It makes me wonder how Israel can achieve something like this while simultaneously not being aware of the Oct 7 attacks.

Preparation. Surprise attacks work… once. Then, you have to wait for a few years when the enemy side lowers their readiness again.

  It seems like these attacks happened multiple times in succession, a day apart from eachother. Yesterday pagers exploded, today walkie takies and solar panels. What's next to come?

    "solar panels" That is news to me. Who reported so?

        "home solar energy systems exploded in several areas of Beirut" Sounds more like the battery exploded, not the panel. That would be a weird and difficult attack vector.

News reports say that Israel had copies of the Oct 7 plans but found it impossible to believe and were convinced hamas didn’t want all out war. Similar to Pearl Harbor where we also had intelligence of the attack I suppose…

October 7th happened exactly because Israel was over-focusing on Iranian proxies like Hezbollah and underestimated Hamas.

The same way usa can blow up any country in the world but was blindsided by 9/11. When the element of surprise is involved, the attacker only has to get lucky once,the defender has to be lucky every day.
