Exclusive: How Israeli chemical agent exposed Hezbollah leader’s location
By Nasir Dambatta, with Agency Reports
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah was reportedly assassinated by Israel after being marked with a chemical agent that allowed Israeli operatives to track his movements, according to Saudi news outlet Al Hadath.
The report claims that Nasrallah shook hands with an Israeli agent, possibly an Iranian visitor in Beirut, who transferred the unknown substance. This tracking agent, detected by drones or advanced sensors, enabled Israeli forces to carry out a deadly airstrike on Friday, killing Nasrallah and over 20 Hezbollah members.
The Israeli Intelligence Directorate reportedly directed the precision strike, utilizing micro-drones invisible to the naked eye to maintain constant surveillance over Beirut. Some security experts suggest Nasrallah was marked with an undetectable chemical agent similar to Cold War-era “spy dust” used by the KGB. Others believe a mole may have tipped off Israeli intelligence to his location.
Nasrallah’s body was recovered intact, but the strike marked a significant blow to Hezbollah. Israel, known for cutting-edge research in modern urban warfare, has been developing advanced surveillance technologies, including hidden cameras and bio-sensors embedded in Beirut’s infrastructure. Their sophisticated systems, such as ‘Bionet’ and ‘EMS Persona,’ leverage artificial intelligence to track Hezbollah operatives and sort through vast amounts of data to streamline operations.
These high-tech tools are giving Israel the edge in its ongoing battle with Hezbollah, allowing them to eliminate key targets with surgical precision.
