An Israeli journalist says Military Intelligence gathered dramatic intelligence in recent days on the hideout of Ali Larijani, who went underground at the start of the campaign and was rarely seen in public.
A rare window opened yesterday when Larijani was located in the apartment near Tehran, on the outskirts of the city. Military Intelligence cross checked the information and confirmed the target was inside.
The political leadership approved the elimination soon after. The Air Force commander and the head of Military Intelligence then ran the operation from the command bunker.
At 1:50 am, Israeli fighter jets reached the building and dropped precision bombs that hit the apartment directly. Additional bombs penetrated inside, and the senior Iranian figure was eliminated.
Security officials say there had been earlier attempts to eliminate Larijani, including in the opening strike of the war. Only now, about two and a half weeks into the war, did it succeed.
The report says the elimination was 100% Israeli, with no American help or involvement.
