One thing we've learned from this war: Israeli military intelligence is incredible (when it is analyzed correctly)

During this war, we've seen some amazing examples of Israeli intelligence - how Israel  knows the location of nearly everyone above ground in Gaza, how it analyzes huge amounts of information it receives and acts quickly to use it. The rescue operation is only one of hundreds of examples of how intel is a critical part of the war. 

I admit that I worry sometimes that Israel is too confident in its intel capabilities - after all, that overconfidence helped it not put  together the signs of October 7 being planned. Military intelligence also requires actual intelligence to put all the pieces together, and hubris does not mix well with intelligence gathering and analysis.

Nevertheless, the sheer amount of intel and the ability to make quick decisions based on it has been very impressive.

Another possible example comes from Hezbollah. 

Lebanon24 reports that Hezbollah has changed the format of its videos showing attacks on Israel. 

Hezbollah used to include voices of the people firing the drones or rockets or missiles, but now Hezbollah has edited those voices out. The reason? The voiceprints "could be exploited by the Israeli enemy and thus identify party members or fighters to target either through specific assassinations or bombing of operations rooms."

I have no idea whether Israel has the voiceprints of every Hezbollah member - or even everyone in Lebanon - that it could identify. But it is certainly plausible.

And if Israel can do this, so could other major world powers. 

Which brings up the question: What does China know about you, today?
