Lebanon pager attacks show new dimensions of cyber warfare

Firstpost  

The cyberattacks were earlier focused on software. Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, said the pagers belonged “to employees of various Hezbollah units and institutions” and confirmed the deaths of eight fighters. Hours before the explosions, Israel’s Security Cabinet had said that stopping Hezbollah attacks on the north of the country to allow the safe return of the displaced 60,000 residents was an official war goal. One of those hospitals, the American University of Beirut Medical Centre, said earlier that it had received more than 160 “seriously injured” people in the span of three hours. Lina Khatib, a Middle East analyst at the UK-based Chatham House think tank, told the BBC: “Israel has been engaging in cyber operations against Hezbollah for several months, but this security breach is the largest in scale.” Nicholas Blanford, a Beirut-based senior fellow of the US think tank the Atlantic Council, said: “Israel in one fell swoop has rendered combat ineffective hundreds if not thousands of Hezbollah fighters, in some cases permanently.” Conclusion The Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati blamed Israel for the explosions, saying that they represented a “serious violation of Lebanese sovereignty and a crime by all standards”.
