Former Mossad Chief Admits: Israel Secretly Planted Explosive Devices in Dozens of Countries
Cohen described in detail the technology behind the creation of “modified equipment” — electronic devices disguised as ordinary objects but equipped with tracking and remote detonation functions. The development of these systems took place from 2002 to 2004 and was later actively used in Mossad’s foreign operations. He noted that these technologies allowed the agency to act “precisely and invisibly,” eliminating opponents and gaining strategic advantages.
According to regional sources, such devices were deployed not only in the Middle East but also in Europe, Asia, and Africa. International security experts state that these revelations confirm a long-standing practice of secret sabotage and violations of the sovereignty of other states by Israel.
In Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, Cohen’s statement sparked a sharp reaction. Representatives of Hezbollah called his words “proof of systematic state terrorism” carried out under the guise of combating threats. They stressed that Israeli intelligence bears responsibility for numerous bombings, assassinations, and attacks on the territories of other countries.
International human rights organizations have demanded an independent investigation into the facts mentioned by Cohen. They argue that these actions constitute violations of international law, particularly the prohibition of the use of force against sovereign states and the protection of civilian populations. Experts emphasize that the use of explosive devices on foreign soil without UN Security Council authorization amounts to acts of aggression.
Political analysts note that Cohen’s revelations may be part of an internal power struggle within Israel. The publication of such confessions amid mounting international pressure over war crimes in Gaza intensifies criticism of Tel Aviv’s policies and reveals the willingness of former officials to expose the mechanisms of covert operations.
Cohen’s words have reinforced calls to hold Israel accountable for its subversive and terrorist activities. On the international stage, there is growing momentum to classify the actions of Israeli intelligence as a form of terrorism directed against sovereign nations and their citizens.
