Mossad head Roman Gofman dismissed two senior officials in the Israeli intelligence organization, following the failure of the operational plan to overthrow the regime in Iran.
According to a report this evening (Thursday) by Yaron Avraham on Channel 12, the two are the head of the Mossad's intelligence directorate, who took office last December, and the head of the Iran arena.
According to security sources quoted in the article, there was no chemistry between the two and Gofman from the beginning of his tenure, but the end of their roles is not accidental.
According to the report, the two senior officials were involved in formulating the operational plan intended to bring about the overthrow of the Iranian regime, and were among its main leaders.
It was also claimed that the plan was presented to United States President Donald Trump, but ultimately did not come to fruition.
According to the report, although their termination was by mutual consent, the defense establishment also sees the move as an imposition of responsibility on the two for the failure of the plan.
A few weeks ago, it was reported that the Israeli Mossad had armed Kurdish militias with weapons confiscated during the war from the terrorist organizations Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The move to arm the militias was carried out as part of a broader plan designed to bring about the overthrow of the regime in Iran. As part of the assistance, the Kurdish militias received financial support, vehicles, and were armed with light weapons, anti-tank missiles, grenades, and mortar bombs.
The American CIA was also actively involved in the security plan to arm the Kurds. Despite the partnership between the intelligence organizations, the joint plan was not fully implemented and was ultimately canceled by President Trump, following heavy pressure from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
