Report: Hezbollah held off on targeting Mossad base with precision-guided missiles at last minute, fearing Israeli response

Hezbollah considered striking the IDF military base that houses the Mossad intelligence agency with precision-guided missiles but decided against it at the last minute due to concerns that doing so would elicit a strong reaction from Israel, Army Radio reports.

The Glilot base near Herzliya is home to the Mossad headquarters along with several IDF intelligence units, including the high-profile signals intelligence group Unit 8200.

Another reason the base wasn’t attacked is due to internal tensions between the military head of Hezbollah’s south Lebanon operations, Hezbollah’s general operations chief and the terror group’s intel chief, Army Radio says, without elaborating.
