WATCH: Stunning Footage Shows Mossad’s Covert Strike on Iran’s Air Defense System

In a stunning revelation this morning (Friday), an Israeli security source disclosed dramatic new details about the covert Israeli operation that targeted Iran’s most sensitive military infrastructure earlier this year. The mission, codenamed “Am KeLavi” (Hebrew for “Lion’s Might”), and dubbed in English “Rising Lion”, was the result of years of meticulous planning and seamless coordination between the Israel Defense Forces, the Mossad, and Israel’s cutting-edge defense industries.

According to the source, the multi-pronged offensive marked a turning point in Israel’s shadow war against Iran’s nuclear ambitions and missile programs. At the heart of the campaign was a sophisticated fusion of intelligence gathering, technological innovation, and surgical strikes deep within Iranian territory. Over the course of several years, Mossad and the IDF compiled granular dossiers on Iranian nuclear scientists and defense officials, paving the way for precision assassinations and sabotage efforts that culminated in a devastating strike on Iranian military assets.

The operation unfolded in three coordinated stages, each reflecting the depth and audacity of Israel’s covert reach inside the Islamic Republic:

1. Commando Units Embedded in Iran Special Mossad operatives, embedded deep within Iranian territory, covertly installed precision-guided weapons systems near critical surface-to-air missile batteries. These systems, lying dormant for months, were remotely activated during the Israeli Air Force’s aerial assault, enabling synchronized precision strikes on high-value targets.

2. Civilian Vehicle Strike Platforms To bypass Iran’s dense air defense network, Mossad operatives ingeniously concealed weapons systems within civilian vehicles across the country. When the green light was given, these mobile launchers unleashed devastating firepower, crippling key components of Iran’s anti-aircraft defenses and clearing a path for aerial operations.

3. Underground Drone Launch Sites In a bold act of strategic deception, Mossad had smuggled explosive-laden drones into Iran well in advance and secretly established operational bases near Tehran. During the operation, these drones were launched at the Esfajabad missile base—one of Iran’s most heavily fortified ballistic missile sites—destroying launchers poised to strike Israeli targets.

“This mission required bold and sophisticated planning, groundbreaking strategic thinking, and intricate deception,” the senior source stated. “Through accurate intelligence, unmatched technological prowess, and the courage of our operatives on the ground, we have dealt a painful blow to Iran’s strategic capabilities and made it unmistakably clear: Israel will not permit its enemies to pursue weapons of mass destruction.”
