What are the chances that Israel could surprise Iran too?

Current and former US intelligence officials estimate that any Israeli attack on nuclear sites in Iran would go far beyond airstrikes from F-15 and F-16 fighter jets and likely include electronic warfare against the Islamic Republic's electric grid, Internet, cell phone network, and emergency frequencies for firemen and police officers.
The officials, who based their assessment on a US intelligence report published last summer, told the Daily Beast news website that Israel has been assembling a multibillion-dollar array of high-tech weapons that would allow it to jam, blind, and deafen Tehran's defenses in the case of a pre-emptive aerial strike.

The link doesn’t work.
We’ve been hearing this for YEARS.
It never happens.
Doesn’t necessarily mean that it won’t happen, but the endless false reportage is boring and stupid.
And all this time I had been expecting them to attack with stone knives and bearskins.
they told the daily beast? yeah, that makes it credible.
Maybe it IS true, since the link has been censored!

They’d probably also take Achmedinijad’s lunch money.
This is the most famous, well-publicized secret attack since Attilla the Hun made dinner reservations for 40,000 at his favorite restaurant in Rome.
Shock and awe Israeli style won’t do much damage to Iran, but will cost the US taxpayers and consumers a bunch of money.
We shall see. But Israel and the Democrats are looking for any excuse at all to declare martial law and cancel elections.
An attack on Iran now would give Obama what he needs to thwart the will of the people and stay in office indefinitely.
Sorry. Should be “Obama and the Democrats”.
there must be something in the water there in Mauritius,
“I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit”...it’s the only way to be sure.
“I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit”...it’s the only way to be sure.
Some of the methods used will probably be surprisingly low tech. If an Israeli strike ever occurs, it’ll be nothing like anyone expected. We’ll all be scratching our heads wondering: How’d they do that?

The Entebbe raid is a good example. The hostages were taken there because it was thought they'd be out of Israel's reach.
Obviously, this is more complex and the stakes are higher. However, I'd never underestimate the Israelis with so much on the line.
I overestimated Israel; I thought this would be solved years ago. They need to get moving, perhaps before Iran is prepared or perhaps after Iran decides that this is another false alarm, but it needs to happen within months, not years. The alternative is to nuke Iran and wipe that country out . . . in retaliation. I prefer preempting and saving lives on both sides.
