In light of the Israeli cyber attack on Lebanon last Tuesday and Wednesday which left thousands of martyrs and injuries, the foreign media outlets followed up its repercussions with awe.
Frontline Magazine reported that the explosions, which left at least nine dead and over 2,800 injured, have exposed a new frontier in modern warfare.
“Experts agree this attack marks a pivotal moment in how warfare is conducted in the 21st century. Cyber attacks are often invisible, leaving no trace, no debris, and no smoking gun. They target essential systems—communication networks, power grids, financial institutions—bringing entire nations to their knees without a single conventional weapon being deployed.”
“Military strategies must now account for cyberspace as a key battleground, where attacks can disrupt societies, economies, and critical infrastructure without firing a shot.”
Reuters highlighted that role of the Israeli cyber intelligence unit 8200 in the attack, mentioning the incidents of the unit’s failure, including October 7, and underling its unethical activities regarding spying individual privacy.
The New York Times said that the Israeli intelligence planted explosives in the communication devices which exploded in Lebanon, mentioning much alleged details about the source of the pagers.
The Washington Post asked about the timing of the Zionist attack, wondering about the cause of this escalation if it is not part of an all-out war.
The Guardian reported the Israeli unease after the cyber attack on Lebanon, quoting Israeli analysts as saying that it would return the Zionist settlers to northern Palestine and questioning its feasibility without a strategic context.
Hezbollah secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah stressed, in a televised speech on Thursday, that the painful cyber attack will fail to overthrow the resistance and return the residents of the North.
Mohammad Salami, a senior news editor at Al-Manar English Website elaborated on the issue in an interview with Al-Manar TV.
