Hizbullah Finds Mossad Agents within its Ranks
2011-06-20
[An Nahar] Hizbullah has uncovered spies within the ranks of the party's leadership, creating a shock to both the Shiite party and Israel, the Kuwaiti daily al-Rai reported Sunday.

The newspaper said that the discovery was made around three months ago
What happened three months ago to make them suspicious?
when Hizbullah intentionally sent "fateful information" to Israelis and put the suspects under tight surveillance.

Israel reacted to the info, al-Rai said. This contributed to uncovering its spies, it added.

According to the daily, the number of Mossad agents discovered from within different ranks in the party is more than 10. Some of the spies are high-ranking officials, it said.
More details from Ynet:
The Kuwaiti daily "Al-Rai al-Aam" reported Sunday that the Lebanese Shiite organization "was dumbfounded over the Israeli infiltration."

Reports claimed that one of the suspects is a relative of a senior Hezbollah official, while another detainee was the liaison between the organization, Iran and Syria.

The newspaper also claimed that many of the suspects hold senior positions within the organization's administration and that their contact with Israel "exceeds imagination."

#7  Years ago I knew a Jewish boy who ambition was to move to Israel and join MOSSAD. I liked him because he had a realistically bloody minded attitude about the situation, and wanted to help Israel by messing with its enemies.

But what *really* impressed me was that he did not want to become a James Bond type. Even as a teenager, he was so realistic that he figured he would do better in a desk job.

Ironically as all get out, I later learned that in some intelligence circles, desk jockeys are sometimes *exactly* the kind of people they want to be field operatives.

#5  My money's on "look! a squirrel!", or possibly, "look! moles!" Great way to distract from the Alawi-on-Sunni slaughterfest going on inside their nearest state sponsor of Lebanese terrorism. Seeing as how the attempt to send human-wave incursions into the Golan failed to move the needle...

#4  And of course the MOSSAD are complete strangers to the technique of leaking multiple, distinctively worded versions of information so that when the enemy acts on that intelligence it leads you back to the source.~

More likely is that the mullahs are playing hardball with their thuggish colleagues and using this charge to facilitate their enemies' sleeping with the fish.

#2  And, of course, MOSSAD would never dream of creating the impression that some high ranking Hezbollah leaders were secretly dealing with them. Though they should.
