Israel used spies, smuggled drones and artificial intelligence to stun and hobble Iran .

The Israeli military unleashed a nighttime fusillade of warplanes and armed drones to quickly incapacitate many of its air defenses and missile systems.

The former head of research at Israel ’s spy agency, the Mossad , confirmed the contours of the attack.

Israel relied on spies to identify top nuclear scientists and members of Iran ’s Revolutionary Guard , an official says.

At least eight members of the Guard, including the head of its missile program, were killed in a single Israeli strike on an underground bunker.

The Mossad is believed to have carried out numerous covert attacks on the Iranian nuclear program over the years , including cyberattacks and the killing of Iranian nuclear scientists.
