Israel used Palantir technology in its 2024 Lebanon pager attack, book claims
Palantir software was used by Israel in its 2024 pager attacks in Lebanon, according to a new book by Alex Karp, co-founder of the Palantir tech company.
On 17 September, thousands of pagers belonging to Hezbollah members, including civilians not involved in any armed activity, were detonated across Lebanon.
Many showed “error” messages and vibrated loudly prior to exploding, luring Hezbollah members or, in some cases, their family members to stand close by at the point of detonation.
The next day more communication devices exploded, including at the public funerals of Hezbollah members and civilians who had been killed the previous day.
