The Mossad has released rare footage of its covert operations targeting Iran’s air defenses and ballistic missile launchers earlier today.

An Israeli official revealed that the Mossad secretly established a drone base inside Iran specifically for this mission. The drones launched from this site struck missile launchers near Tehran, effectively neutralizing Iran’s ability to retaliate with projectiles as Israel’s airstrikes commenced.

In parallel, weapons systems were smuggled into Iran using disguised vehicles. These systems dismantled Iranian air defenses, allowing Israeli aircraft to operate freely in Iranian airspace.

A third element of the operation involved Mossad commandos deploying precision-guided missiles near anti-aircraft batteries in central Iran, further crippling Tehran’s aerial defenses.

The IDF has announced it has the situation under control following Iran’s launch of over 100 drones toward Israel. Israeli Air Force jets have been intercepting the drones outside Israeli airspace, and none are reported to have entered the country so far.

The Home Front Command will continue monitoring and will issue new alerts if any further danger emerges from Iran.

Officials also clarified that the decision to activate nationwide sirens at 3 a.m. was driven by intelligence assessments that Iran would respond swiftly to Israeli airstrikes — a retaliation that ultimately did not occur.

Israeli Security Source – Behind the Scenes of the Israeli Strike in Iran

The Mossad secretly developed capabilities inside Iran aimed at neutralizing the country’s strategic missile systems and air defense capabilities. Mossad agents smuggled large quantities of specialized weaponry into Iran, distributed it throughout the country, and launched it precisely and effectively toward designated targets.

Details that can be revealed:

1. Mossad commando units deployed precision-guided weapons in open areas near Iranian surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems to disrupt attempts to target Israeli aircraft.

2. Advanced technologies were integrated into vehicles. As the surprise attack began, these weapons were launched and completely destroyed the designated targets – Iran’s air defense systems.

3. The Mossad established an explosive drone base inside Iran, which launched drones toward surface-to-surface missile launchers located at the Asfajabad base near Tehran, which pose a threat to both strategic and civilian targets in Israel

The Israeli Air Force has launched a major aerial assault on Tehran, targeting key sites tied to Iran’s nuclear infrastructure.

According to the IDF, the mission—referred to as “Nation of Lions”—aims to neutralize what it calls an imminent danger posed by Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium, believed to be sufficient for producing multiple nuclear bombs within days.

Multiple military and nuclear-related facilities across Iran are reportedly under attack.

“All citizens must follow the Home Front Command’s instructions and remain in protected shelters,” he emphasized.
