A senior Israeli official said that Israel opened the skies, provided intelligence, eliminated senior figures, and destroyed missile depots and factories in a strike in Iran, according to an anonymous official cited by a single source. The official added that if further action is needed, Israel can act independently.
A senior Israeli official claimed in a statement circulated Wednesday evening that Israel was the force that 'opened the skies, provided intelligence, eliminated senior figures, and destroyed missile depots and factories' in the reported strike in Iran. The official added that Israel could act alone if necessary. The statement comes amid a series of related background developments — as The Zioneer has previously reported, a Mossad official recently described Israel as more prepared than ever, a former Shin Bet senior official assessed that willingness to use force is the key variable, and earlier reports indicated a US green light for Israel to strike Iranian targets. The current statement follows those reports but adds no specific timing or operational detail about the strike itself, and remains a single anonymous-source attribution.
