Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, has reportedly carried out a covert cyber-intelligence operation targeting Iran, resulting in the elimination of 45 Iranian cyber officers.
According to Israeli media reports, the officers allegedly part of Tehran’s intelligence cyber units were neutralized in an unusual strike that took place while they were off-guard. Mossad has not released official details of the operation, but sources suggest it forms part of Israel’s broader strategy to disrupt Iran’s cyber warfare capabilities.
The incident comes amid heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, particularly in cyberspace, where both nations have engaged in repeated offensive and defensive operations. Analysts note that cyber warfare has become a critical front in Middle Eastern security dynamics, with both sides targeting infrastructure, intelligence networks, and communication systems.
Tehran has yet to confirm or deny the reported loss of its officers. Meanwhile, security experts caution that the development could escalate retaliatory actions, with potential spillover effects across the region’s already fragile stability.
