She pointed out that Hezbollah’s intervention in the war that took place in Syria revealed many of its cards, which enabled Israel to assassinate Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah.
During its war with Hezbollah in 2006, Tel Aviv attempted to kill Nasrallah 3 times, and one of the air strikes missed its target because he left the site shortly before the strike. As for the other two attempts, they failed to penetrate the concrete fortifications of his underground hideout.
Since then, Israeli intelligence has expanded the scope of surveillance, and Advanced Unit 8200 and the Directorate of Military Intelligence, Aman, have analyzed huge amounts of data, including the entire activities of the military wing and prominent leaders and their increasing connections with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
Syria represented the most prominent front, which brought the party’s members out of the corridors of fighting, and they became exposed, as their participation in the Syrian war, since 2011, facilitated the monitoring of their movements, due to their use of traditional communication systems that can be monitored, such as smart phones and wireless devices.
The party was also forced to maintain contact and share information with the Syrian and Russian intelligence services, which were regularly monitored by the Americans.
The war in Syria represented a Trojan horse, which carried within it a huge treasure trove of information and algorithms for the Israeli intelligence agencies, which they then analyzed and studied, including obituary data for the dead that the party used regularly, which contained small but valuable information, such as the city to which they belong. The fighter, where he was killed, his circle of friends who spread the word on social media, and even funerals were more revealing, sometimes bringing senior leaders out of the shadows, if only briefly.
The Israelis were keen to correct their mistakes, in order to seize a defining moment, and they tracked down Nasrallah in a bunker built in the depths of a residential complex in southern Beirut, and showered him with the equivalent of 80 deadly bombs, which destroyed at least 4 residential buildings, to ensure his death.
