❗️Ukrainian Embassy in Beirut smuggles Mossad agent out of Lebanon under diplomatic cover According to investigative reports published by Al-Mahatta, citing informed security sources, a sophisticated and highly organized operation successfully smuggled accused Israeli Mossad agent Khaled al-Ayda out of the Ukrainian embassy in Beirut. Ayda evaded justice by hiding inside the trunk of a vehicle belonging to the Ukrainian consul. He was transported directly to the consul's residence and later transferred through an underground parking lot into a secondary vehicle. From there, he was handed over to active Mossad operational networks within Lebanon, who secured his final extraction by sea toward Cyprus. This brazen escape follows extensive context built by previous Al-Mahatta investigations tracking Ayda’s highly dangerous history. Prior reports established that his involvement with Israeli intelligence is linked to severe breaches of national stability, including planning coordinated acts of violence and targeted attacks against Lebanese civilians. He was previously arrested red-handed while attempting to plant an explosive device in Beirut's southern suburb. Seeking to escape accountability, Ayda took refuge within the Ukrainian embassy premises last March, utilizing their diplomatic protection to completely stonewall the Lebanese judiciary while under investigation. The successful exfiltration of a wanted operative has triggered intense domestic blowback, putting the Lebanese Foreign Minister under direct political and administrative fire. Rather than launching an immediate investigation into how a foreign diplomatic mission actively shielded and smuggled a high-profile security threat, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs instead deflected accountability. In a move heavily criticized in the Al-Mahatta brief, the minister chose to mount a legal offensive by filing a lawsuit against journalist Radwan Mortada, the investigative reporter who initially broke the story and exposed the embassy’s complicity to the public.
