The suspected Mossad agents were reportedly planning to launch suicide drones from the Afghan border against targets in eastern Iran.
Three suspected agents of Israel’s Mossad spy service have been arrested on the Iranian-Afghan border for attempting to carry out drone attacks, Iran’s IRNA state news agency reported on Sunday.
According to the outlet, three Iranian nationals identified as Mossad agents were captured in the mountainous areas between the two countries as a result of a joint operation by the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and the Taliban’s intelligence service.

The detainees were reportedly planning to launch suicide drones from the Afghan border against targets in eastern Iran. They are expected to be transferred to Iran for interrogation. No further details have been provided.
This comes a week after Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said Israel had “crossed the red lines,” referring to the situation in Gaza, where the Israeli army is “expanding ground operations” after days of relentless air and rocket attacks on civilian targets, including hospitals and refugee camps.
War on Gaza
Israel has, thus far, killed over 9,770 Palestinians in Gaza, including 4,800 children, and wounded more 25,000. Palestinian Ministry of Health reports and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
Despite a massive Israeli military buildup around the Gaza borders and sporadic infiltrations on the outskirts of the besieged Strip, Palestinian Resistance continues to repel Israeli attacks.

To justify its military failure, the Israeli army continues to pound civilian homes throughout the Gaza Strip with new massacres reported everywhere in the besieged enclave.
Gaza has been under a tight Israeli military siege since 2007, following a democratic election in occupied Palestine, the results of which were rejected by Tel Aviv and Washington.
