Just how did Lebanon bust the Israeli spy network?

We disagreed with Debka’s report that Russia helped Lebanon uncover Israeli agents there. Indeed, recent leaks indicate that Lebanon discovered suspicious phone-call patterns with Echelon-type software running on its phone hubs. The software could be of American or European origin, most likely from Siemens and Nokia, which delivered similar software scanners to Khomeini, allowing the regime to scan phone calls for suspicious words and patterns.

But Israeli agents in South Lebanon typically use Israeli cell phones, so the phone-scan scenario is also doubtful. In our opinion, the network fell apart because of human errors, as Lebanese Israeli agents are typically talkative. The increased level of spy activity in preparation for the Mughniye assassination likely exposed some of the agents, who led to the rest, as compartmentalization is notoriously bad in Lebanon.

Israelis spy Lebanon so awkwardly! And discuss it as something ordinary. Israelis spy Lebanon, so why not try to do it professionally?
