The recent Israeli assassinations of Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement and head of the Hamas political bureau, and the Iranian leader have raised a series of questions about the extent of Israeli infiltration against the so-called Islamic State group .

But the most salient question has emerged since Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was targeted last Friday. The extent of the fortifications is well known.

There is conflicting information on how Israel knows his whereabouts, as it is a technologically advanced country, but without local human resources, this may not be enough.

On Saturday, French newspaper Le Parisien quoted a Lebanese security source as saying that “Israel received intelligence information from Iranian sources on Friday afternoon indicating that Nasrallah was expected to arrive at the party’s headquarters in the southern suburbs of Beirut.”

Iranian strategic researcher Saeed Shawwardi responded to the accusations in an interview with Al-Hurra TV, saying: “Israel is trying to create a rift between Iran and its allies in the region, but no one cares and listens .

He added that Israel “is making fun of this information, not intelligence information.”

At the same time, Thomas Warwick, an American researcher specializing in Middle East affairs, believes that “the Iranian regime has been penetrated by very capable Israeli intelligence services. Israel failed to detect the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, but since then Israeli intelligence services achieved success.

He added in an interview with Al-Hurra TV, “There is no doubt that we will find out the truth about how Israel knew the location of Nasrallah. When the dust settles, this information will become clear.”

The New York Times stated that “Unit 8200 is the main reason for the success of Israel’s intelligence operations in Lebanon.”

She added, “Since 2006, the unit has carried out extensive work to infiltrate Hezbollah, monitor communications, actively monitor Hezbollah’s geographical distribution through satellites and drones, analyze any changes on the ground to monitor weapons arsenals, and dispatching an elite spy team to Hezbollah.

“The United States of America and the entire West supports Israel, providing it with lethal weapons and providing it with all the information it needs. American satellites are sending images to Israel around the clock, and they are even filming inside Iran,” Chowadi said. , military and nuclear facilities.

Iranian researchers pointed out that it is necessary to “recognize that the West is very advanced in the field of information collection.”

“Nasrallah has become more cautious after radio bombings targeting party members in the past few weeks, suggesting intelligence failures within his ranks,” Reuters said on Saturday, citing a source it described as “well-informed.”

Thomas Warwick believes that “Nasrallah’s assassination was probably carried out through the traditional method of recruiting spies on the ground. I think that is how it happened.”

In the case of Hezbollah specifically, “they must now realize that their communications systems have been hacked, which will help the Israelis on Friday determine Nasrallah’s whereabouts,” the American researcher said.

Warwick noted that in the coming weeks, “we will know whether they obtained this information from an Iranian source.”
