Before Israel launched an unprecedented wave of strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities and top military leaders this week, its spies were already on the ground in enemy territory.
Israeli intelligence agency Mossad had smuggled weapons into Iran ahead of the strikes, according to Israeli security officials, and would use the weapons to target Iran’s defense from within.
The officials said Israel established a base for launching explosive drones inside Iran, and the drones were later used to target missile launchers near Tehran. Precision weapons were also smuggled in and used to target surface-to-air missile systems, clearing the way for Israel’s Air Force to carry out more than 100 strikes with upward of 200 aircraft in the early hours of Friday local time.
The plan to disable Iranian defenses seems to have been effective; Israel said all of its aircraft returned safely from the first waves of strikes, appearing to show Israeli air superiority over parts of a country hundreds of miles away.
Intelligence gathered by the Mossad in Iran also gave Israel’s air force the ability to target senior Iranian commanders and scientists.
In an incredibly rare move, the Mossad released video from some of its operations, showing drones attacking what appear to be unsuspecting missile launchers.
It is the latest operation to show how deeply Israel’s intelligence services, including the Mossad, have penetrated some of Iran’s most closely guarded secrets. The operations have made the Mossad appear a nearly unstoppable force in Iran, capable of hitting at some of its highest-ranking officials and most sensitive sites.
“Mossad has treated Iran like its playground for years now,” said Holly Dagres, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute and curator of the Iranist newsletter.

Communist News Network working with terrorists.

Mossad does things the way they should be done.
Iran’s missile retaliation just hit the Israeli equivalent of our Pentagon.
Only a Drive-By Media creepozoid would label anything in the Middle East a playground.
The Drive-By Media girliemen have their own playground, where they compare their different kinds of quiche.
this attack is starting look like the attacks on Hezbollah.
Why didn’t the mullahs see something like that in their future?
Maybe they thought the attacks would come from the USA—which might be less effective and give them more political points.
The israelis say they have a couple weeks to go.
Communist News Network still around spreading lies and keeping up with its BFFs the terrorists.
I’ve seen corrections on that. It hit in the neighborhood but not the building.

Okay - you know the left wing liberal media likes to report misinformation.
“Iran’s missile retaliation just hit the Israeli equivalent of our Pentagon.”
I’m sure it was empty.

I guess Iran couldn’t find Israel ....
Another poster said it missed the building and hit the neighborhood area.
Can we get the Mossad to do the FBI stuff for us?
I was prepared to be impressed by the Iranians shooting if that story was true.
but they have never shown that kind of accuracy before. that kind of accuracy would require a technology upgrade. they’re not there yet.
“...Why didn’t the Iranians see this coming?...”
Dumb democrats of the Middle East.
