On the evening of Thursday, December 3, a 45-year-old Israeli man named Fahmi Hinavi was shot dead while driving his car south-east of Tel Aviv:…
15 bullets were allegedly fired by assailants who then evaporated as easily as possible into thin air, without leaving a trace: for an entity whose secret services claim, in the wake of the terrorist attack of November 27 and the targeted assassination of the Iranian chief nuclear physicist Fakhrizadeh, to have made Iran “a playground”, and whose leader Yossi Cohen goes so far as to suggest that it is far from being the last blow”, this is rather limited. On Wednesday, Israeli news agencies announced the upcoming departure of Cohen, one of the architects of the “Abraham Accords” and the head of special operations against Iranian nuclear weapons, and his replacement by a certain “D” whose identity is deliberately killed: is Mossad already panicking after learning information about possible infiltration of Iranian secret services in occupied territories? Possibly.
The fate of Hinavi, whom some sources say is the operational head of the Israeli Mossad, or even the man who ordered the murder of Fakhrizadeh, would be at the origin of the assassination of an Iranian nuclear scientist a few years ago has not been mentioned by the Israeli media, which have not dared to talk about it for fear of having to admit that in addition to the “ballistic threat” Israel will now have to face “Iranian liquidations” on Zionist soil. But at the pace of cyber-attacks targeting the entity and its vital sectors, cyber-attacks that have recently targeted the insurance sector against the backdrop of the leak of thousands of files on the identity of hundreds of Zionist officials, soldiers and executives, nothing can be ruled out now.
Quoted by Rai al Youm, a former Mossad official admitted on Wednesday that the Zionist entity had received “painful blows from Iran”, but that “the public opinion was not aware of it”. Does the change at the head of Mossad respond to this new situation? The website of the daily Rai Al-Youm reported that the channel 13 of the Israeli television broadcasted on Tuesday evening a documentary on the assassinations carried out by the Israeli spy service, Mossad during the last decades, even going so far as to broadcast a “reproduction of the assassin of the late Fakhrizadeh, which according to experts constitutes a confession but also a flight forward.
The producer, Alon Ben David, who is also an analyst of military affairs, emphasizes that Israel has not claimed responsibility for this attack on Fakhrizadeh as to mark a withdrawal. Ram Ben-Barak, former deputy chief of Mossad, declared: “The Iranians are very intelligent and assiduous. They have a lot of intelligence, practice, experience, and operations implementation. And they have in the past dealt blows to Israel without the Israelis’ knowledge. However, this Israeli official did not mention the role of the Israeli military censor, who prevents the dissemination of such information. Experts believe that there is a deafening fear of Iran that is growing in the deepest layers of the Israeli intelligence apparatus, which could never have killed Fakhrizadeh without direct support from the United States and its Western and other allies. Questioned about Iran’s response to the assassination of its scientist, the former Mossad official asserts that it is not unlikely that Tehran would take revenge on Israel: it could do so outside Israel but also inside”.
“Iran is in a position to conduct operations inside Israel, but this has not happened so far,” says the former Mossad official, who seems to want to push away a perfectly terrifying prospect for the Tel Aviv regime.
Rai al-Youm added: “The film called “Assassination Centered in Iran” also includes interviews with senior officials of the Mossad security services and the Israeli Internal Security Service, (Shabak) and boasts of the assassinations of Abu Jihad in Tunisia and Yahya Ayache in Gaza. To the question whether Tel Aviv is ready to pay its agents everything it has to carry out the espionage missions entrusted to them, the former head of the Mossad’s information gathering division, Tomir Haim, refrained from answering, obviously afraid of losing local relays. The documentary has just been released even though Iranian sources have claimed to have gotten their hands on the “local Mossad agents” who helped him commit the November 27th attack, the complexity of which shows just how solid Iranian security is.
“Israel is using foreign mercenaries, the documentary says, to conduct a number of operations abroad, but it relies on Israeli agents to ensure the success of the operation.” That’s a significant sentence; arrested persons would be likely to provide very embarrassing information to Tehran, which is eager to avenge the blood of its nuclear scientist, says Rai al-Yum.
And the site concludes: “Despite its many boasts, the film bears the imprint of a terrible fear. It shows that the Tel Aviv regime unofficially admits the Iranian account of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh’s murder and confirms that the assassination of the most important man in Iran’s nuclear program was carried out by very sophisticated technological means and that the team of this abject action had carried out the operation after having obtained his departure. Even Yossi Cohen is on the point of departure. Since the operation was carried out by means of a remote control, even the owner of the car on which the machine gun that fired the deadly bullets was parked would have left Iranian territory two days before the attack to ensure his safety. Even the moment of the film’s broadcast is not chosen at random and it refers to the Israeli attempt to dissuade Iran from its retaliation with a double message: to enlarge the Mossad, to confess the weakness of an Israel that militarily defeated, acts by assassination and other acts of sabotage”.
