让我们称之为奇突行动(Operation Chutzpah)。假若正如广泛相信,以色列情报机构(Mossad)在黎巴嫩真主党恐怖分子使用的传呼机和对讲机中引爆了装置,导致几十人死亡、数千人受伤,那么这将被历史铭记为一次信息战的标志性操作。这次打击是自加沙地下隧道至德黑兰心脏的一系列大胆行动中的最新一幕。这也揭示了软件如何引领了战争的新阶段。
记得2022年,在乌克兰被占领地区,俄罗斯士兵窃取了价值约500万美元的约翰迪尔(John Deere)农机设备,但几个月后,中国北戴河度假村的特斯拉车主们却发现自己的车辆在中共会议期间不被允许进入该镇。这表明,联网设备可能成为攻击目标,远程控制技术为战争带来了新维度。
简而言之,以色列的奇突行动与网络技术共同绘写了今日冲突的新篇章,而过去发生的事件则证明了数字互联世界如何改变了战斗的方式。

原文摘要:
Let’s call it Operation Chutzpah. If, as is widely believed, the Mossad detonated pagers and walkie-talkies used by Lebanese Hezbollah terrorists, killing dozens and wounding thousands, it will go down as an intelligence operation for the history books. This strike is the latest in a string of daring operations from the tunnels beneath Gaza to the heart of Tehran. It also demonstrates how software has ushered in a new phase of warfare. Remember that Russian soldiers stole $5 million in John Deere equipment in 2022 from occupied Ukraine, only to discover that the internet-connected tractors could be remotely turned into scrap. Months later, Tesla drivers at the Chinese resort of Beidaihe found their cars banned from the town during a Chinese Communist Party conclave.
