“Leaked documents show US intelligence on Israel’s plans to attack Iran, sources say”

“The US is investigating a leak of highly classified US intelligence about Israel’s plans for retaliation against Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter. One of the people familiar confirmed the documents’ authenticity.

The leak is “deeply concerning,” a US official told CNN.

The documents, dated October 15 and 16, began circulating online Friday after being posted on Telegram by an account called “Middle East Spectator.””

“American documents detailing Israel’s preparations for an attack on Iran were leaked online on Friday. The documents, allegedly leaked from the U.S. Department of Defense’s National Incident Management Systems and Advanced Technologies (NIMSAT) institute, outline findings from ongoing surveillance of Israel’s preparations for a response to the October 1 ballistic missile attack.

An Israeli source informed Haaretz that the U.S. has apologized to Israel for the leak.

At this point, the authenticity of the documents remains unclear. If they are genuine, it is uncertain how or why they were leaked.

The documents were first published by a pro-Iranian Telegram channel, Middle East Spectator, which claimed to have received them from a source within an American intelligence agency. Sources in Washington declined to comment but did not deny the authenticity of the documents.

The information, collected on October 15 and 16, includes the concealment of fortified underground warplane bunkers at the Hatzerim airbase and signs of preparations for arming plane-launched ballistic missiles.

The IDF conducted a large-scale exercise last week for a potential attack, involving three refueling aircraft and a command-and-control G550 plane developed by Israel Aerospace Industries.

The document also notes preparations for arming planes with two types of air launched ballistic missiles. One of them is the ROCKS, developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. The advantage of these missiles is their ability to launch precise munitions from a distance, beyond an enemy’s aerial defense systems.

Another missile mentioned in the leaked documents is called “Golden Horizon,” a name not previously released publicly, making it difficult to identify. It may refer to a missile from the Sparrow series, typically used as a target for aerial defense systems but also capable of offensive use, like the missiles it simulates.”

Likely a 20-something “free Palestine” type, burrowed deep in the Intel community.
