Israeli television reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Mossad chief planned an unspecified operation against Iran on the eve of the Israeli election, which was ultimately thwarted after the United States accidentally tipped off Iranian interests.
According to the report, the operation was not backed by other senior officials in Israel’s security establishment, who harboured concerns that it could spark a major regional escalation and potentially lead to a postponement of the election itself.
The incident raises questions about coordination between Israeli and American intelligence agencies during a sensitive period for Israeli domestic politics and regional security tensions.
