Israel macht Jagd auf Mitglieder des iranischen Regimes in ihren Verstecken, einen nach dem anderen

Early Tuesday morning, Israel’s intelligence services found Ali Larijani gathered with other officials at a hideout on the outskirts of Tehran and killed him with a missile strike.

That same night, Israel got a tip from ordinary Iranians that the leader of the feared Basij militia, Gholamreza Soleimani, was holing up with his deputies in a tent in a wooded area in Tehran. It was the sort of payoff Israel had been hoping for after blowing up Basij headquarters and command posts for more than two weeks, forcing its members to gather out in the open. Soleimani, too, was struck and killed.

Documents reviewed by the Journal show the strikes targeted everything from the Tharallah—the Revolutionary Guard unit responsible for protecting the capital—down to neighborhood police stations in Tehran. Israel aimed for sites where Israeli intelligence had determined regime personnel were present.

The targets then broadened. Israeli intelligence learned that Iran had a fallback plan for its internal security forces in the event their facilities were destroyed—mustering at local sports complexes.

Israel watched the sites fill up and then hit them before the end of the first week. Those strikes, according to battle-damage assessments seen by the Journal, were among the deadliest of the war, killing hundreds of members of the security services and military, the vast majority at Azadi Stadium, a large venue for soccer games. Security personnel pushed into Gandhi hospital in Tehran and forced patients to make room for their wounded, one doctor said.

The attacks hurt rank-and-file morale and drove some security forces to begin sleeping in their vehicles, mosques or other sports facilities, Israel’s assessment said. Israel has assessed that the air war is creating disrupting command and control and harming morale in the security forces. Iranians said they have seen security forces scramble for safe workspaces while hunted by Israeli jets and drones, taking over schools and sports facilities and civilian buildings.

Iran really needs to do a better job at hiding their commanders if they don’t want to lose this war.

Sinwar managed to hide from the IDF for over 1 year, and Gaza is 1000 times smaller then Iran and also had IDF troops surveying the area.

Here’s the issue- killing these people does nothing. It’s endless whack-a-mole with no impact on operations. Meanwhile what will the damage to Israel and the global economy be? Both aggressors need to leave Iran immediately and beg forgiveness. The alternatives are much worse for everyone
