Can Israel blow up your phone?

With the terror attacks in Lebanon, the last remaining European colony in the Middle East is clearly getting more and more desperate

By Dr. Salman Butt 17 Rb1 46 ◦︎ 20 Sep 24
Can Israel blow up your phone?

There was a huge cyber terror attack in Lebanon on Tuesday, where thousands of so-called “Hezbollah” members’ pagers blew up in their hands, attached to their bodies, and tragically while their kids or family members were with them. [1]

That was immediately followed by another mass attack on Wednesday, in which walkie-talkies and energy systems were remotely exploded. This caused further deaths and thousands of injuries. [2]

Another day later, on Thursday, the country’s state broadcaster, National News Agency (NNA), reported that the Zionist state had launched at least 52 airstrikes across Southern Lebanon. [3]

BACKGROUND


  • Lebanon has been rocked by twin terror attacks within the space of two consecutive days
  • While it has yet to admit responsibility, experts have overwhelmingly stated that the Zionist state is behind the atrocities
  • On Tuesday, thousands of pagers were remotely detonated in Southern Lebanon, causing the deaths of 12 and wounding over 3,000
  • Wednesday saw no respite, with at least 20 killed and 450 injured in targeted attacks on walkie-talkies and solar power systems across the country
  • Since the beginning of the Gaza genocide, Lebanese fighters have been engaging and been engaged by Zionist forces
  • Both sides have endured losses due to airstrikes, gunfire, and drone attacks, with a ground invasion becoming increasingly likely
  • Lebanese hospitals were overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the first attack on Tuesday, Wednesday's follow-up attack has only made matters worse, and again risks wider regional escalation


The Zionists haven’t officially accepted responsibility yet, but every former spy or terrorism expert they’re wheeling out on the news — even the Western one — are saying with near certainty that it was “Israel”.

In any case, any anti-Israel or anti-Zionist person — which happens to be the majority of human beings right now — might be rethinking their tech use…

Myth of Israeli omnipotence

There are two theories as to how they did it, one much more likely than the other.

Either they infiltrated the supply chain and inserted a few grams of explosives into them, or they have found a way to make any device with a lithium-ion battery just overheat and explode.

The investigations since the first terrorist attack have found small amounts of explosives in the pagers, apparently refuting the abovementioned lithium-ion battery theory. [2]

As one source told Reuters,

“The Mossad injected a board inside of the device that has explosive material that receives a code.

“It’s very hard to detect it through any means. Even with any device or scanner.” [2]

One reason why so many people, including Western intelligence officers, pushed that theory can be seen as perpetuating the propaganda on behalf of the Zionist machine.

It is a known tactic for the likes of Mossad to desire to instil fear in people of being able to take anyone out anywhere.

This is something that some people take to an almost omniscient and omnipotent level — everything becomes an “Israeli conspiracy”.

An act of desperation

Whatever the method, it is clear that this is yet another act of desperation.

This last year has completely shattered the myth that the Zionist state is all-capable and all-powerful.

It has humiliated the Zionist entity and its apocalyptic institutions, hence adding a further level of desperation to “flex” on an international scale.

Netanyahu and the apocalyptic death cult around him have been trying their level best to attack and assassinate their way into goading neighbouring states into a regional war to take the heat away from them — so they can play the professional victim.

Hezbollah and other Iranian proxies (with probably an equal amount of innocent Muslim blood on their hands as the Israeli Occupation Forces) have thus far been highly restrained in their rehearsed (and allegedly Washington-approved) reactions.

This has created more a spectacle of anger and outrage rather than dealing any damage to the Zionist entity, with which it does a symbiotic tango, every now and then.

However, this latest provocation could lead to more escalation beyond the usual pageantry.

Zionist state’s days are numbered

While it’s good news for humanity at large that the last remaining European colony in the Middle East’s days are numbered, unfortunately it’s when tyrants are desperate that they carry out their most heinous atrocities.

Historians often point out that Hitler exterminated more victims of the Holocaust towards the end of the war.

Fir’awn, likewise, stepped up the oppression of Bani Isrā’īl once he was challenged by Musa (ʿalayhi al-Salām) and started losing a grip on power.

It is a well-known tactic in The Art of War that you never leave your enemy without an escape route, otherwise he will lash out like a cornered cat.

And so, things might get worse before they get better, but the end is always for the just and God-fearing.
