Jamila Al Ali reports from Beirut There are many revelations about the death of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. Now it has also been revealed that Israel has collected the data of 5 million people across Lebanon. It took about 15 years for this work. Israel allegedly closely monitored every person living in every apartment in Lebanon. For this, Israel divided the entire country into small research squares of 400 square meters. The information was collected with the help of tracking cameras, voice detection features, technology like drones and internet hacking and a network of local and foreign spies. The 'needs' of all residents were also noted. Where they go, where they eat, drink. Whether they order delivery, where they work, their travel patterns, how they take their children to school, where they buy their electronic devices, etc. Israel's spy agencies Mossad, Shabak and Army Unit 8200 also collected data on Hezbollah chief Nasrallah and subsequently fired missiles from F-15 jets.
Hezbollah Land: South Beirut Nasrallah's stronghold, entry likely
- Nasrallah took over as head of Hezbollah in 1992. He survived three Israeli attacks in the 2006 Second Lebanon War. Israel tried to kill Nasrallah three times. One air raid was missed, while in two other attempts he was saved by a concrete bunker.
- Nasrallah had only appeared 3 or 4 times in the last 18 years. According to Eyal Jiser, a Lebanon expert at the Department of Middle Eastern Studies at Tel Aviv University, Dahiya had a long network of bunker-tunnels for hiding.
- Hanin Ghadeer, a Lebanese scholar at the Washington Institute who grew up in Dahiya, says the Shiite suburb numbered between 750,000 and 100,000. The area has been a Hezbollah stronghold for decades. Only Shias live here, the rest have left. Only people working for Hezbollah are allowed here. Being appointed as Nasrallah's bodyguard was a highly prestigious position, subject to strict scrutiny.
The pilots had been preparing for several days, the target was found hours before
- According to a report in the French newspaper Le Parisien, after 2006 Nasrallah was extremely cautious about his security arrangements and rarely appeared in public. After attacks on pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon, Nasrallah planned a secret meeting.
- According to the report, the man who told Israel that Nasrallah was on his way to the bunker was Iranian.
- According to the report of the attack on Nasrallah, the commander of the 69th squadron of the F-15I jets that carried out the attack, Lt. Col. M, had been preparing for the attack for several days. However, he was informed about the target only a few hours ago.
