Israeli Mossad executes covert ops amid Iran airstrike
Published June 13th, 2025 - 07:56 GMT ALBAWABA - Significantly, an Israeli security source revealed information on three secret Mossad operations inside Iran that were timed to an Israeli airstrike. According to reports, the goal of these activities was to erode Iran's air and missile defense capabilities. Israeli commando soldiers conducted the first operation in central Iran, infiltrating the region and placing precision-guided weapon systems in close proximity to Iranian surface-to-air missile batteries. These systems fired simultaneous attacks as the aerial assault began, striking their targets with excellent precision. The goal of the second operation was to destroy Iran's air defense systems. Advanced offensive technology were installed in cars parked close to important defensive locations by Mossad agents. These gadgets were set to deactivate Iran's aerial defense systems as soon as the aerial attack began. Mossad remotely launched pre-deployed drones from secret base inside Iran — Times of Israel citing security source Kamikaze drones hit missile launchers and military infrastructure — preventing strikes on Israel — RT (@RT_com) June 13, 2025 In the third operation, Mossad used pre-positioned unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) loaded with explosives to create an internal drone base within Iranian territory. In order to eliminate Iran's offensive capabilities, these drones attacked surface-to-surface missile systems close to Tehran. The synchronized assaults demonstrate the breadth and depth of Mossad's operational and intelligence capabilities and mark a daring uptick in Israel's shadow war with Iran. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (
