Tel Aviv reportedly enlisted its agents to carry out covert operations to "sabotage" hundreds of Hamas rockets before they were fired from Gaza during the recent escalation of Israeli-Palestinian violence, reported The Mirror. A source cited:
"Israel probably has the most penetrative espionage capability in the world. Its intelligence community has pulled off some breathtaking operations deep inside enemy territory, including assassinating Iranian scientists. It is very likely a number of those rockets were intercepted and altered."Israel's national intelligence agency, Mossad, is claimed to have targeted the rockets, either as they were smuggled in parts from Iran to Gaza, or directly inside the Palestinian enclave itself, according to a senior Western intelligence source, cited by the outlet.
Israeli spies "spiked" hundreds of rockets by tampering with the guidance systems, motors, warheads or explosive material inside the missiles, alleged the report.
Accordingly, it was claimed that as many as 16 percent of the estimated over 4,000 launched by Hamas had misfired in Gaza or fell short of the Israeli border. The 680 misfires amid the 11-day cross-border missile exchange purportedly resulted in numerous civilian deaths in Gaza.













Comment: Israel's goal is a Palestinian purge of mammoth scale, a despicable postlude to an already costly human extermination campaign.
