"Suicide" of Israeli Military Intelligence Officer Linked to Spying Cells in Lebanon?!


"Suicide" of Israeli Officer Linked to Spying Cells in Lebanon?!

01/06/2009 A high-ranking officer in a sensitive position in the Israeli occupation’s Military Intelligence committed suicide on Sunday, Israel's Channel 2 television reported…

The news is too simple: an Israeli officer committed suicide, and that's it. The reasons, motives and repercussions of the "suicide act" remain vague and ambiguous amid reports about a "sensitive" nature of the officer's work. At least, this is what the Israelis want…

Yet, big question marks were immediately raised and a link was built between the suspicious and surprising suicide at this specific timing at one side and the ongoing collapse of the Israeli Mossad-linked networks all over Lebanon.

Indeed, and according to Israeli media, the suicide officer, or perhaps the killed officer, used to occupy a "sensitive" post within the Israeli intelligence. The officer, a 43-year-old major, was a married father of two. He had served for many years in various functions in MI's electronic intelligence-gathering unit, 8200.

Israeli media warned that the discovery of the "sensitive" missions of the mentioned officer would be very harmful to the security of the Zionist entity. It seems, however, obvious that the "sensitive" arena of expertise of the "suicide man" is the Lebanese battleground that witnessed lately a sequential breakdown of the Israeli spying networks. But does the mentioned officer hold "secrets" concerning this file? And does Israel intend to hid something that could change hypotheses made in Lebanon concerning a series of security incidents that took place during the last three years?

According to the Israeli Television's military correspondent Nir Dfouri, the officer's suicide surprised lots of people within the Israeli intelligence. "Actually, he's a high-ranking officer who occupied a very sensitive post within the Israeli intelligence," he said. However, he noted that all options remain open. "The first conclusion was that he committed suicide. But this doesn't deny other possibilities," he said, hinting that the Israeli officer might have been killed.

It was also remarkable that the Israeli media spoke of "shock" and "confusion" within the circles close to the "suicide officer" who denied knowing anything about his intention to commit suicide. The Israeli police is, meanwhile, focusing its investigation on a series of letters left by the officer knowing that there doesn't to seem any relation between the letters and the officer's killing.

As Israel's ring of Lebanese spies breaks, ...senior Israeli Military Intelligence official 'commits suicide'...



Haaretz, here
"...A officer in a sensitive position in Military Intelligence shot himself in the head on his base yesterday, in an apparent suicide.

The Military Police are investigating whether the suicide was due to personal circumstances or his intelligence work.

The officer, a 43-year-old major, was a married father of two. He had served for many years in various functions in MI's electronic intelligence-gathering unit, 8200.. ....

The officer's death was received with shock in the unit, which is considered MI's most exclusive. Military sources told Haaretz that their preliminary investigation found no indications that the officer was contemplating suicide. ..."
