The blogger reported this morning (Wednesday) on a secret intelligence conflict underway in Africa between Israel\u2019s Mossad and Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A long-standing shadow war<\/strong><br \/>\nAccording to the report, this is an intelligence war that has been going on for years, involving surveillance, arrests, intelligence collection, and influence operations across several African countries, including Gabon, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Nigeria, Morocco, and Kenya.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20619\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20619\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20619 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/turkiya2-1024x769.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/turkiya2-1024x769.webp 1024w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/turkiya2-300x225.webp 300w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/turkiya2-768x576.webp 768w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/turkiya2-1536x1153.webp 1536w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/turkiya2.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20619\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hezbollah | Photo: Shutterstock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The report claims Mossad agents have been working to identify Hezbollah\u2019s financial networks, uncover hidden weapons stockpiles, and disrupt planned terror activities. One notable case cited occurred in 2017, when Mossad reportedly abducted Abd al-Muhsen Jamal Hussein al-Shati, a member of a local terror cell, in Libreville, Gabon. The intelligence he possessed was later shared with American and Kuwaiti agencies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hezbollah\u2019s criminal enterprise in Africa<\/strong><br \/>\nThe publication further reveals that Hezbollah is running extensive criminal operations in Africa, including fundraising, smuggling, money laundering, and drug trafficking. These efforts are reportedly facilitated through diamond smuggling routes and partnerships with South American drug cartels. Estimates suggest that 30\u201340% of Hezbollah\u2019s current budget now originates from such global illicit networks.<\/p>\n<p>By Adi Neiman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A covert confrontation in Africa between Mossad and Hezbollah exposed: operations, arrests, and a chase after terror funds disguised as diamond and drug trafficking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":20618,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[4667,4568,4670,4672,1544,4668,1579,4671,1505,4669],"class_list":["post-20616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-security","tag-africa-operations","tag-covert-operations","tag-diamond-smuggling","tag-global-security-networks","tag-hezbollah","tag-intelligence-clash","tag-mossad","tag-mossad-counterterrorism","tag-terror","tag-terror-financing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.7 (Yoast SEO v24.7) -
