An Israeli security source detailed three sophisticated operations executed by the Mossad in Iran, targeting the country’s air defense and missile systems as part of Operation "Like a Lion." These operations, conducted alongside Israeli Air Force strikes, aimed to neutralize threats to Israel’s strategic and civilian targets.
- Commando Deployment of Precision Munitions
- Mossad commando units covertly deployed precision-guided munitions systems in open areas near Iranian surface-to-air missile (SAM) sites in central Iran.
- At the onset of the Israeli attack, these systems were activated, launching missiles with pinpoint accuracy to destroy their targets simultaneously with Air Force strikes across Iran.
2. Vehicle-Mounted Attack Systems
- In a separate operation, the Mossad infiltrated advanced attack systems mounted on vehicles to neutralize Iran’s air defense capabilities, which posed a threat to Israeli fighter jets.
- During the surprise assault, these munitions were launched, obliterating Iranian air defense systems.

3. Explosive Drone Base Deep in Iran
- The Mossad established a clandestine base of explosive drones deep within Iran, infiltrated by agents well in advance of the attack.
- During the operation, these drones were activated and targeted ground-to-ground missile (SSM) launchers at the Espajabad base near Tehran, a significant threat to Israel’s strategic and civilian infrastructure.
These operations, meticulously planned over years with the IDF and defense industries, combined intelligence, deception, and technological breakthroughs to impair Iran’s air defenses and strategic missile capabilities.
