Israeli military chief reveals covert ground commando operations deep inside Iran

DDM News

Israel’s military chief has disclosed that Israeli ground commandos operated secretly inside Iran during the recent 12-day conflict between the two nations.

Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir made the revelation on Wednesday, highlighting the role of covert ground operations in achieving Israel’s military objectives.

Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) reports that this marks one of the most daring acknowledgements of Israeli military activity inside Iranian territory.

Zamir said the commando units worked alongside the Israeli Air Force in executing a complex deception strategy.

“These achievements were made possible, among other things, by the integration and deception carried out by air forces and ground commando units,” he stated.

He added that the units “operated covertly in the enemy’s depth and granted us operational freedom of action.”

The military operations, according to Zamir, played a vital role in helping Israel gain temporary control of Iranian airspace.

These covert missions were part of a broader military strategy that reportedly delivered a “systemic” blow to Iran’s nuclear program.

As previously reported by DDM, Israeli officials believe the conflict has set Iran’s nuclear development back by several years.

The disclosure of ground operations inside Iran signals a significant escalation in Israel’s military doctrine and its willingness to engage in high-risk tactics.

Such missions would have required meticulous planning, intelligence gathering, and coordination between various branches of the Israeli military.

Defense analysts say this is likely the first public admission of Israeli troops operating deep within Iranian borders during an active conflict.

It underscores the depth of Israel’s strategic efforts to disrupt Iran’s military and nuclear capabilities.

The use of deception tactics, in particular, suggests that Israel intended to create confusion within Iran’s defense systems while executing precise objectives.

Iran has yet to publicly acknowledge the presence of Israeli forces on its soil during the conflict.

The revelation is expected to provoke further tensions, especially as ceasefire terms between the two countries remain fragile and undefined.

DDM will continue to monitor responses from Iranian authorities and international observers regarding this bold military admission.

This development may also influence global diplomatic and security calculations, as it highlights the extent to which both nations are willing to act beyond traditional warfare boundaries.
