Overview
- Israeli outlets, drawing on new remarks and Ron Ben‑Yishai’s reporting, say Mossad operatives infiltrated Haret Hreik in September 2024 and hid disguised targeting devices inside Hezbollah’s underground complex.
- The mission was coordinated with the IDF, and the Air Force maintained intense bombardment to distract guards after agents were told a pause would increase their danger.
- The devices reportedly enabled precision bunker‑buster strikes at varying depths that collapsed the site and killed Hassan Nasrallah and other senior figures days later.
- Intelligence cited in the accounts indicated Nasrallah planned to meet in the bunker with Iran’s Quds Force commander Abbas Nilforoushan and Hezbollah commander Ali Karaki.
- One report says 10 jets dropped 83 BLU‑109 bombs on September 27, 2024, using technology developed in a 2022 program with Unit 8200 and Israeli defense contractors.
