I think this is a relevant submission to hn because of the novel way in which he was assasinated. Together with the hezbolla pager explosions it indictes a new trend of common technology being used as weapons. The security establishment will need new methods to deal with these car bombs of the future.


One was a complex, long-term supply chain attack resulting in extensive infiltration of the entire target organization. This looks like a fairly run-of-the-mill remote controlled IED.


I agree. While not wanting to trivialize this operation by the Ukrainians, I don't think it can truly be compared to Israel's elaborate plan to sabotage Hezbollah's communication devices in terms of their respective complexity.
