The media reported serious concerns between pro-Iranian groups in Iraq and terrorist organizations in Judea and Samarim.
As reported by the Washington Post, senior representatives of these groups began actively checking their equipment.
Channel 12 writes that the reason for the check was the recent incident with Hezbollah pagers, in which Israel allegedly planted explosive devices. It should be noted that this has raised suspicions that similar devices may be installed on its own equipment.
According to sources, faction leaders are now taking precautions, fearing a repeat of a situation similar to what happened with Hezbollah’s radio devices.
Earlier, Cursor wrote that the Paging operation in Lebanon will affect the entire world.
Experts say the incident exposes weaknesses in global technology supply chains, where products pass through several countries before reaching end users. Such developments could prompt authorities to tighten controls on the international supply of sensitive technologies and tech companies to move production to safer or friendlier regions.
Experts say Israel’s proposed operation in Lebanon could affect supply chain security, forcing companies to reconsider protective measures and increase logistical transparency. The question remains as to how booby-trapped pagers were able to cross borders unhindered and enter Lebanon and Syria. This indicates major problems in the existing systems for the production and delivery of technological products.
Daniel Bardenstein, chief technology officer at software security firm Manifest, said the incident highlights the importance of taking a closer look at who and what both government and private customers buy from.
The operation, attributed to Israel, has already sparked a wave of distrust towards electronic products in Lebanon and its consequences may be much wider than expected. In particular, it makes the United States wonder about the safety of importing electronic products and software from potentially hostile countries such as China.
