WAS ISRAEL BEHIND BEIRUT AIRPORT CYBERATTACK?
January 8, 2024Still no one has taken responsibility for the cyberattack on Beirut airport on Sunday night which saw screens across the airport hacked and hijacked and a message, allegedly by radical Christian Group “Soldiers of God” (Jnoud Al-Rub), which immediately denied any connection with the attack.
My theory is that it was Israel through its ultra-sophisticated IDF Unit 8200, an Israeli Intelligence Corps unit of the Israel Defense Forces responsible for clandestine operation, collecting signal intelligence (SIGINT) and code decryption, counterintelligence, CYBERFARE, military intelligence, and surveillance.
In an attempt to pit brother against brother in Lebanon and create internal turmoil and war, I believe Israel used its 8200 unit to post the message threatening Hezbollah and claiming that it was responsbile for destroying Beirut Port and that it was trying to destroy the airport.
Despite widespread belief that Israeli jets bombed Beirut Port, there’s illogicality in Hezbollah destroying these vital infrastructures, given the significant revenue it gains from their taxes, contributing to Lebanon’s economic crisis.
Back to the hacking, it was the tone and wording of the message posted at the airport, that struck me as it sounded suspiciously similar to the messages showered over Northern Gaza and South Lebanon by the Israeli IDF telling them to flee and blaming the coming onslaught by the IDF on Hamas and Hezbollah.
WATCH FULL REPORT.
Israel is a crazy genie that was let out of its bottle on Oct 8 after world leaders rushed to Netanyahu’s side giving him the green light to attack Gaza, and now they don’t know how to get it back in the bottle! The shortsightedness or rather coercion by imperialist countries such as the US, UK, France, Germany, as well as the EU and many others, are responsible for the atrocities being commited by the state of Israel and one hopes the hearing on Thursday at the International Court of Justice can bring an end to the slaughter!

English Script:
Daizy: Beirut was struck again last night but this time not by an Israeli missile, but rather by a chilling cyberattack.
Monitors at Beirut airport were hijacked for hours during a peak time Sunday night and instead of displaying arrival and departure information, they displayed a message, phrased in a way to make it look like it was done by a radical Christian group Jenoud al Rub. However, the leaders of Jenoud al Rub immediately came out posting a video statement denying any involvement in the hack and stating that someone was trying to incite tension between Lebanese brothers.
I am going to go out on a limb here and state openly that I believe that the cyberattack was undertaken by no other than the Israeli intelligence group 8200, who are considered among the top 3 hackers and cyber offenders in the world.
Believe me or not but I make these claims because after studying the wording of the message posted on the airport screens, I found that it, suspiciously, sounded very similar to the flyers showered over Northern Gaza telling people to flee their homes to the south as well as flyers that have been dropped over South Lebanon by Israel over the last two months.
The message on the airport boards used the words by “Lord and the People,” which is a phrase commonly used by Jenoud al Rub trying to implicate them.
It then stated:
“This is the Rafik Hariri Airport, not the Hezbollah and Iran Airport. To Hassan Nasrallah, you will not find any support if Lebanon is drawn into war and you bear responsibility for it and its consequences.” The text also stated: “We will not fight on behalf of anyone. You blew up our port and now you want to blow up our airport.
We see here that the message is trying to divide the people of Lebanon and put the blame on Hezbollah for all the attacks being committed by Israel since October 8 as well as the August 4 Port Blast which popular opinion believes in fact that it was ISRAEL that bombed the port of Beirut following more and more eyewitness accounts being revealed that expressly state they heard and saw Israel fighter jets overhead seconds before the second blast that destroyed Beirut port.
Let’s not go further into that right now, as I am preparing a more detailed report on that subject. For now let’s focus on the cyberattack on Beirut airport and see how Israel is trying to use the old divide and conquer rule to turn Lebanese against Lebanese and create chaos and war amongst the citizens. As stated above, Jenoud al rub didn’t fall for Israel’s tactics and nor did Hezbollah who do not believe any party within Lebanon is responsible for the cyberattack. But the timing and the wording sounds all too suspicious doesn’t it? Well, it becomes all the more familiar when you read the text of the flyers dropped over south Lebanon. the message stated:
“To the people of Southern Lebanon,
The operations of the terrorist organisation of Hezbollah are pushing the IDF to take actions against them in your residential areas. For safety, you have to evacuate your houses immediately and go to safe places in Northern Lebanon.”
Let’s stop there. These are almost, verbatim, the same words used to force Palestinians in northern Gaza to flee to the south. They are telling the Lebanese to flee to the north.
For the Palestinians the blame was placed on Hamas, for the Lebanese the blame is being placed on Hezbollah.
The flyer continued: “The IDF doesn’t want to hurt you or hurt anyone of your family members. Anyone close to Hezbollah’s terrorists or sites will put their life in danger. Houses used by terrorists will be targeted.
Now the similarities are glaring to me. Israel is trying to absolve itself of any responsibility and is putting the blame on Hezbollah and the people. People, mind you who have nothing to do with Hezbollah, more than 20 Lebanese civilians have been killed in attacks by Israel on cars, private homes, churches, roads, as well as Hezbollah locations, but the vast majority of attacks including those that occurred over the weekend were on targets that had no connection with Hezbollah.
We saw the surgical strike on the home of deputy Hamas leader Samah al Arouri last week. We know if it wants Israel can be precise but as witnessed in Gaza and in Lebanon, Israel has no intention of limiting damage, as its own officials have stated time and time again, they are determined to inflict as much damage as possible and it appears very clear now that it has Lebanon clearly in its sights.
One of its officials yesterday declared that Israel should re-occupy Lebanon for another 50 years. We have heard soldiers and religious figures state that Lebanon is next and they want to take Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and other Arab countries. What world leaders are just beginning to realise is that by their condoning and supporting Israel’s right to self-defence after the October 7 attack by Hamas, they have let the genie out of the bottle and are now struggling to get it back in.
America yesterday through Anthony Blinken distanced itself from statements by Israel to relocate 2.3 million Palestinians to other countries and it was looking for nations willing to accept them. Israel believes it has the impunity to do whatever it wants, wherever it wants to whomever it wants and this is not just talk, it is DOING IT.
The importance of the hearing on January 11 at the International Court of Justice could not be more serious or more urgent. We can only pray and hope that the ICJ is not also under the spell of Israel like the USA, UK, France, Germany, the EU, Australia and many other nations and that it just does its job. If it does its job and weighs the mountain of evidence before it fairly it MUST JUDGE AGAINST ISRAEL AND DECLARE ITS ACTIONS A GENOCIDE.
