New details have surfaced regarding the preparatory operations that facilitated Israel's strike against Iran. Israeli military and intelligence forces collaborated extensively over multiple years, developing comprehensive intelligence dossiers necessary for executing the preemptive Israeli assault during Operation Rising Lion.
This extensive preparation involved gathering detailed intelligence and conducting surveillance operations targeting senior Iranian security apparatus officials and nuclear scientists who were subsequently eliminated. These efforts ran parallel to a clandestine operational campaign aimed at undermining Iran's strategic missile capabilities.

Throughout this comprehensive framework, Mossad orchestrated intelligence-operational and technological collaboration with IDF units and defense contractors, executing multiple covert sabotage missions deep within Iranian territory, alongside widespread Israeli Air Force operations.
These coordinated operations specifically targeted Iran's strategic missile infrastructure and air defense networks. The institutional strategy required extended planning periods, demanding audacious and sophisticated coordination combined with innovative strategic thinking and operational deception.
Every mission necessitated meticulous research and precision intelligence collection, cutting-edge technologies, and extensive commando force deployment operating clandestinely throughout Tehran and across Iran while evading Iranian security and intelligence surveillance.
Initially, Mossad commando units operated throughout central Iran, deploying precision-guided weapons systems in strategic open areas near Iranian surface-to-air missile installations.
Through their operational activities, Mossad operatives successfully introduced specialized combat systems on an extensive scale, strategically positioning them across Iranian territory and directing them toward designated targets with exceptional precision and effectiveness.
Notably, this operation encompassed three distinct and sophisticated institutional operational frameworks. Initially, Mossad commando units operated throughout central Iran, deploying precision-guided weapons systems in strategic open areas near Iranian surface-to-air missile installations. Upon commencement of Israeli operations, coordinated with Israeli Air Force strikes across Iran, these systems received guidance and activation signals, launching precision missiles simultaneously toward designated targets with remarkable accuracy.

Through a secondary operational phase designed to neutralize Iranian air defense systems threatening Israeli aircraft, Mossad executed clandestine operations deploying attack systems and advanced technologies mounted on mobile platforms. As the surprise offensive commenced, these weapons systems engaged and completely eliminated their designated targets – Iranian defensive installations.

The third operational phase involved Mossad establishing explosive drone facilities infiltrated deep into Iranian territory well before the attack through agent networks. During Israeli operations, these explosive drones activated and targeted surface-to-surface missile launchers positioned at Esfejabad base near Tehran, which represented significant threats to Israeli strategic and civilian infrastructure.
