From the perspective of the videos, it appears the Mossad used drones from inside Iran to attack various targets.

Iran previously accused the Israeli security agency of using drones to attack the Karaj facility in June 2021, as well as other operations.

Although far more information has been publicized about the IDF's actions, these videos give readers a rare front seat into what normally are entirely clandestine operations that the Mossad does not even admit to.

Mossad's previous operations inside Iran

In recent years, the Mossad has managed a host of operations inside Iran.

It was involved in secret aspects of the April and October 2024 attacks by Israel.

It was also involved in seizing Iran's nuclear archives in 2018, a process that helped swing the IAEA in favor of Israel's highlighting the Islamic Republic's nuclear violations.

In a Wall Street Journal op-ed, former prime minister Naftali Bennett confirmed that the Mossad destroyed over 100 Iranian drones in February 2022.

Iran accused Israel of a similar operation in January 2023.

It also accused the Mossad of destroying two separate nuclear sites at Natanz in July 2020 and April 2021, as well as at Karaj in June 2021, and of killing its nuclear chief Mohsen Fakhrizadeh in November 2020.
