How Mossad Posed as Wedding Planners to Tag a Palestinian Leader

Описание: A Palestinian wedding in Amman. Three hundred guests celebrating under crystal chandeliers. Among them sits Khaled Nasser—construction contractor by day, Hamas logistics coordinator by night. He doesn't know that the wedding planners pinning boutonnieres to guests' lapels aren't wedding planners at all.

For six months, Mossad built an entire company—Celebrations of Distinction—with real clients and flawless credentials. All to get close enough to one man for fifteen seconds. Long enough to plant tracking devices smaller than grains of rice.

This film reconstructs an operation where intelligence services turned celebration into surveillance, where boutonnières concealed RFID chips, and where hotel restrooms contained compounds designed to tag a target who sensed danger everywhere except among family. We examine how operatives performed actual wedding planning—organizing real events, hiring local staff—to establish cover for a single high-stakes evening.

We trace the technology: custom tracking devices, particle compounds detectable at kilometers' distance, and cameras concealed in floral arrangements. We explore the tradecraft: operatives who lived their covers so completely that even hotel security saw only wedding staff. And we follow the intelligence gathered—movement patterns, safe house locations, Iranian handler meetings—that turned a family celebration into strategic intelligence.

But was using a family wedding as cover for intelligence operations justified—or an ethical boundary that shouldn't be crossed regardless of the target?
