The Iranian examples.

The world was astounded when beepers began exploding across Lebanon killing and maiming the top echelon of the Hezbollah terror regime. It turned out that Israel had set up an export company that delivered lethal communication equipment directly into the hands of their enemy agents which exploded when Israel paged them.
If that wasn’t enough how did Israel manage to install a bomb under the bed of Ismael Haniyeh, the top Hamas terrorist, on 31 July, 2024, causing him to go to sleep and never wake up deep in an Islamic regime stronghold in the Iranian capital, Tehran. Or drive a truck to a warehouse in an industrial area of the Iranian capital and make off with all the files of the Iranian nuclear program and transport them back to Israel.
Each one of these achievements are worthy of a movie but what the Israeli Mossad did recently surpasses even this is its futuristic audacity.
According to the Financial Times, Israel hacked into the Tehran traffic camera network in order to identify and follow the bodyguards of Ayatollah Khamenei and other top Iranian officials ahead of their successful assassination of the supreme leader. The basic principle behind the Israeli operation was to identify the bodyguards, and they will bring you to the target.
The Israeli Mossad coopted the regime’s own system and used it against them.
The newspaper claimed the Mossad gained access to the camera system years ago and by closely monitoring the system found one particular camera tilted at an angle that it showed where members of the Khamenei security team parked their vehicles.
Through this traffic system the Israeli Mossad patiently managed to build files on the security guards’ addresses, work schedules, and who they were assigned to protect.
One Israeli intelligence official supposedly told the Financia Times, “We knew Tehran like we know Jerusalem. And when you know a place like you know your own street you notice when a single thing is out of place.”
The bulk of the intelligence gathering was undertaken by the Israeli IDF’s 8200 unit. This massive data mining operation, using AI tools and algorithms it had developed to painstakingly sort through mountains of data it was amassing on Iran’ leadership and their movements helped track Khamenei to the meeting where he met his fate.
On the day of the attack Israel also disrupted the cellular system on Tehran’s Pasteur Street so that bodyguards and officials would receive busy signals while Khamenei was being prepared for the assassination attack.
Khamenei was killed, as were all those close to him, in an Israeli air strike where the Israeli Air Force knew he was present on the opening day of the war.
The New York Times wrote that the US and Israel were intending to open the war against Iran on a Friday night with the intention of hitting Tehran under cover of darkness, but the launch was delayed until Saturday because of the exceptional Israeli intelligence that enabled the elimination of the spiritual leader of the oppressive Iranian Islamic regime as a prelude to the collapse of the radical Islamic regime in Iran.
