The joint cyberattack by Israel and the US fifteen years ago, aimed at disrupting Iran’s nuclear program, became a harbinger of modern electronic warfare. Its unforeseen consequences raised concerns over civilian safety and the evolution of sabotage tactics.
The recent Israeli attack on Hezbollah utilized ordinary communication devices as weapons, highlighting a significant shift in electronic sabotage's scale and methodology. The incorporation of explosives in everyday technology has raised alarm as the civilian toll escalated.
While sabotaging communication devices is not a new concept, the sheer scale of this attack marks a new era, where the potential for widespread harm moves beyond military targets to threaten civilians.
The attack on Hezbollah emphasizes the risk of advanced cyber warfare techniques spilling into broader use, as history shows that once new methods are developed, they may soon be accessible to various actors, raising global safety concerns.
