              Do you think that Israel doesn’t have technology from the 70s? high gain directional antenna and a noise generator aren’t new high-tech super-technology.

              the only reason we see distributed EW instead of massive stations is that a more advanced army could field weapons that could threaten these things.

              here’s a link to the Wikipedia article for you:

                I deploy radio networks and have worked in the middle east.

                I am not going to explain to you why that is a worthless, bad and stupid idea.

                I will however tell you that the Israelis know what is coming off those towers and are gathering intelligence. It’s better that they are active than not. Gaza’s network, however, has failed.

                  wait, so your argument is… that the IDF wants to spy on Hamas? AFTER the argument was that people in Gaza would ping the cel-towers in Egypt because Israel is blocking the service from their side. after it has been clearly stated that Gaza has no local network outside a bunch of people with short range radios.

                  you want a reason why the IDF would try and block transmissions? because every picture that get’s out of the children they blow up is harming their reputation and souring the world on their little genocide (and yes, what they are doing is defined as genocide), an analysis that correlates with the IDF targeting not just the few physical telephony connections, but also journalists not embedded with the IDF

                    I want to avoid having a technical discussion with someone who doesn’t understand how things work.

                    For instance. Someone asked how Gazians can use the internet with a network failure. They can ping Egyptian towers is something simple that everyone would understand.

                    When you lose power on a network you have basicly two elements that die independently…nevermind you aren’t interested in doing anything but bs preaching. You don’t really want care and I’m not interested in spending time in explaining it to you
