The k!lling of Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, through Israeli airstrike on his fortified underground command centre in Beirut, Lebanon, has been revealed to be the result of years of diligent espionage by Israel’s Mossad.

New reports indicate that the Israeli strike, which used 80 tons of specially designed bunker-buster bombs, was the result of a multi-year intelligence operation by Israel’s Mossad.

Israeli intelligence had successfully infiltrated Hezbollah’s communication networks over several years, allowing them to track Nasrallah’s movements with precision.

On Friday, September 27, the Israeli military launched the devastating strike, targeting the heavily fortified bunker where Nasrallah was hiding.

The operation follows years of surveillance that began after failed attempts to kill Nasrallah during the 2006 Lebanon war.

Israeli intelligence officials began making progress in 2012, when Hezbollah fighters became involved in Syria’s civil war.

This involvement exposed key Hezbollah operatives and their personal information, providing Israel with crucial intelligence.

Through hacking communication devices and tracking Hezbollah leaders via surveillance cameras and even car odometers, Israeli spies monitored the group’s movements closely. When unusual behaviour was detected, it often signalled an imminent attack, giving Israel the information needed to plan its strike.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed the assassination as a “historic turning point” in the Middle East.

Nasrallah’s death has sent shockwaves through the region, prompting Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to relocate to a secure site.

While Hezbollah has not officially disclosed Nasrallah’s cause of death, sources indicate that he likely succumbed to blunt trauma from the blast.
