The devastating airstrike that killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was the result of a years-long operation by Israeli intelligence that penetrated the terror leader’s entire network — allowing him to be tracked to his underground command center in Beirut.
The Israeli military then used 80 tons of specially designed bunker-busting bombs to blast through the heavily fortified hideout on Friday and kill the slippery Nasrallah — who has survived multiple previous attempts to assassinate him.
Nasrallah’s death was exactly what Israel had been hoping for when it launched a bombing campaign that day, the Financial Times reports.
Unbeknownst to Nasrallah, Israeli intelligence was well aware of the movements of Hezbollah’s leadership following years of hacking and surveillance work on the Lebanese terror group — which is one of the largest and best armed militias in the world.
After failing to kill Nasrallah multiple times during the 2006 war, Israel’s Military Intelligence Directorate (Aman) devoted itself to penetrating Hezbollah.
The Jewish state got its big break in 2012 when the militant group deployed its fighters to Syria to help ally President Bashar al-Assad quell an uprising.
Former Israeli intelligence officials and Lebanese politicians told the FT that the battle in Syria unearthed a trove of information from the otherwise secretive terror group, with Hezbollah constantly publishing information on its slain fighters that revealed their personal information.
“They went from being highly disciplined and purists to someone who [when defending Assad] let in a lot more people than they should have,” Yezid Sayigh, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Middle East Center, told the outlet.

[Israel killed Hezbollah leader Nasrallah with 80 tons of bunker-buster bombs after spies spent years penetrating his entire network]
You know, that was probably just the right amount to do the job correctly.
LOL Now that’s funny. Wonder if they saw the pic of Netanyahu ordering the attack that killed them.
Don't know but a report earlier today out of Israel said they gathered in order to watch Netanyahu's UN speech. If accurate, the last thing they saw in this life was Netanyahu.
Isr is weaving bug rugs as we speaketh.
True justice.
I find it ironic how Narsallah had said that he wished all the Jews would gather in Israel so they didn’t have to hunt them down around the world, and here the Israelis found Narsallah and his cohorts all in one place, so they didn’t have to hunt him down.
He who laughs last........
One can only hope.
You load 80 tons
And what do you get?
Another day blasted
and deeper
‘n dead.
Fumble fingers.
Nasrallah......
Bkmk
Except St. Peter ain’t gonna be calling them.

Israel must never trust Obama and his state department sycophants and installed puppets.
There were stories that the US presented Tehran a list of Mossad agents involved in the Haniyeh assassination. We also know Hillary did something similar with Chinese spies helping us, she gave them up to the CCP.
I can only suspect that we’ll one day discover that demonic Obama creature shared intelligence to the UN/Hamas terrorists prior to the October 7th attack. Done with the intention to throw Israel into chaos and smoke to insert ‘build back better’ into the narrative, meaning dividing Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria.
80 tons would be 80 2000-lb bombs.
Doesn’t seem so much described like that.
Why is Hezbollah complaining? Just 80 bombs.
Lol! I love Benny Hill and Yakety Sax.
If true (I hope not), it could have been indirect.
In contrast,
How President Nixon saved the Jewish state with an ingenious plan. "50 years ago my grandfather, President Richard Nixon, "ordered the Pentagon to send 'everything that can fly' to aid Israel as she came under a surprise attack in what would become the Yom Kippur War," notes President Nixon's grandson...." "A-4 Skyhawks were refueled by tankers from USS John F. Kennedy, landed on USS Franklin D. Roosevelt in the Mediterranean, were refueled by tankers from USS Independence which was east of USS Franklin D. Roosevelt, before landing at Lod International airport in Israel, where the U.S. insignias were swapped out for IDF signs and sent into battle. - https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/israel-at-war-how-president-nixon-saved-the-jewish-state-with-an-ingenious-plan/ar-AA1iaGnT
Some of the best spent foreign aid, thank God.
And if the left one don’t getcha, then the right one will
Also President Truman recognizing the new State of Israel within 10 minutes of its declaration in 1948 has created a blessing where our nation has been given so much. Today its running on vapors.
With the Hurricane and its horrific aftermath, my first thought was what did these evil Obama worshipers do to Israel or even attempt to do to them that we still have not heard about yet.
President Trump recognizing Jerusalem as its capital in 2017 was also commendable.
Trump's decision was rejected by the vast majority of world leaders; the United Nations Security Council held an emergency meeting on December 7, where 14 out of 15 members condemned it, but the motion was overturned by U.S. veto power.[5] The United Kingdom, France, Japan, Italy, and Sweden were among the countries who criticized Trump's decision at the meeting.[6] Other countries supported the move; Guatemala affirmed their intent to issue a follow-up on the U.S. recognition and relocate their diplomatic mission to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, and the Czech Republic, Honduras, Paraguay, and Romania stated that they were also considering the same course of action.[7] Italian politician Federica Mogherini, as the foreign policy chief of the European Union (EU), stated that all EU member countries were united on the issue of Jerusalem—she reaffirmed the EU's firm stance on East Jerusalem being the capital of an independent Palestinian state.[8] By late 2022, only Guatemala, Honduras, and Kosovo had established diplomatic missions to Israel in Jerusalem; Paraguay reversed their 2018 decision within months, and the Honduran foreign ministry has since stated that they are considering a reversal of their decision as well.[9][10]
American Muslim civil advocacy groups rejected the policy change, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC). On December 5, Muslim, Interfaith and human rights groups held a protest outside the White House.[48] Palestinian officials said the announcement disqualifies the United States from peace talks.[13] Hamas called for a new intifada,
On December 6, 2017, the primate of the Greek Orthodox Church of Jerusalem, Patriarch Theophilos III, widely regarded as the most senior Christian figure in Jerusalem, and twelve other church leaders in the Holy Land sent a letter to Trump warning that his move “w[ould] yield increased hatred, conflict, violence and suffering in Jerusalem and the Holy Land, moving us farther from the goal of unity and deeper toward destructive division”.[64] Apart from Theophilos III, the letter was signed by heads of Jerusalem's Syrian, Armenian, Ethiopioan and Coptic Orthodox patriarchates as well as the Roman Catholic Church's Apostolic Administrator for Jerusalem (the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem). It was also signed by the Franciscan Order, the Greek-Melkite-Catholic patriarchate, the Maronites, the Episcopal Church, the Armenian Catholic and Syrian Catholic churches and the Evangelical Lutherans.[65]
Just over a year later, on March 25, 2019, the Trump administration signed in another U.S. presidential proclamation recognizing the Golan Heights as part of Israel. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_recognition_of_Jerusalem_as_capital_of_Israel#American_domestic_reactions
