According to a report, Israeli spy agencies have discovered that Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr intends to marry his four mistresses via phone.

This week, the New York Times published an investigation into the extent of Israeli spies' infiltration of Hezbollah prior to the assassination of its leader Hassan Nasrallah and other commanders in the Iran-backed terror group.

In July, Israel declared that its troops had killed Shukur during a rare and contentious attack in Beirut.

The Hezbollah commander was identified as the perpetrator of the rocket attack in Majdal Shams, resulting in the death of 12 people, including schoolchildren, according to Israel's assessment.

The bombing of a Marine Corps barrack in Lebanon in 1983, which resulted in the deaths of 241 American service members, was also accused by the United States of being orchestrated by Shukur.

According to the Times, Israeli intelligence agencies had identified four of Shukr's mistresses prior to the strike that resulted in his death.

According to two Israeli and a European official, Shukr, who appeared uncomfortable with his relationships, sought assistance from Hezbollah's top religious leader, Hashem Safieddine, to arrange marriages for the four women earlier this year.

Four phone-conducted marriage ceremonies were reportedly arranged by Safieddine.

The close monitoring of Hezbollah's leadership by Israeli intelligence agencies is evident through the personal details of Shukr.

The Times report uncovered that Israeli spy agencies secretly infiltrated the terror group and planted listening devices in their hideouts through human sources.

According to the Times, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the killing of Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, after a pager attack orchestrated by Israel's Mossad for years and increased strikes that killed Hezbollah leaders. Nasrallah, who led Hezbollah for three decades, was killed in an Israeli air raid that destroyed six apartment buildings in Beirut on Sept. 27. The Times reported that Nasrallah had ignored warnings from his commanders to change locations from his 40-foot underground Hezbollah bunker before the attack.

Despite being aware of the methodical Israeli intelligence, he believed that the Jewish state had no interest in an all-out war with Hezbollah.

Soon after Israeli F-15 jets destroyed the bunker, Nasrallah was reportedly found dead of suffocation underground, having been locked in an embrace with an Iranian general based in Lebanon.
