Mossad Director David Barnea released a highly unusual public video on Wednesday, offering a glimpse into his address to agents who took part in the dramatic series of operations against Iran beginning on June 13—operations that, by all accounts, deeply destabilized the Iranian regime.
Addressing his operatives with a pointed message to Iran, Barnea declared, “We will [continue to] be there, like we have been there.”
Barnea described the scope of Mossad’s accomplishments as “unimaginable,” alluding to their reported involvement in eliminating senior Iranian military officials and nuclear scientists, and in demolishing facilities related to Iran’s nuclear program, drone manufacturing, and ballistic missile capabilities.
In a revelation that underscored the breadth of the operation, Barnea confirmed that at its peak, Mossad had embedded hundreds of agents inside Iran. Their success, he explained, was the result of extensive planning: “We worked for months and years to do all of the right actions to get to the right moment…We understood the fatefulness of the hour.”
Barnea expressed gratitude to other security and intelligence partners, thanking IDF Intelligence, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, and the CIA for their close collaboration during the mission.
Turning to the conflict with Hamas, Barnea reaffirmed Mossad’s commitment to rescuing every one of the remaining hostages held in Gaza. He noted that 50 people are still captive, with 20 known to be alive. Until recently, the status of two of the hostages had been unclear.
On Friday, Mossad released rare footage showing its joint role with the Israeli Air Force in carrying out a preemptive attack on Iran’s ballistic missile stockpiles and air defense systems. The three clips include strikes on missile infrastructure, anti-air installations, and preparations leading up to the mission—though all agents’ faces remain concealed.
The videos suggest that Mossad may have used drones launched from within Iran itself to hit selected targets.
Tehran has previously blamed Mossad for drone strikes, including a notable 2021 attack on the Karaj nuclear facility and other sensitive operations.
While the IDF’s actions in the war have received broader public coverage, these new videos offer an unprecedented window into the secretive world of Israeli intelligence—a domain where Mossad’s operations are usually hidden from view and rarely acknowledged at all.
