The head of Israel’s Mossad has praised the spy agency’s “groundbreaking” operations in the war against Iran and Hezbollah, saying it acquired intelligence “from the heart of the enemy’s secrets.”<\/p>\n
“In the campaigns against Iran and Hezbollah, we worked shoulder-to-shoulder with the IDF, on both defense and offense,” David Barnea said, referring to the Israeli military.<\/p>\n
His remarks were delivered during a commendation ceremony at Mossad headquarters on Monday and published Tuesday.<\/p>\n
“We acquired strategic and tactical intelligence from the heart of the enemy’s secrets,” Barnea said, adding that Mossad had “proved new, groundbreaking operational capabilities in target countries.”<\/p>\n
A ceasefire in the war with Iran, which began with joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Feb. 28, has so far held.<\/p>\n
Iranian-backed Hezbollah drew Lebanon into the war on March 2 by firing rockets at Israel in retaliation for the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in the initial U.S.-Israel strikes.<\/p>\n
President Trump announced a ceasefire on the Lebanese front earlier this month, which has since been extended, though Hezbollah and Israel have continued exchanging fire.<\/p>\n
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that Hezbollah’s rockets and drones remained a key threat that demanded ongoing action by the Israeli military, adding that Israel would continue to carry out strikes.<\/p>\n
Hezbollah has said it is responding to what it considers Israeli ceasefire violations.<\/p>\n
Barnea said the military and Mossad had changed Israel’s “strategic posture” and “strengthened its might,” but added that the agency would “not rest on our laurels.”<\/p>\n
“When we see a threat, we will act with full force,” he said.<\/p>\n
