NYT: Israel has sent undercover commandos deep into Lebanon for 'sensitive intelligence missions'

The New York Times says that Israel has worked since the conclusion of the Second Lebanon War in 2006 to build up a formidable intelligence apparatus that deeply penetrated the Hezbollah terror organization.

The report says Israel has sent undercover commandos “deep into the country” to carry out “sensitive intelligence missions.”

Officials tell the outlet that Israel’s willingness to carry out daring missions sets it apart from the intelligence agencies and units of other countries.

The report additionally says the focus of the IDF’s signals intelligence Unit 8200 on Hezbollah meant that the military could pass information to the US that resulted in the airstrike that killed General Qassem Soleimani in Iraq in January 2020.
