The New York Times revealed new details about the Israeli cyber attack that targeted leaders of the Lebanese Hezbollah, yesterday afternoon, Tuesday, by blowing up the automatic pagers they had in their possession, and led to the killing and wounding of a large number of them, in an operation that is the first of its kind in the world to be carried out in this electronic manner so far.

Eight people were killed and about 3,000 Hezbollah members were injured on Tuesday in southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut after the wireless communication devices (pagers) they were using exploded, in an operation that is likely to have been carried out by Israel.

The recent bombing that targeted wireless communication devices in several areas of Lebanon appears to be evidence of Israel’s intention to enter a ground war against Hezbollah, because the operation targeted the nerve center of military operations, which is communications.

In a dramatic development in the conflict in the Middle East, the Houthi group launched a ballistic missile from Yemen into central Israel on Sunday, in the first attack of its kind at this depth.

A report published by the British newspaper The Guardian on Sunday evening, against the backdrop of the recent Houthi missile strike (Sunday) on Israel, warned that “the Houthi rebels in Yemen’s acquisition of hypersonic missiles, capable of penetrating Israeli air defenses, threatens to escalate tensions in the Middle East,” and called on Saudi Arabia to take more action, beyond “acupuncture attacks,” to restrict arms supplies to the group.

The Iran-backed Houthi group claimed responsibility for a missile attack on Israel on Sunday, claiming it targeted a military target.
