I can't imagine Israel would be dumb enough not to code their radio
transmissions, would they?

 

Hezbollah border-line fighters mastered Hebrew

 

By Amiram Barkat

 

Hebrew-speaking Hezbollah fighters were stationed at outposts along the
border with Israel before the war broke out, according to documents
retrieved by the Israel Defense Forces while destroying the
organization's line of outposts. 

The documents contained transcripts in Hebrew of soldiers' conversations
on IDF communications networks and other subjects. 

IDF soldiers who had been stationed along the Lebanese border before the
war told Haaretz that Hezbollah fighters used to call out to them in
Hebrew. 

 

 

 

 

Listening to the radio 

One IDF soldier, who serves in an Armored Corps brigade, cited as an
example an incident that reportedly occured several weeks ago. 

"We entered a forward point along the line to replace a faulty camera,"
said the soldier, who asked not to be identified. 

"The Hezbollah men on the other side recognized us and asked us,
shouting, where our company commander was. They used the company
commanders' radio code name, and we understood from this that they hear
and understand everything we say on the radio."
