Hacked Tehran Traffic Cameras Fed Israeli Intelligence Before Strike On Khamenei

Israeli intelligence meticulously mapped Tehran's daily life years before a planned attack. This involved hacking nearly all traffic cameras, encrypting footage, and transmitting it to Israeli servers for analysis. Data from these cameras, combined with other intelligence, built comprehensive profiles and identified high-value targets. This surveillance aided in creating detailed "patterns of life" for key Iranian officials. US intelligence confirmed a high-level meeting at Khamenei's compound, providing a critical "green light." Israeli aircraft launched a daylight strike, employing precision munitions for tactical surprise. The assassination was a strategic decision reflecting technological advancements. Israel had been focused on Iran since a 2001 directive from Ariel Sharon. These advancements include automated systems analyzing vast amounts of data. The operation highlights the modern, automated approach to target selection.
