In a significant revelation, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir disclosed that Israeli special operations units were actively engaged in covert missions on Iranian soil during the recent 12 Day War with Iran.
This marks the first official confirmation of such operations, highlighting the strategic depth of Israel's military endeavors in the conflict.
As reported by Breitbart, Lt. Gen. Zamir elaborated on the operations, noting that ground commando units, in conjunction with Mossad operatives, were instrumental in executing these covert missions. The IDF's approach was multifaceted, encompassing intelligence, cyber-warfare, naval forces, and ground troops, although the latter's involvement remained undisclosed during the conflict. The Air Force, however, was the most visible aspect of Israel's military strategy.
Lt. Gen. Zamir emphasized the substantial impact of the campaign on Iran's nuclear ambitions, describing the damage as "not a pinpoint strike but a systemic blow." He cited Military Intelligence assessments, stating, "Irans nuclear program suffered severe, widespread and deep damage, setting it back by years. We will not allow Iran to develop weapons of mass destruction."
This statement underscores Israel's unwavering commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear capabilities, a stance that aligns with conservative values of national security and defense.
The conflict also saw tragic losses, with seven Israeli soldiers losing their lives in Gaza. They were killed when a Hamas terrorist successfully attached a bomb to their armored personnel carrier, a somber reminder of the ongoing threats faced by Israeli forces.
Joel B. Pollak, Senior Editor-at-Large at Breitbart News, provides further insights into these developments. Pollak, a prominent conservative voice, is known for his work on President Donald Trump's administration, including his books "Trump 2.0: The Most Dramatic First 100 Days in Presidential History" and "The Trumpian Virtues: The Lessons and Legacy of Donald Trumps Presidency."
His analysis often reflects a conservative perspective, emphasizing the importance of strong leadership and decisive action in matters of national security.
The revelations by Lt. Gen. Zamir not only shed light on the covert operations conducted by Israeli forces but also reinforce the broader geopolitical dynamics at play in the region. As Israel continues to navigate these complex challenges, its strategic decisions remain pivotal in shaping the future security landscape.
