Something is going on in Lebanon. Reports are coming out that a number
of suspected Israeli spies have been arrested. The Lebanese
Telecommunications Minister, Gibran Bassil, made the accusation this
past Tuesday that Israel was garbling cellular communications in
Lebanon.
The
cellular network in Lebanon is considered to be incapable of supporting
all of Lebanon's users. It's not a stretch to assume that, considering
this occurred around the elections in Lebanon that traffic was up and
the network couldn't sustain it.
Bassil
mentioned that he made claims a couple months ago that Israeli
interference might take place. Is it possible? Never say never. But
when you consider the fact that Israel has used cell phone technology
to assassinate terrorist leaders I have a feeling that a country that
doesn't have a sustainable cellular network is not going to be able to
detect the sources of Israeli interference as Bassil has claimed.
But perhaps they could do it with some help with a group already in Lebanon. Would this be Hizbollah? Nope. Try UNIFIL.
That's
right folks, the UN body that was put in place following the
Hizbollah's kidnapping of Israeli soldiers and the subsequent ...
