How Mossad Snipers Shot a Terrorist from Inside a Moving Truck on the Highway

June 14, 2008, Beirut coastal highway. Palestinian Islamic Jihad coordinator Faisal Al-Khaled travels weekly between Beirut and Sidon in an armored Mercedes, varying routes and timing to prevent ambush, his convoy protected by chase cars and motorcycle outriders. Mossad develops a mobile sniper platform—a commercial delivery truck with a hidden compartment containing a gyro-stabilized shooting position and armor-piercing ammunition. For six weeks, the truck makes legitimate furniture deliveries along the coastal route, establishing pattern normalcy with Lebanese police. On the seventh trip, intelligence confirms Al-Khaled's convoy schedule; the truck positions itself 200 meters ahead on the highway, the rear door opens 15 centimeters, and as the Mercedes passes at 110 km/h, the sniper—compensating for both vehicles' motion, wind, and bullet drop—fires through the "armored" window (actually vulnerable to .50 BMG rounds) striking Al-Khaled in the head. The convoy crashes, the furniture truck continues driving, exits the highway 4 kilometers later, and is abandoned in a pre-scouted warehouse—Lebanese investigators blame a rival Palestinian faction.
