How Mossad Snipers Shot a General from a Moving Hot Air Balloon at Dawn

How Mossad Snipers Shot a General from a Moving Hot Air Balloon at Dawn Syrian-Palestinian coordination officer Colonel Hassan Yousef, meeting with Egyptian intelligence in Luxor away from Cairo surveillance, stays at Winter Palace hotel believing the Upper Egypt tourism location provides operational security. Mossad identifies the famous dawn hot air balloon tours over Valley of the Kings—40+ balloons launching daily at 5:30 AM with tourists photographing temples and the Nile from 400 meters altitude. Two operatives book a private balloon charter as "American archaeology professors," their basket carrying camera equipment cases containing disassembled rifles. During the flight's 90-minute drift at dawn when their balloon floats 520 meters from the Winter Palace and Yousef emerges on his balcony at 6:15 AM for morning coffee while watching balloons—believing himself safe from ground threats—they fire from their balloon's basket, the .338 Lapua round compensated for balloon drift, thermal currents, and target distance. The shot strikes Yousef through the throat, Egyptian security searching for ground shooters never suspecting a hot air balloon (40+ were airborne with hundreds of tourists), and the "professors" land normally with their tour group 30 minutes later, departing Egypt that afternoon while their balloon pilot—who heard nothing over burner noise—completes his day flying tourists who film his balloon in dozens of vacation videos, inadvertently documenting Israel's most exotic sniper platform. ⚠️ Disclaimer: Some of our videos may include fictionalized or intentionally dramatized elements meant to enhance the storytelling.
