"... Senior officials who wish to meet him and even representatives of Iran's Revolutionary Guards do it at a central bunker; Nasrallah arrives for such sessions under heavy security and a veil of secrecy. The views regarding his hideout the rest of the time are inconclusive.

... Colonel Shlomo Mofaz, the former deputy head of the army's research division, says that Nasrallah is unlikely to conduct himself like a Gaza fugitive. "We are talking about a man with great self-respect; a man who is above the masses…a man like him does not dart from one place to another. Nasrallah has an underground system of bunkers where he spends most of his day."

Intelligence officials do agree about Nasrallah's general location. "In order to continue to run the organization and be close to the decision-making center, he must be in the Beirut region,"... Nonetheless, is it possible to overcome all the security rings and pinpoint Nasrallah's location? Israel's intelligence community is considered a world leader in utilizing agents, but an intelligence official says that in Nasrallah's case the mission becomes increasingly complex, even compared to radical regimes.... Mofaz believes that killing Nasrallah would be good for Israel. "At this time I do not see a charismatic successor like him; a man who has the political clout, ties with the Iranians, and religious authority."

For the time being, Nasrallah continues to threaten Israel. Hezbollah in 2011 is no longer a small guerilla group, but rather, an organization that maintains major missile capabilities. In the midst of an unstable, volatile Arab world, Nasrallah is able to produce a steady, problematic threat against Israel..."
