Just a few minutes were allowed to say goodbye to family members and innocent bystanders before being killed.<br \/>\nDescribing this \u2018fair play\u2019 of the Israeli army is journalist Nabih Bulos of the Los Angeles Times, who recounts the final minutes of Ahmad Turmus\u2019s life last February. Turmus, a Lebanese man and one of many victims of Israel\u2019s armed might, was subjected to the torture of the \u2018death call\u2019.<br \/>\nIn a first call, he was warned that his fate had been decided and that a drone would kill him.<br \/>\nTurmus, aged 62, lived in Tallusah, a small Shiite village in southern Lebanon, on the border with Israel. On 16 February, he received the second call. On the other end of the line, someone identified themselves as an Israeli intelligence officer and asked: \u201cAhmad, do you want to die with the people around you or alone?\u201d<br \/>\nHis family later recounted that they heard Turmus utter just one word: \u201cAlone\u201d. He then hurried out of the house, got into his car and drove away from his home and the village. Thirty seconds later, an Israeli drone struck the car.<\/p>\n<p>Israeli technology is so advanced and sophisticated that it is immune to error and delivers nothing but certainty, even when it comes to daily \u2018death calls\u2019.<br \/>\nGiven Israel\u2019s political and technological prowess, the far-sighted Italian government has seen fit to entrust its cybersecurity to Israel under a paid contract, thereby handing itself over to Israel, lock, stock and barrel.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-29637\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gsitalia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ChatGPT-Image-14-mag-2026-09_54_55-1024x819.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gsitalia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ChatGPT-Image-14-mag-2026-09_54_55-1024x819.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.gsitalia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ChatGPT-Image-14-mag-2026-09_54_55-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gsitalia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ChatGPT-Image-14-mag-2026-09_54_55-600x480.png 600w, https:\/\/www.gsitalia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ChatGPT-Image-14-mag-2026-09_54_55-768x615.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gsitalia.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/ChatGPT-Image-14-mag-2026-09_54_55.png 1402w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two phone calls within a few days of each other: the first to warn the person concerned that they had been identified as a target worthy of death, and the second to inform them that their time had come.
