About this listen

On October 7th the world watched Hamas fighters breach Israel’s border, seize more than two hundred hostages, and stream the chaos in real time. Yet beneath the horror, investigators have uncovered a second, quieter mission: a beige van packed with a mobile hacking rig aimed at Israel’s Pegasus-2 satellite uplink.

In this episode Art Grindstone dissects the evidence—from missing server drives and synchronized cell-tower blackouts to drone-dropped smoke marking deactivated Iron Dome launchers. Was the hostage raid a brutal distraction for an intelligence heist?

Did a clogged diesel injector upend a plan to eavesdrop on Israel’s encrypted battlefield map? And what does the failure reveal about the next evolution of hybrid warfare? Follow the timeline, weigh the conflicting eyewitness accounts, and decide whether October 7th was a one-off terror strike or the first draft of a new data-driven battlefield.
