Israeli officials released footage they said showed Mossad agents deep inside Iran assembling missiles and explosive drones aimed at targets near Tehran .

The Mossad , an abbreviation of the Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations in Hebrew , has scored many such victories in almost 80 years of undercover operations.

It earned a unique reputation for audacious espionage, technological innovation and ruthless violence.

Mossad set up and ran a diving resort on Sudan 's Red Sea coast as a cover for the clandestine transport of thousands of members of Ethiopia ’s Jewish community to Israel .

After a deadly attack by Palestinian extremists on Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics in 1972 , the Mossad led a campaign to disrupt the networks and groups responsible.
