An Israeli security official told Fox News that Israel was able to trick top commanders of Iran's air force into gathering for a meeting.
“We carried out specific activities to help us learn more about them, and then used that information to influence their behavior,” the official said, according to Fox News. “We knew this would lead them to meet — but more importantly, we knew how to keep them there.”
The official added that the strikes were more successful than Israel had anticipated. According to the source, air defense systems and ballistic missiles that were intended for use against Israel were preemptively targeted.
