Experts weigh in on possible accomplices behind Lebanon's deadly pager attack
The US could be behind the deadly pager attack in Lebanon, in which at least eleven people were killed and 4,000 more wounded, military expert Ali Hamie told Sputnik.
He also pointed the finger at Israel and a company that manufactured the pagers, which were detonated, suggesting that without coordination between Tel Aviv and a pager manufacturer, the attack would not have occurred. Israel has not yet commented on the attack.
“The operation was carried out simultaneously [across Lebanon], which means that the perpetrator collaborated with the pager manufacturer, who handed over the codes or decoding systems for the pagers to the Israeli side,” Hamie said.
The attack shows “we are at severe electronic warfare,” he pointed out, not ruling out that the Lebanon-based militant group Hezbollah “may conduct a counter-cyber operation in the coming hours or days.”
Hamie was echoed by Lebanese lawmaker, Kasem Hashem, who is a member of the Development and Liberation bloc. The latter also blamed Israel for the attack in an interview with Sputnik.
This is part of the expansion of Israeli aggression against Lebanon, with cyber warfare remaining one of the most dangerous types of tactics used by Israel, possibly an accomplice in the attack, according to Hashem.
“No doubt, Hezbollah will respond to the attack, especially given the fact that it targeted the whole of Lebanon and was not limited to a certain area,” Hashem concluded.
