A "New York Times" investigation shows how deeply compromised Hezbollah was after decades of Israeli espionage.
(Dec. 29, 2024 / JNS) Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah underestimated Israel’s willingness to assassinate him, believing that Jerusalem wanted to avoid a full-scale war, according to a New York Times investigation published on Sunday.
Despite warnings from his aides, he remained in a Beirut bunker 40 feet underground on Sept. 27, which is where Israeli F-15 fighter jets dropped massive explosives, ending the life of the longtime leader of Iran’s Lebanese terrorist proxy along with other senior Hezbollah leaders.
His body was found the next day, buried in the rubble in the embrace of a top Iranian general based in Lebanon, both having died of suffocation, according to Israeli intelligence reports.
