Israeli website Debka has issued a travel warning for all Israelis that Hezbollah is planning an attack on undisclosed locations. The attack is in response to the assassination of Imad Mughniyeh three years ago. Mossad and most likely, the US and Interpol, are racing to identify the target before the attack takes place. It is the first time such a world wide warning has been issued by the 63 years old security service in its history.
This is also the first time any Western or Middle East intelligence agency has ever released the names of terrorist masterminds before an attack. It normally takes months or even years for their identities to be discovered and even longer for their disclosure.
The Mossad may have put their names in the public domain in the hope of somehow stalling the Hizballah operation in the nick of time:
The five top Hizballah terrorist operatives named are:
Talal Hamiyah, head of Hizballah's External Security Organization – ESO. Deputy of the late Moughniyeh for many years, Hamiyah stepped into the slain terror-master's shoes as commander of overseas operations. Hizballah's Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah has entrusted him with avenging the death of his late boss.
Ahmed Al-Fayd, Hamiyah's operations officer and right hand.
Najem a-Din, Hizballah's bomb expert.
Naim Haris. In the guise of a Lebanese businessman, he is responsible for recruiting collaborators in different countries for Hizballah's overseas hits.
Mehmet Taharawrlu, a Turkish national who recruites local talent to assist in Hizballah attacks in Turkey.
The warning was not issued as an official notice but leaked through mainstream media and marked red alert. As one source put it, "The wedding has begun." Counter-terror sources interpreted this extraordinary communication to the public as meaning that Hezbollah's plot is too advanced for Israel's counter-terror agencies to preempt at source and a hectic race is afoot for them to beat Hezbollah to its target or at least limit the damage.
No Israeli intelligence would disclose the location or country where the attack was to take place, only that the timeline was "immediate."
Any info on these individuals should be given to the authorities at once.
