Did Mossad Just Take Down Iran's Biggest Weapon?

On Friday, as Israel sent scores of fighter jets to take out targets across Iran , Mossad carried out sabotage operations within the country. This included constructing a drone base inside Iran , planting high-precision guided weapons near Iran’s surface-to-air missile batteries and hiding weapon platforms inside civilian vehicles across the country. When the air campaign began, Mossad. In a years-long operation, Mossad's spies smuggled in armed drones and precision weapons into Iran, which later crippled its air defences and missile systems, clearing the skies for Israel's blistering offensives, suggest several reports citing experts and anonymous officials. Israel stunned Iran last week with an intelligence and military operation years in the making that struck high-level targets with precision. Israel ’ s Operation Rising Lion , which aims to neuter Iran’s nuclear and long-range weapons capabilities, began with an overnight attack on a wide array of targets. These strikes included the use of drones and missiles launched by operatives from deep within Iran. When the Israeli attack began, these weapons were launched and destroyed Iranian air defense targets. Mossad also established an attack drone base inside Iran with drones that were smuggled in long before the operation, the Israeli intelligence official said. A former director of intelligence at Israeli spy agency Mossad has told Sky News it was "shocking" how quickly Israel "took down " Iran's air defences. With the military campaign still ongoing, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears set on the difficult, perhaps impossible mission, of fully eliminating Iran’s nuclear project. Israel’s military said Sunday that “99%” of projectiles fired by Iran were intercepted by Israel and its partners, with only “a small number” of ballistic missiles reaching Israel. Israel sent Mossad commandos deep into Iran to destroy Iranian weapons systems during Israel's attack on nuclear and military targets, an Israeli security source said, while another official.
