How Mossad Turned a Priest’s Incense Burner into a Trap for a Chemical Weapons Expert

Khalid al-Jamil, a chemical engineer known as "The Engineer," believed he had found the perfect sanctuary: the Saint George Maronite Cathedral in Beirut. Knowing that an Israeli airstrike on the holy site would ignite a sectarian firestorm, he hid in plain sight, attending early morning prayers surrounded by bodyguards. However, he didn't account for Eitan, a Mossad chemist disguised as a visiting scholar from the Pontifical Institute in Rome. Eitan carried a modified thurible—a brass incense burner—that concealed a hermetically sealed ampule of a custom incapacitating gas inside its charcoal chamber. As he walked the aisle to "bless" the congregation, the heat from the burning frankincense ruptured the ampule. The odorless gas knocked out al-Jamil and his guards instantly. The team then staged a dramatic medical emergency, carrying the "unconscious" target out the front door to a waiting ambulance, extracting him alive without firing a single shot.
