Debka reports that Russia’s FSB conducted an ultra-advanced search of the radio spectrum in Lebanon, which led to Hezbollah’s interception of an Israeli spy ring.
Our information on FSB capabilities suggests that such a scenario is rather unlikely. FSB uses standard Western electronic surveillance equipment, and is not capable of a long-term, wide-area-cover operation.
We would, however, view the FSB’s involvement as highly encouraging, signifying the messianic pangs:, it would mark for the first time a situation in which the United States, the EU, and Russia all simultaneously supported Israel’s enemies.
