Israel launches strikes on southern Lebanon as IDF fighter jets break sound barrier above Beirut

[Beastly Boy]

9. I read the ABC article you linked to,

and I found no material discrepancies between my idle speculations and their confidential source-based reporting, up to and including a contingency-oriented shell company in Hungary, in business of doing odd jobs that range from political consulting for NGOs to trading in commodities. It is possible that the company bought a license for manufacturing outdated electronics long ago (they are a dime a dozen) but obviously not manufacturing facilities. I don't see anything in the article that would further inform my understanding of what went on or is going on with the beepers. The phrase "this type of “supply chain interdiction” operation" is nebulous enough to assign any desired meaning to it.

Regardless of what the Western media are reporting, it is logical to assume that the people in charge of evacuating displaced civilians know better, and there is no equivalency in their respective reports. The civilians fleeing from the south of Lebanon should absolutely be noted, even if their numbers are unknown - this is not an exercise in tit for tat bean counting. But as I mentioned previously, they have no say in their fate Hezbollah is in full control of the south of the country, and they are not particularly concerned with the Lebanese civilians there. This is the most fundamental difference between them and the civilians in Israel, not their numbers.
