In a report, the Hebrew newspaper Maariv explained that “if the estimates and reports issued from Lebanon and Syria turn out to be correct regarding the extent of the damage that Israel is supposed to have inflicted on the factions’ movement and the Revolutionary Guards, then it will be possible to say that the recent attacks have changed everything the world knows about wars.”
Maariv said, “After two days of precise attacks on the Lebanese factions’ movement, the world has been exposed to a remote-controlled war, which takes place without endangering the lives of soldiers and without operating tanks and planes. However, the other side is exposed to damage that deprives it of one of its combat capabilities.”
“If it is true that Israel is behind the attacks, it is creating a global race here over what the next battlefield will look like,” the newspaper added, noting that “after the Stone Age came the age of swords, the age of guns, the age of tanks, then the age of jet aircraft, and now a new dimension, a new age of combat.”
“Maariv” explained that “less than six months ago, there were officials at the Israeli political level, headed by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, who demanded reopening the file of the Israeli army’s budget and the entire security establishment, and redefining the budget distribution, as Smotrich and others demanded, and rightly so, increasing investment in armor, infantry and the army, and less in advanced technology and aircraft.”
The newspaper considered that “the fact that the Palestinian factions carried out a deadly attack using primitive means on Israel, sparked a lively public debate about the term: a small, smart, and technologically rich army.”
She considered that “after two days in which the Lebanese factions suffered losses without the Israeli army putting a single fighter on the front lines of the operation in a face-to-face battle, it is worth reconsidering the discussion about whether advanced technological moves constitute the force of reality on the new battlefield.”
The Lebanese Ministry of Health announced yesterday, Wednesday, “the martyrdom of 9 people and the injury of more than 300 others,” in a new wave of explosions that targeted wireless devices in various Lebanese regions.
Yesterday, Tuesday, pager communication devices exploded in several areas that are strongholds of the Lebanese Hezbollah, including the southern suburbs of Beirut, and areas in southern Lebanon and the eastern Bekaa, resulting in the death of 12 people, including two children, and the injury of about 2,800 others.
The Lebanese factions held Israel responsible for yesterday’s operation, stressing that “this path is ongoing and separate from the difficult reckoning that the enemy must await after the massacre it committed against our people, our families, and our fighters in Lebanon. This is another reckoning that will come, God willing.”
A senior Lebanese security source told Reuters that the Israeli spy agency Mossad was the one who planted explosives inside 5,000 pagers imported by Lebanese factions months before the explosions on Tuesday evening, and only 3,000 of them exploded.
For its part, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard denied that any of its members were killed in the pager bombing in Lebanon.
