Israel's Advanced Military Technology: A History of Targeted Assassinations

Israel has long been recognized for its innovative use of advanced technology in military operations, particularly in targeted assassinations of figures deemed threats to its national security. This article explores some of the most notable assassinations that highlight Israel's sophisticated methods.

Mahmoud Al-Hamshari: A Deadly Trap

One of the first high-profile assassinations was that of Mahmoud Al-Hamshari, the Palestine Liberation Organization's representative in France. Following the Munich Olympics massacre in 1972, Israel's Mossad devised a cunning plan. They posed as an Italian journalist and arranged an interview, during which they planted a bomb in the telephone at the meeting site. On December 8, 1972, when Al-Hamshari answered the phone, the bomb detonated, leading to his death a month later in the hospital.

Yahya Ayash: The Engineer of Explosives

Another significant target was Yahya Ayash, a Palestinian engineer known for his expertise in bomb-making. After years of evading capture, the Israeli security service, Shabak, managed to assassinate him on January 5, 1996. They planted explosives in a mobile phone he was using to talk to his father, which detonated during the call, showcasing Israel's ability to utilize technology for precise strikes.

The Use of High-Tech Assassination Methods

The assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a key Iranian nuclear scientist, on November 27, 2020, marked a new era in targeted killings. Reports indicated that a remote-controlled robot equipped with artificial intelligence was used in the operation, capable of firing 600 rounds per minute. This incident underscores the evolution of assassination techniques, merging military strategy with cutting-edge technology. In a more recent event, on September 17, 2024, Hezbollah accused Israel of a series of bombings involving communication devices in Lebanon, resulting in numerous casualties. This incident further illustrates the ongoing conflict and the use of technology in warfare.
