This is the Popular Front podcast with me Jake Hanrahan.

We're focused on the niche details of modern warfare and underreported conflict

all across the world. Popular front is

completely independent. Today we're speaking to Lebanese researcher and

writer Ilea Aube. He's going to be talking to us about Israel's recent bombing on Lebanon,

the destruction of many civilian homes, over a thousand people killed killed and of course the assassination of

Hezbollah's leader Nasrala. There's a lot more in this episode though

exploding pages political infighting the real ideology of Hezbollah, it's a good deep dive.

I think before we go into the strikes the bombings by Israel on Lebanon in

the middle of Beirut which as we know now has killed Nasrala

I think maybe should we talk a little bit about the pages situation because I

think that was kind of the preamble if you like to what came and I think it's something that has kind of vanished a little bit but

actually was a very interesting kind of new front to this to this conflict.

Yeah yeah a couple of weeks ago essentially

thousands of pages simultaneously exploded in Lebanon throughout the country

largely in the South and in Daria and Beirut and in East Lebanon, which is where Hezbollah

mostly exists as a political party.

And there was obviously a lot of confusions at first first pages are low-tech hacking them would have

been quite something. We later found out of course that actually it was a let's say more straightforward front in the sense that

Hezbollah thought they were buying from some Hungarian front that was selling these things but in fact

they were buying from the Israelis directly.
