Israel’s Cyber-Physical Warfare in Lebanon: The New Anatomy of Covert Conflict

Modern conflict is no longer confined to missiles and manoeuvres—it is being fought through devices, data, and deception. This intelligence product by Global Eye Intelligence delivers a forensic and strategic assessment of Israel’s cyber-physical operations in Lebanon, revealing how covert sabotage and technological penetration are reshaping the battlefield without formal escalation.

The analysis unpacks a pivotal incident involving mass explosions of communication devices, tracing how compromised hardware, supply-chain vulnerabilities, and remote-trigger mechanisms can paralyse militant networks in seconds. It examines why communication infrastructure has become a primary target, how cyber operations are now fused with physical effects, and what this means for operational security in hybrid warfare environments. Beyond the immediate damage, the report maps second-order consequences: civilian spillover risks, psychological shock, narrative control, and rapid shifts in tactical behaviour on the ground.

Crucially, this product situates the episode within a broader doctrine of pre-emptive disruption—where intelligence, cyber access, and covert action are used to degrade adversary capability before open conflict begins. It also outlines likely retaliation pathways, escalation thresholds, and how similar tactics could appear across other theatres.

Why this matters now: future wars will be decided by who controls systems, not just territory. Those who track these methods early will understand tomorrow’s conflicts before they become visible.
