idk but the details coming out are very spicy. like it turns out the beepers were 'made' in hungary, but the company looks like a shell for various operations and its HQ are in some house in the suburbs of budapest.

the CEO is someone with an italian name



and she looks like she's been doing a lot of thinking lately
some james bond level of plot here ngl

[Dolan]

trust in electronics made in unverifiable locations will probably take a huge hit, after these events

loony tunes if you think nasrallah hadn't made himself functionally redundant after 30 years as the figurehead of hezbollah's militant wing. his death alone doesn't matter half as much as what his successful targeting means, alongside the supply chains/communications systems being compromised -- these represent the degree to which lebanon has been successfully infiltrated, which is a more significant threat to hezbollah's ability to respond to the disgusting massacres inflicted by israel.

[Dolan]

a wild hypothesis: the whole of Hezbollah is made of infiltrated Mossad agents and Israelis are killing their own agents just to keep the news cycle fed with victories against Israel's enemies and thus maintain Net-&-a-yahoo perpetually in power

[fightinfrenchman]

That seems unlikely

one important thing I understood about the stuff that happens here is that if an explanation makes sense it's most likely untrue
