How Mossad Agents Disguised as Monks Raided a Mountain Sanctuary

Описание: A man in monk's robes walks through ancient stone corridors, attending prayers and tending gardens alongside elderly brothers who have devoted their lives to God. But Brother Michael is not who he claims to be. Neither are several other recent visitors to this remote Lebanese monastery.

This is the story of how Mossad operatives disguised themselves as monks to infiltrate a 500-year-old Christian sanctuary and eliminate a Palestinian Islamic Jihad commander who had transformed sacred ground into terrorist headquarters. Khalil Mahmoud believed he had found the perfect hiding place where Israeli intelligence would never look.

We reconstruct the operation from financial forensics that first detected him, through three months of preparation where operatives learned to pray in Latin and Arabic, to the midnight execution in a locked monastery cell. We examine how the team maintained cover while living among innocent monks, how they staged a natural death, and how they extracted intelligence that prevented coordinated suicide bombings across Israeli cities.

But this operation raises profound questions: Is it justified to violate religious sanctuary—one of civilization's oldest protections—even to stop terrorist attacks? What happens to operatives who must build genuine relationships while planning violence in their midst?

We explore the monastery's continued existence today, where elderly monks still pray for Brother Michael's soul, never knowing the truth buried in their cemetery.
