commercial ones, run by normal phones and tablets. Specialized ones came later. The Russians took a town a few months back by zipping into town on motorbikes right out of showrooms and getting in and in place before arty or drones could get there and interfere. Lots of the night vision equipment in use on both sides is commercial bought on the market. The Japanese used bicyles to get some added speed on backwoods trails in WWII invasion of Malaya.

One of the simplest rules of war - anything your opponent does to your people is not off the table in return.
Hitler didn't use chem weapons in WWII* because he was afraid the allies would respond in kind This notion that the US or Israel have to follow a book of rules or it is a war crime whereas their enemies can literally rape and torture your people is absurd. *He did actually use them in one instance where Russian troops were holed up in an old mine and they dumped poison gas into it Posted by: 18-1 at September 18, 2024 04:42 PM (oZhjI) 602
Neither the pager nor radio bombs were indiscriminate. They were tightly targeted. Targeted more precisely than any precision-guided bomb. The environment was highly variable, but the devices were also very small with an extremely limited operational sphere. They didn't even manage kill most of their own targets.
Collateral damage appears to be minimal. It also looks to me like icing the entire Hezbollah command structure probably wasn't even the goal. Chaos, confusion, distrust and mapping were probably the primary goals. If so, then goals achieved - with very little collateral damage. When the Arabs attack Israel, "indiscriminate" is the best-case scenario. These attacks were not controlled top-down, but they were not indiscriminate or widespread in the sense of non-targeting.

513 I have my doubts about the toilet pic for a couple of reasons.
First, Arabs aren't big on using the left hand, as Islam says to wipe with it. It's an insult to be offered a left hand in greeting. Yet the left side of the toilet, if you're sitting on it, is blown to bits. That would indicate the sitter had their device in the left pocket. With their pants pulled up. Seems fishy to me that there's no visible sign of a human being there when it happened. when i was going to college, we had a bunch of iranian foreign exchange students who were actually palestinians from kuwait. when it started to get wet during the fall, you'd start to see mudddy shoeprints on the toilet seats; they would hop up and squat on the seat to do their business.

We could do without OUR enemies being inspired to try this on this scale with this as inspiration.

Hitler didn't use chem weapons in WWII* because he was afraid the allies would respond in kind

In short, this is kinda fucking retarded, casts doubt on their judgment, and is going to sour some degree of public opinion (not that they're required to give a shit, but it won't help)
Posted by: somedood Disagree. It's asymmetrical war. These fucks don't don a uniform and head to the front line. Would you be saying the same thing if a bunch of thugs came into a concert in the US or a Trump rally and did this? Yea sure you would. Posted by: Minnfidel at September 18, 2024 04:49 PM (4p0Xq) 627

He'd been gassed and WWI, and, yes, he was terrified of the stuff from his personal experience. Posted by: Bulgaroctonus at September 18, 2024 04:45 PM (v6JzV) It wasn't a *fear* it was an absolute certainty. All armies in WWII had the gas in reserve. A ship full of gas shells blew up in a harbor in Italy as it was being stored/unloaded. Quite a few casualties, not much talked about. And the worst thing about the free use of gas in WWII is that all that is that it wasn't any more effective than regular shelling in inflicting casualties and taking positions once everyone had countermeasures. One MG team in an area the gas isn't blown to ruins your attack even if the enemy doesn't have countermeasures. Posted by: Oldcat at September 18, 2024 04:51 PM (n7h9X) 629
This notion that the US or Israel have to follow a book of rules or it is a war crime whereas their enemies can literally rape and torture your people is absurd.
*He did actually use them in one instance where Russian troops were holed up in an old mine and they dumped poison gas into it Posted by: 18-1 at September 18, 2024 04:42 PM (oZhjI) Hadn't heard that, but again the rules were a lot different on the East Front for both sides. But even there neither side used gas in combat much for reasons but the base reason is that it just doesn't work very well. Posted by: Oldcat at September 18, 2024 04:55 PM (n7h9X) 630

Our IC better be taking notes. If Israel can pull this off so can someone else on us. I'm pretty sure we'd fair about as well as the goat fuckers... given the state of our government.

Posted by: Oldcat at September 18, 2024 04:51 PM (n7h9X) The Japs used gas a lot on Chinese cities, sadly effective there with next to no gas masks. Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards, Vote but also buy ammo at September 18, 2024 04:59 PM (xcxpd) 634
If those robot goats in Hajibs can be trained to walk seductively while glancing over their shoulders and waving their long eyelashes, the Hezbolites will find them irresistible.

This is Israel with the gloves fully off.
Frankly, terrorists win because we care more about not hurting innocents then they do. Hezbollah has never stopped to think what would happen if Israel stopped giving a shit about civilian deaths and played the game exactly like they have been playing it. My guess, out of 20,000 Hezbollah fighters, about 20% have been injured, crippled or killed. Their communications system is back at pre-radio days. And the war hasn't even started yet.

This attack puts some serious fucking FEAR in Hezbollah and Iran. They have to wonder, what's next? What else has Israel done? And it doesn't target random people, it goes right at the leadership (which is an Israeli vow - ignore the soldiers, kill the generals).
I suspect Hezbollah and Iran were gearing up for some sort of attack. This is the ultimate spoiler attack - If I were them, I'd be stuck inspecting EVERYTHING. Not just in the military, in the homes as well. That takes time and manpower. New systems have to be developed. Posted by: El Mariachi at September 18, 2024 06:00 PM (mvURQ) 638
It's nice to get some good news.
