Israel released footage of its air force striking Iranian ballistic missiles that it says were aimed at the Jewish state.

Prior to initiating Operation Rising Lion, Mossad established a drone base in Iran, as revealed by a senior Israeli security official. Once the Israeli offensive commenced, these drones were deployed and directed at surface-to-surface missile launchers, which, according to the official, posed a danger to Israeli civilians.

Furthermore, the official noted that a separate operation was conducted to undermine Iranian air defense systems that posed a threat to Israeli fighter jets. The Mossad covertly implemented strike systems that “completely obliterated” the targeted defense systems.

The official further mentioned that the Mossad succeeded in setting up a drone base within Iran, enabling attacks on surface-to-surface missile launchers during the operation. The launchers were considered a threat to Israeli civilians, according to the official.

Israel claims it has taken out the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Air Force commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh, as well as “the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Commander of the IRGC, and the Commander of Iran’s Emergency Command.” Additionally, Israel said it struck Iran’s largest uranium enrichment site.
