The top Iranian Air Force gathered to plan a missile attack on Israel and was eliminated during the meeting. - Mossad Commentary (not official account)
On the strikes against IRGC Air Force leadership: Israel tricked the top command of Iran’s air force into a meeting and then kept them there, I’m told by an Israeli security official. “We did specific activities to help us understand things about them and then used that information to make them act in a specific way,” the official said. “We knew this would make them meet, but more importantly we knew how to keep them there.” - Fox News - Trey Yingst Chief Foreign Correspondent (on ground in Israel) |
