Israel Slyly Assembled Iran's Air Force Commanders For A Meeting Before The Strike

And knew how to keep them there.

Israeli intelligence services managed to lure high-ranking commanders of Iran's air force to a meeting before they were struck.

This was reported by Fox News, citing an Israeli security official.

"We carried out a series of targeted actions that helped us get to know them better, and then used that information to influence their behavior," the source told the publication.

He said Israel deliberately facilitated the Iranian officers to gather in one place - and knew how to keep them there.

The spokesman also said the operation was more successful than expected. According to the source, Israeli forces struck air defense systems and ballistic missiles that were intended for use against Israel.

On the night of June 13, Israel launched massive airstrikes against Iran's nuclear infrastructure, attacking about 100 sites. The country's main uranium enrichment facility in the city of Natanz was damaged. Explosions were also heard in Tehran.

Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu announced the launch of a large-scale military operation People Like a Lion, the targets were Iran's nuclear infrastructure, ballistic missile production facilities and other military installations.

The strikes are known to have killed at least three senior Iranian officials as well as a number of nuclear physicists.

Iran's armed forces and supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei threatened Israel and the US with a "harsh response" for the overnight strikes. Iran has already launched about 100 drones at Israel.
