Mossad, Israel’s spy agency, has revealed how it apparently prepared the ground for the country’s largest-ever attacks on Iranian targets on Friday night by releasing footage of covert operations inside the Middle Eastern rival nation.
In a rare revelation of videos of the operation, a drone is seen attacking suspected missile launchers in Iran as Israel launched its “preemptive attacks” against Iran’s nuclear program and military installations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the codename of the mission was ‘Operation Rising Lion’.

According to the Israeli officials, the operation was executed by smuggling weapons into Iran and setting up a drone base, aiming to nullify the country’s air defence systems.
Taking cover of the night, Mossad commandos entered central Iran and collected on-ground intel to disable radar systems and S-300 air defence systems with the smuggled weapons, thus clearing a path for the Israeli fighter jets to infiltrate Iranian airspace, The Times of Israel reported.
Additionally, vehicles carrying weapons systems were smuggled into Iran.These systems took out Iran’s air defenses and gave Israeli planes air supremacy and freedom of action over Iran.

The video that surfaced online purportedly shows strikes using drones that Mossad planted on military installations near Tehran.
The security officials said that Mossad’s covert operation allowed the Israeli air force to fly over 200 aircraft on early Friday morning and launch strikes inside Iran.

The Israeli attack inflicted heavy damage on Iran’s military and nuclear sites. Among those killed in the Israeli strikes are top Iranian military leaders: Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, the armed forces chief of staff; Gen. Hossein Salami, head of the Revolutionary Guard; and Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, who led the Guard’s missile program. Two nuclear scientists were also killed.
Israel launched ‘Operation Rising Lion’ to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program, which comes as part of Netanyahu’s firm stance that Iran can only be denuclearised using military force.
