> Are Palestinians using IDF tapped cell towers?

That's my understanding. That the whole of the Gaza strip is essentially watched under the equivalent of stingrays and all traffic out is monitored with room 641a style taps.

Hmm, I wonder if that is related to why the use of 3G barely just rolled out and why they still aren't allowed to have 4G. Maybe that would require an upgrade of Stringray-like equipment?


That is concerning even if you don't have some lunatics trying to kill you right now.

IMSI seems like a thing that need to be mitigated. We need a FOSS mobile yesterday. Especially when Elon Musk puts cell towers everywhere and most likely give our locations to Washington and by extension Netanyahu.
