Precision and Secrecy: How Israel Allegedly Used Drones in a Strike on an Iranian Nuclear Scientist

Israel's intelligence community, particularly Mossad, has a fabled history of conducting sophisticated covert operations abroad. From abducting Adolf Eichmann in Argentina to sabotaging nuclear facilities in Syria and Iran, Mossad's operatives are known for meticulous planning, long-term infiltration, and reliance on high technology. These precedents set the stage for targeting Iranian nuclear scientists using drones, a method that fits Israel's risk-mitigation and deniability goals.
