On September 21, YNET News, an Israeli media outlet, mentioned comments from Marc Polymeropoulos, nonresident senior fellow at Forward Defense, calling Hezbollah pager attacks as ” the most impressive kinetic operation I can recall in my career. Israeli intelligence is living in [Hasan] Nasrallah’s brain.” These comments were inserted in an article detailing reactions from US national security leadership and community.

Forward Defense leads the Atlantic Council’s US and global defense programming, developing actionable recommendations for the United States and its allies and partners to compete, innovate, and navigate the rapidly evolving character of warfare. Through its work on US defense policy and force design, the military applications of advanced technology, space security, strategic deterrence, and defense industrial revitalization, it informs the strategies, policies, and capabilities that the United States will need to deter, and, if necessary, prevail in major-power conflict.
