Mossad Chief Reveals Operative Related to Iran Campaign Killed Abroad

Mossad Director David Barnea said during a Memorial Day ceremony that a Mossad operative played a key role in operations tied to Israel’s campaign against Iran.

Barnea said his “thoughts and heart were filled with pride” when reflecting on the operative, identified only as “M,” who was killed outside Israel while carrying out his mission.

He noted that the operations led by M combined “creativity, ingenuity, and cutting-edge technology,” and had “a significant impact on the success of the campaign against Iran.”

The remarks highlighted the role of covert operations and the contributions of intelligence personnel honored as part of Israel’s Memorial Day commemorations.

It later emerged that the operative fell several years ago, prior to Operation “Roaring Lion.”
