Israel Reveals Details of Nasrallah's Assassination on Its First Anniversary: A Fatal Mistake That Accelerated His End

On the first anniversary of the assassination of Hezbollah's Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, the Israeli army published new intelligence data about the operation, which was described as one of the most complex assassinations in the history of the conflict with the party.

According to a report issued by the Israeli military intelligence directorate, Nasrallah was unaware that he was the next target in the assassination campaign aimed at Hezbollah leaders, as he continued to plan attacks against Israel from his secret hideout following what was known as the "Bigger Attack," without realizing that his movements were under close surveillance.

The report added that the Secretary-General was trying during that period to rebuild the military capabilities of the organization after the Israeli strikes on the infrastructure and prominent leaders, but his attempts failed due to "intensive intelligence monitoring."

The Israeli army confirmed that the assassination operation relied on accurate information gathered over the years, which enabled the identification of the fortified location where Nasrallah was hiding in the southern suburbs of Beirut, built with Iranian techniques and in complete secrecy even within the party's closed circles.

On September 27, 2024, the Israeli Air Force launched an attack using 83 bunker-busting bombs on the underground command center, resulting in the death of Nasrallah and several senior military leaders.


The Israeli army described the operation as one of the most complex operations it has carried out against Hezbollah, considering it a major strategic blow to the Iran-backed organization.
