ISRAEL today hacked into the television station of Hezbollah, emblazoning images on the screen showing pictures of corpses and claiming the Shiite militant group's leader Hassan Nasrallah was a liar.
One of the images shown on Al-Manar television portrayed the body of a fighter lying face-down, wearing khaki trousers with a text beneath in Arabic reading: "This is the photograph of a body of a member of Hezbollah's special forces".
"Nasrallah lies: it is not us that is hiding our losses," continued the text, which appeared during the evening news and stayed on the screen for several minutes.
A photograph of Nasrallah himself also appeared with the legend: "member of Hezbollah: watch out".
Another photograph of corpses was framed by the words: "there are a large number of corpses like this on the ground and Nasrallah is hiding this truth".
Israel also hacked into FM radio stations and instead of normal programs a two-minute recording was repeatedly broadcast.
"Hassan sent men to fight the Israeli army, an army of steel, without preparing them. Stop listening to patriotic hymns for a moment, reflect and bring your feet back to the ground," said the Arabic message.
Israel has used a variety of technological weapons to wage a psychological war in Lebanon, also sending text messages to mobile phones and voice messages saying their war was against Hezbollah and not the Lebanese people.
Did they go so far as to play any Yoko Ono music?
There was a TV series a few years ago, and one of the characters used to routinely hack into the government TV and broadcast the "truth." Can't remember the name of the series, but I always thought that would be a good psychological weapon.
That would be TOO, TOO cruel!
Odd message to send the Lebanese. Why would they care how many people have been killed? What should have been shown was the video about the rockets being fired near the controversial destroyed building.
Seriously????
Ha, hah!!!!!!!
Go Israel, you wonderful people!!
:^)
Great job Israel!!!
Thanks for that.
I did the search. I think you can see why nothing came up :)
Hehehehe! Yeah that sure would be fun. Go Israel, this was a great move. MAybe they should also broadcast the video they have showing the Hezbollah launching rockets from civilian areas and buildings to show why it was that Israel bombed Qana.
Good post.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word or image.
I'm telling ya........hack into their TV stations and loop "Pluto Nash"..this thing will over in two days.
Hey pig boy, you've been hacked and pw3nd!
Or better yet, the full 1994 season of Rush Limbaugh on TV.
That should help change the minds of the YUTHS!
Holy cow, doing that would justify using WMD!!
Almost said Alias but that's wrong.
Somebody else take a whack at it?
You must be thinking of Dark Angel, which ran for two seasons and starred the lovely Jessica Alba.
