French Daily Claims Iranian Spy Spilled The Beans on Hassan Nasrallah

The French newspaper “Le Parisien” claimed that “an Iranian spy informed Israel of the news of the arrival of the Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah to the southern suburb of Beirut following the funeral of the leader of the party’s drone unit, Mohammed Sorur, and that the deputy commander of the Quds Force in Lebanon, Abbas Nilforoushan, was with him in the same car.

The newspaper reported “Israel waited for Nasrallah’s meeting with the party’s leaders to begin before carrying out the raid,” revealing that “Nasrallah and the party’s leaders met in a location 30 meters underground.

In addition to Nasrallah and the deputy commander of the Iranian Quds Force, 12 senior Hezbollah officials attended the meeting.”

The Israeli Channel 12 reported “the commander of the Lebanese region in Israeli military intelligence was the one who ordered the raid on Nasrallah, who was inside an underground hole in the southern suburb.” The channel said that “the same official was at the army headquarters in Tel Aviv during the execution,” adding: “The raid on the suburb was planned in advance due to information built over the years by the Shin Bet and Mossad.”

The attack began after the Israeli Air Force dropped 80 MK84 bunker-busting bombs, each weighing one ton, according to a report by the Israeli Broadcasting Authority, while each bomb is capable of penetrating fortifications at a depth of 50 to 70 meters underground.

It was “Unit 119’, known as ‘the Bat’ in the Israeli Air Force that carried out the operation, while the aircrafts that carried out the attack are of the F-15 variety.

According to Israeli Channel 13, Hezbollah’s main headquarters is located on the 14th floor underground as reported by Jordan24 based on a report from Al Quds Al Arabi.
