—The use of infiltrated personnel—spies and saboteurs—at the outset of conflicts is a tactic that dates back thousands of years. Although inherently risky, it can be highly effective when executed properly and without raising suspicion. A recent example of this tactic was seen in the early days of the war in Ukraine, when infiltrators operated at key airports near Kyiv—primary targets of Russian forces. These agents played a crucial role by providing valuable intelligence, including the locations of air defense systems that had been installed just days before hostilities began, while Russia was still claiming that its troop movements were merely joint training exercises with Belarus.

In the most recent case involving Iran and Israel, the effectiveness of this tactic has once again been demonstrated. Saboteurs played a critical role in the Israeli strikes carried out yesterday and today, targeting air defense systems, airports, military bases, and nuclear facilities. No public information has emerged about the extraction of these agents, and it is likely that such details will remain classified. However, given that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have released footage of the operations, it is reasonable to assume that the saboteurs have already been evacuated, especially since reports indicate that a large-scale manhunt for infiltrators has been launched within Iranian territory following the videos’ release.
