An Israeli security official conveyed to Fox News that Israel successfully deceived senior commanders of Iran’s air force into convening for a meeting.
“We conducted targeted activities to enhance our understanding of their operations and subsequently utilized that intelligence to influence their actions,” stated the official.
“We anticipated that this would encourage their meeting—more importantly, we were aware of how to ensure their prolonged attendance.”
The official further remarked that the outcomes of the strikes exceeded Israel’s initial expectations. According to the source, various air defense systems and ballistic missiles designated for potential use against Israel were preemptively targeted.
