If Shin Bet have any more similar exploits up their sleeve they'll have to use them all right now, before Hezbollah and/or Hamas fall back to bicycle couriers and handwritten notes on paper. (It's kind of hard to run a supply chain attack on 19th century tech.)
The moral of this story (besides Shin Bet being murderous bastards) is that your SIGSEC is always suspect if you're up against a technically advanced enemy (like Israel, with its extensive IT industry).
