You Thought the Pager Attack Was Amazing? Israel Outdid Itself This Time
As more news trickles out about the Israeli air strikes on Iran's military leadership and nuclear capabilities, we are starting to get a glimpse into how much planning and effort went into preparations for this strike. And you have to admit, even if you are not a fan of Israel (I am), they are damn good at this war thing.

Everybody was blown away by the masterful planning and execution of Operation Grim Beeper--the decapitation strike against Hezbollah using Israeli-made beepers--but Operation Rising Lion takes things to a whole new level.
The attack was years in the making--not just in planning, but in execution well within Iran's borders.

Israel built a secret drone base in Iran over the years. Not months, but years. You can't make that up.
Israel spent years preparing for the operation against Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, a security official tells The Times of Israel, including building a drone base inside Iran and smuggling precision weapons systems and commandos into the country.
The effort hinged on tight joint planning between the IDF and the Mossad intelligence agency.
According to the official, Mossad agents set up a drone base on Iranian soil near Tehran. The drones were activated overnight, striking surface-to-surface missile launchers aimed at Israel.
In addition, vehicles carrying weapons systems were smuggled into Iran.
These systems took out Iran’s air defenses and gave Israeli planes air supremacy and freedom of action over Iran.
The third covert effort was Mossad commandos deploying precision missiles near anti-aircraft sites in central Iran.

Israel had to know exactly where to strike, when to strike simultaneously, and who was at any particular location at any given time. And they did--succeeding in taking out top IRGC leadership, key nuclear scientists, Iran's remaining air defense capabilities, and at least some of the country's drone production facilities.
