Mossad

Dr. Ali Ahsanian, who previously worked for Iran’s Defense Ministry, was found dead in the city of Nice. Iranian sources claim it was a targeted killing carried out by Israel.

Khaled al-Aidi, a dual Ukrainian-Syrian citizen, was arrested in Lebanon by Hezbollah about six months ago on suspicion of helping Israel’s Mossad carry out assassinations of senior figures in the terror group. Now it has emerged that he took advantage of an Israeli strike three months ago in Dahieh and escaped.

Mossad chief Roman Gofman informed his deputy, A., that his term is ending after 22 years of service in the organization. Officials say the move is meant to give the new director room to shape his own senior leadership team.

New details have emerged about a plan to topple Iran's ayatollah regime: Israel and the United States prepared an outline under which thousands of Kurdish fighters from Iraq were supposed to cross into Iranian territory. As part of the preparations, the Mossad supplied the Kurds with weapons and ammunition confiscated from Hamas and Hezbollah.

At the ceremony marking the transition between Mossad chiefs, outgoing director David Barnea called for building on Israel’s recent gains against Iran and working to bring down the regime in Tehran. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised him, saying: "Dedi, great things were done on your watch."

Israel’s Supreme Court rejected petitions challenging Maj. Gen. Roman Gofman’s appointment as head of the Mossad. The majority of justices found no factual basis to cast doubt on his fitness for the role.

The advisory committee on senior appointments has once again approved Maj. Gen. Roman Gofman’s nomination as head of the Mossad, despite opposition from committee chair Justice Asher Grunis. The Prime Minister’s Office slammed the minority opinion and called for the petitions to be rejected.

Mohammed Dahlan, a former senior Fatah figure and onetime head of Gaza’s Preventive Security force, has been living in Abu Dhabi in recent years. Previous reports said Israel and the United States viewed him as a possible candidate for a central role in governing the Strip.

Guests at a Red Sea resort woke up one morning to find the staff gone. Years later, the astonishing truth was finally revealed.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he reviewed the affidavit submitted to the High Court by Brig. Gen. G., which supports Roman Gofman’s version of events at the center of the petition. Netanyahu said: "There are no words to describe the injustice done to Gofman."

According to the "Wall Street Journal," Mossad Director Dadi Barnea visited the United Arab Emirates at least twice to coordinate against the Iranian threat. Just yesterday, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, confirmed that Israel deployed "Iron Dome" systems and troops in the country to help counter Iranian attacks.

Mossad takes to social media, telling Hezbollah operatives: "The offer is ready and the picture is clear—contact us now." The aim: shake militants’ confidence and encourage the recruitment of collaborators.

Dedi Barnea responds to reports claiming the agency misled U.S. President Donald Trump into thinking Iran’s regime would collapse in the war’s opening days, and says Mossad operated in the heart of Tehran and delivered precise intelligence to the Israeli Air Force.

Israel’s Advisory Committee on Senior Appointments approved Maj. Gen. Roman Gofman to head the Mossad. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed the appointment; Gofman is slated to take office June 2, 2026, for a five-year term. Multiple reports say committee chair Asher Grunis dissented over a past case involving teen operative Ori Elmakias; the attorney general flagged a "legal difficulty," and petitions to the High Court are expected.

The New York Times reports that Mossad Director Dedi Barnea presented Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a plan to speed the collapse of Tehran's regime by mobilizing Iran's opposition within days of the campaign's start. So far, there has been no resurgence of protests across Iran.
