Mossad Reveals Details Of Its Covert Operations In Iran; Secret Gaza Plan In Final Stage
While the U.S. response to the proposal has not been made public yet, acceptance of the plan would be a significant strategic win for Israel. Reducing the Palestinian population in Gaza would, from Israel's perspective, diminish the chances of Hamas regrouping, thereby enhancing long-term security. In today's DNA, Rahul Sinha, Managing Editor, of Zee News, analysed the details of Mossad's plan.

Mossad's Daring Operations Inside Iran
In a parallel development, Mossad revealed new information to the media about its covert operations inside Iran during the Israel-Iran conflict from June 13 to June 19. These operations, according to Israeli intelligence reports, unfolded like a high-stakes spy thriller.
The operations began as Mossad identified and eliminated top Iranian military commanders, targeting the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which was allegedly planning attacks on Israeli and American interests in the Middle East. Mossad's first major target was IRGC Commander Hussein Salami.
Barnea's agency had already turned one of Salami's close associates into a Mossad agent a year earlier. This agent fed Salami disinformation that an Israeli airstrike was imminent on his residence. The agent then directed Salami to a supposed safehouse, which was subsequently hit by an Israeli missile, killing him.
Understanding that weakening the IRGC leadership would demoralize the Iranian military, Mossad proceeded with a second mission—this time targeting another IRGC General, Amir Ali Hajizadeh. Mossad allegedly used deepfake voice technology to mimic a senior Iranian leader and lured Hajizadeh to a small military base outside Tehran for a meeting. Once he and his officers arrived, the Israeli Air Force launched a missile strike, eliminating the group.
Mossad's goal during the missile exchanges between Israel and Iran was to cripple Iranian intelligence and military morale, preventing any substantial retaliatory operations. The third key figure eliminated was Ali Shadmani, who had taken charge of Iran's war council following Salami's death.
In Shadmani's case, Mossad utilized cutting-edge AI and surveillance technology. Mossad's elite Unit 8200 built a physical and behavioral model of Shadmani using his DNA samples, while their tech unit hacked Tehran's CCTV systems to pinpoint his exact location. Shadmani was eventually taken out by a drone strike, precisely executed based on live surveillance data.
Aftermath and Continuing Fear in Iran
Even though over a month has passed since the ceasefire, the impact of Mossad's operations continues to reverberate. Iranian authorities are still conducting arrests and crackdowns on suspected Mossad agents, signaling deep infiltration. Iranian officials reportedly believe that Mossad has established influence across every layer of Iran's intelligence and military apparatus.

Israel Eyes Full Gaza Occupation Amid Ceasefire Collapse, Hostage Deadlock: Report
Last Updated: As Israeli troops are already occupying 75 per cent of the area, the new orders call for the seizure of the remaining pockets, including areas where hostages are held Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly instructed the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) to take full control of the Gaza Strip in a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict, according to reports. The directive is seen as a move to intensify pressure on Hamas to secure the release of Israeli hostages still held inside the enclave. With Israeli troops already occupying about 75 per cent of the territory, the new orders call for the seizure of the remaining pockets, including areas where hostages are believed to be held. The Jerusalem Post reported that Netanyahu's office delivered the directive directly to IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, with an ultimatum: implement the order or resign. The push for full military control of Gaza comes amid a complete breakdown in ceasefire talks and rising frustration within Israel's leadership over the ongoing captivity of hostages held by Hamas since the start of the conflict. Notably, Netanyahu's reported directive to occupy the remainder of the Gaza Strip signals a dramatic escalation in the war effort. According to The Times of Israel, several ministers have confirmed that Netanyahu has privately used the term 'occupation of the Strip" — marking a stark shift from the government's earlier resistance to re-entering the enclave's densely populated areas. The Israeli Security Cabinet is expected to convene on Tuesday to formalise the next phase of operations in Gaza, as pressure builds both from within the military ranks and from a public increasingly distressed by the plight of hostages and the absence of a resolution. Hamas Releases Hostage Video The development follows the release of disturbing videos by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, showing two Israeli hostages — Rom Braslavski and Evyatar David — in visible distress. In the footage, Braslavski says he can no longer walk due to injuries, while David is seen digging what he calls his own grave, stating he has gone days without food. 'When I see these, I understand exactly what Hamas wants," Netanyahu said in a televised address on Sunday. 'They do not want a deal. They want to break us using these videos of horror." Meanwhile, reports from Israeli Army Radio suggest growing tensions within the military leadership. Chief of Staff Zamir is said to be frustrated with the lack of long-term strategy from the political leadership, expressing concern over a potential war of attrition with Hamas. Public discontent also surged over the weekend, as tens of thousands of Israelis rallied on Saturday night calling for an immediate ceasefire and a deal to bring the hostages home. The mass protest, one of the largest in recent weeks, was driven by the harrowing hostage footage circulating online. Netanyahu also met with officials from the International Committee of the Red Cross, urging them to push for humanitarian access to the hostages — a request that Hamas has consistently denied throughout the conflict. Humanitarian Crisis Deepens As military operations intensify, the humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate. The United Nations estimates that nearly 1,400 Palestinians have died since May while attempting to access aid, many near distribution sites operated by an American contractor with Israeli backing. While the IDF denies deliberately targeting civilians, it acknowledges using warning fire to control crowds near aid trucks. From March to May, Israel enforced a full blockade on Gaza, halting all deliveries of food, medicine, and humanitarian supplies. Although restrictions have since eased slightly under international pressure, conditions remain dire for the enclave's estimated two million residents.

‘Illegal and unprecedented': Israel fires attorney general; Supreme Court halts move
Benjamin Netanyahu (ANI) Israel's government plunged deeper into political crisis on Monday after the cabinet unanimously voted to dismiss Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara, a move immediately blocked by the country's Supreme Court. The court issued an injunction suspending the decision pending legal review, preventing any replacement from being appointed in the meantime. Justice Minister Yariv Levin formally notified Baharav-Miara of the cabinet's decision, saying she 'should not try to impose herself on a government that has no trust in her.' Baharav-Miara, a central figure in multiple legal battles involving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu 's administration, has frequently challenged the legality of key decisions, including Netanyahu's May attempt to sack the head of the Shin Bet security agency, Ronen Bar. That move was widely seen as retaliation for Bar's role in an ongoing investigation into alleged illicit Qatari payments to Netanyahu's aides—a case dubbed 'Qatargate' in Israeli media. Netanyahu and his allies accuse the attorney general of overstepping her role and obstructing elected officials, while critics argue that her removal represents a dangerous attack on judicial independence. Following the dismissal, opposition party Yesh Atid and several watchdog organisations filed emergency petitions with the High Court. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like When Knee Pain Hits, Start Eating These Foods, and Feel Your Pain Go Away (It's Genius) Click Here Undo The Movement for Quality Government, a leading civil group, described the firing as 'illegal' and 'unprecedented,' accusing the government of changing the rules after failing to remove Baharav-Miara through legal means. 'This decision turns the role of the attorney general into a political appointment,' it said. The court has scheduled hearings over the next 30 days to consider the legality of the move. The attorney general has argued that Netanyahu's ongoing corruption trial creates a conflict of interest that bars him from removing her. The high-stakes confrontation comes as Netanyahu faces increasing domestic and international pressure over the war in Gaza. He vowed on Monday to update Israel's war strategy, with reports suggesting a plan to reoccupy all of Gaza may be in the works. Meanwhile, criticism continues to mount over the government's handling of the hostage crisis and aid restrictions in the Palestinian territory.

Ukraine raises alarm over Indian-made components found in Russian drones, flags issue with MEA: Report
Ukraine has formally raised concerns with India and the European Union after Indian-made or assembled electronic parts were reportedly found in Iranian drones used by Russia in the Ukraine war, report says. read more Prime Minister Narendra Modi with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a meeting, at Mariinskyi Palace in Kyiv, Ukraine in August 2024. File image/PTI Ukraine has formally raised concerns with the Indian government and the European Union over electronic components manufactured or assembled in India that were found in Iranian-designed drones used by Russian forces in the Ukraine war, Hindustan Times reported, citing sources. According to officials familiar with the matter, Ukraine approached India's Ministry of External Affairs through diplomatic channels on at least two occasions since last year, after Indian-origin components were discovered in Shahed-136 combat drones used by Russia. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The issue was also brought up with EU sanctions envoy David O'Sullivan during his visit to New Delhi in July. O'Sullivan was in India to brief officials on the EU's latest sanctions package, which included action against Russian-linked entities, including the Vadinar refinery. Ukrainian investigations reportedly identified components from two firms, Vishay Intertechnology and Aura Semiconductor, in the drones. A bridge rectifier made by Vishay, assembled in India, was found in the voltage regulation system, while a chip produced by Bengaluru-based Aura Semiconductor was used in the satellite navigation antenna. Officials clarified that the companies have not violated any Indian laws, as the components are classified as dual-use items, technologies that can serve both civilian and military purposes. Responding to the development, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India's export of dual-use items adheres to international non-proliferation norms and is governed by a robust domestic legal framework. 'Due diligence is conducted to ensure such exports do not violate any of our laws,' he said. While the Ukrainian embassy in New Delhi has not issued an official statement, Ukraine's Defence Intelligence Directorate (HUR) has publicly reported the presence of Indian-origin parts in Shahed drones on its official Facebook and Telegram channels. Vishay Intertechnology, a US-based electronics manufacturer, did not respond to requests for comment. Meanwhile, Kishore Ganti, co-founder of Aura Semiconductor, said the company fully complies with all national and international export control laws and strongly opposes any unauthorised use of its products. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'We are deeply disturbed by the possibility that any of our components may have reached defence manufacturers through unauthorised third-party channels, in violation of our compliance policies and distribution agreements. We are committed to investigating and addressing any compliance gaps,' Aura said in a statement.
