The newspaper wrote in an article on Monday that the regime’s “assessment on response to Damascus assassination was lacking and doubt effectiveness of forming official coalition.”
The Israeli daily admitted, “The Israeli intelligence community failed to predict the Iranian retaliation before assassinating IRGC general Mohammad Reza Zahedi in Damascus. The inaccurate intelligence assessment brought us closer than ever to a regional war. When considering the assassination, Israel's intelligence community, including Mossad, estimated that Iran would not overreact overtly or directly.”
The Zionist regime’s officials were of the opinion that the Islamic Republic would ask its allies in the region to inflict a harsh blow upon the regime.
Ynetnews added, “They (Israeli officials) anticipated a harsh response from proxy forces, such as Hezbollah and the Houthis, but without direct Iranian involvement. However, we experienced an unprecedented, direct Iranian attack on Israel. Mossad raised the issue about a month before the operation but was not aware that the operation would take place near the Iranian embassy in central Damascus.”
In response to a Sky News reporter who challenged the Israeli regime’s airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1, Head of the Israeli regime Isaac Herzog claimed, "It wasn't in the consulate - it was in a separate building nearby."
