    I had a feeling that this war would start something like this. Israel has been a testing ground for advanced military technology/ideas for a while. Now that they are engaging in war it was inevitable that techniques or ideas that they have been hiding would eventually get used leading to the world being more dangerous than it was before.

    Also as a side note this is why low tech is such a good idea. A small amount of dependencies usually means something is safer in the long run.

      Going low-tech is what got them here. The change to bulkier devices gave Israel the opportunity to insert explosives. Using existing small devices would not have given them that opportunity.

      Of course, that would mean Israel could continue spying on their cellular communication. It’s a risk calculation.
