Completely compromised: Hezbollah faced a ‘multidimensional blow’ with pager attack

The Jerusalem Post reports: “Professor Uzi Rabi, head of the Moshe Dayan Center at Tel Aviv University, spoke Wednesday on 103FM about the severe blow Hezbollah suffered in the beeper attack and the future of the northern front.

‘This is a multidimensional blow,’ said Rabi. ‘It’s clearly visible on an operational or physical level, but I’d also say it highlights a high level of infiltration. It shows that the organization is completely compromised when it comes to information security. Nasrallah, as we’ve come to know him in recent years – with his inflated ego and the belief that he’s Lebanon’s protector, constantly claiming he’s defending the country – now finds himself, in my view, in a very problematic position.’

This came before Nasrallah’s speech on Wednesday, in which he dared Israel to enter Lebanese territory and called escalation in the North ‘a historic opportunity.’

According to Rabi, the Arab world is recognizing Hezbollah’s difficult position online. ‘This is also reflected in the discourse on social networks, particularly Arab social media. Hezbollah has suffered a blow that forces it not only to pick up the pieces but also to rethink its next steps. Until recently, Hezbollah was letting the situation unfold on its own. It operated under the assumption that a truce in Gaza would lead to a truce in the North and tied itself closely to the Gaza narrative.’…”
