A guy like that should be "dead zoning" it. No telephone no computer. All communication given verbally to others to be relayed forward. In Iraq we found a lot of people using cell phones. And the computer, just do not do it. For a guy like this, you have to wonder if he thought he was safe because he was a negotiator. Well the Israelis killed him. so who is there to negotiate with now???

It is like if Henry Kissinger had walked into the Paris Peace Talks with a submachine gun and killed off the Viet delegation.

New York Post (yeah, I know) is reporting that Hania/Haniyeh was killed by an explosive device hidden in his guest house months ago. Pretty massive divergence of accounts, no? Wonder what gives.

I noticed the FBI said they used Cellebrite tools to "accelerate justice", er, unlock Crooks' phone.

An "Israeli digital intelligence company", providing the tools with which the watchers watch the watchmen so that the watchmen can do no wrong.

Yes. Israel almost certainly monitors vast amounts of US communications through front companies.
