Preet Bharara:本月早些时候,以色列实施了一次被许多专家称为现代历史上最令人印象深刻和最复杂的情报行动之一。数千部真主党成员在黎巴嫩和叙利亚使用的寻呼机同时被引爆,这显然是以色列发动的袭击。第二天,数百部对讲机也以类似的方式爆炸。 Preet Bharara:以色列的行动时机,以及它与10月7日哈马斯袭击事件中以色列情报失败之间的关系,是一个值得探讨的问题。 Preet Bharara:国际社会对以色列的袭击反应如何?Leon Panetta将此定性为恐怖主义,对此你有什么看法? Preet Bharara:真主党内部对寻呼机事件的反应如何? Preet Bharara:摩萨德和以色列国防军在战争期间和非战争期间如何分担责任? Nadav Eyal:9月17日,成千上万部真主党成员在黎巴嫩和叙利亚使用的寻呼机同时爆炸,导致数百人受伤,几乎都是真主党成员。虽然以色列政府没有承认责任,但我相信这是以色列所为,真主党领导人哈桑·纳斯鲁拉也认为这是对真主党最严重的打击之一。 Nadav Eyal:寻呼机内的炸药数量有限,是为了避免造成大量人员死亡,并最大限度地发挥震慑作用。此次袭击也包含心理战的因素,旨在严重伤害真主党行动人员,并使其对通讯工具产生恐惧和不确定性。真主党使用寻呼机是因为以色列渗透了其手机系统。 Nadav Eyal:此次袭击的执行时间较短,但其准备工作持续多年。这些寻呼机很可能是专门为此次行动而制造的。此次袭击对真主党的通讯能力和整体实力造成了重大削弱,也对其士气和信心造成了打击。 Nadav Eyal:以色列一直为黎巴嫩战争做准备,但对哈马斯的袭击没有做好准备,低估了其能力。以色列对真主党的关注程度高于对哈马斯的关注程度。 Nadav Eyal:将此次袭击定义为恐怖主义是奇怪的,因为目标是真主党作战人员,而非平民。国际社会对以色列的袭击反应较为复杂,既有谴责也有理解。真主党内部对寻呼机事件的责任归属存在争议,有人猜测存在内鬼。 Nadav Eyal:摩萨德负责情报收集和秘密行动,而以色列国防军则负责军事行动和预警。
