How Mossad Snipers Shot a General from a Moving Cable Car Above the City

August 22, 2001, Téléphérique de Jounieh, Lebanon. Hezbollah military coordinator Hassan Kareem, planning anti-aircraft operations against Israeli jets, lives in a fortified compound in the mountains above Jounieh where traditional sniper positions are impossible. Mossad identifies the tourist cable car system that passes 420 meters from his rooftop terrace—bribing the téléphérique operator and conducting 11 reconnaissance rides to calculate ballistics from a moving platform suspended over the Mediterranean. On ride twelve, two snipers posing as German tourists bring a disassembled rifle in a hiking backpack, assemble it during the 8-minute ascent, and during the 45-second window when the cable car aligns perfectly with Kareem's terrace where he takes morning coffee, they fire through the open window—the .300 Winchester Magnum round strikes him in the chest as he reads his newspaper while the cable car continues its arc toward the mountain station, tourists never hearing the suppressed shot, and the "Germans" descend via a hiking trail to a waiting speedboat.
