Israeli spies introduced missiles and hid Kamikaze drones on Iran, in a series of secret operations that prepared the ground for the massive Friday attack, the New York Post reports.

Mossad agents, the main spy agency of Israel, began to infiltrate the depth of Iran a few months ago to perform the surprise attack with Iranian nuclear and military installations, as well as high-ranking commanders.
The spy agency placed explosive drones in Iran before the attack, thus preparing the land for major attacks that would follow, according to sources in the field of Israeli security.
The spies of Mossad also managed to introduce precision weapons in the center of Iran, so that Israel can hit Tehran's anti-aircraft defense systems.
The campaign called the “Lion Rising” operation was launched on Friday and consisted of three separate operations – air attacks on Iran's specific armament and defense systems, a source of Israeli security for New York Post said.
Commando units have carried out precision guided weapons near the Iran's ground-air missile defense system.
In a second operation, vehicle technology was installed, after which Iranian air defense systems were launched.
The final operation targeted the Iran's ground rocket launchers at a base from outside the Tehran, and the drones loaded with explosive were activated.
Unmanned aircraft vehicles flew to the base and destroyed launchers who “represented a threat to Israeli strategic and civil targets.”
Sabotage operations have allowed Israeli air attacks to destroy radars and other ground-air defense systems. After that, in the actual attack, nuclear power plants and uranium enrichment installations were targeted.
About 200 aircraft were involved in the initial attack on about 100 targets, said the Israeli army.
Israel hit several locations, including the main uranium enrichment facility in Iran, from Natanz, where satellite images showed damage to the surface power plant. Later in the morning, Israel said he had also destroyed dozens of radar installations and ground-to-air missile launchers in western Iran.
Several high -ranking Iranian officials were killed in bombings – including General Hossein Salami, the head of the Iranian revolutionary guard; Mohammad Bagheri, head of the country's army; Gholam Ali Rashid, the head of Iran's Emergency Command; And Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of the aerospace force of the Guardian of the Revolution.

Israel has managed to deceive a number of high -ranking commanders of Iranian air forces to gather in the same place, an Israeli official for Fox News said.
“We have carried out specific activities to help us find out more about them and then used this information to influence their behavior,” said the official.
“I knew that this would cause them to meet – but more importantly, I knew how to keep them there.”
It was not immediately clear how Israel managed to attract Iranian officials.
“Significant information has been collected and supervision has been carried out to punish high -ranking members of the Iranian defense system and nuclear scientists that were eliminated,” a source for The Post said.
“This was carried out in parallel with a secret operational campaign that targeted the strategic missile network.”

Unprecedented attacks seem to be the most significant Iran faced from the war with Iraq of the 1980s.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the operation, motivating an effort was to “counteract” the threat of Iran on the “survival” of Israel.
“If we do not act now, we will simply not be here. We have internalized the lessons of history. When an enemy says he intends to destroy you-believe it,” he said.
“When the enemy develops the ability to destroy you-stop it.”
Iran cataloged the wave of attacks of Israel a “declaration of war”, while the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamena, warned of a “severe punishment”, and the president of Masoud Pezeshkian promised that he would make “Israel regret its unprecedented act.”
