It appears Israel’s Mossad and their secret activities have never been greater than they are now, with their secret agency smuggling missiles into the country and tricked Iran’s top military leaders to convene a meeting so they could be eliminated.

Here’s more from the New York Post:

Israeli spies smuggled missiles and secretly hid explosive drones deep inside Iran in a series of covert operations leading up to Friday’s deadly onslaught – before tricking military leaders into gathering for a meeting so they could be wiped out.

Intelligence agents with Mossad, Israel’s top spy agency, started infiltrating the heart of Iran several months back in order to pull off the surprise attack aimed at obliterating Iranian nuclear and military facilities, as well as a swath of top military commanders.

The spy agency planted the explosive drones inside Iran ahead of time as they laid the groundwork for the major strikes, according to Israeli security sources.

Agents also managed to smuggle precision weapons into central Iran so Israel could target Tehran’s defenses from within.

The stealth campaign, dubbed Operation “Rising Lion,” was eventually conducted in three separate operations early Friday – with the airstrikes each targeting specific weaponry and defense systems in Iran, one Israeli security source told The Post.

Commando units deployed precision-guided weapons near Iran’s surface-to-air missile defenses and targeted the Iranian systems.

A second operation set up strike systems and mounted technology onto vehicles that were launched at Iranian air defense systems.

The final operation targeted Iran’s surface-to-surface missile launchers at a base outside of Tehran when the explosive-laden drones were activated.

The unmanned aerial vehicles flew to the base and destroyed the launchers that had “posed a threat to Israeli strategic and civilian targets.”

The sabotage operations allowed Israel’s airstrikes to destroy radars and other surface-to-air defenses. Nuclear plants and uranium enrichment facilities were also targeted.

Roughly 200 aircraft were involved in the initial attack on about 100 targets, Israel’s military said.

Several high-ranking Iranian officials were killed in the strikes – including Gen. Hossein Salami, the head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard; Mohammad Bagheri, chief of the country’s military; Gholam Ali Rashid, head of Iran’s emergency command; and Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of the Revolutionary Guards aerospace force.

Israel was able to trick some top commanders of Iran’s air force into gathering for a meeting before they were targeted, an Israeli official told Fox News.

“We carried out specific activities to help us learn more about them, and then used that information to influence their behavior,” the official said.

“We knew this would lead them to meet — but more importantly, we knew how to keep them there.”

It wasn’t immediately clear how Israel managed to lure the Iranian officials together.

“Significant intelligence was gathered and surveillance was conducted to incriminate senior members of the Iranian defense establishment and nuclear scientists who were eliminated,” a source told The Post.

“This was carried out alongside a covert operational campaign targeting Iran’s strategic missile array.”
