Operation details
In an interview for a podcast produced by the British newspaper "The Times," Cohen said Israeli intelligence intervened directly to dismantle terror plans, resulting in the rescue of “a very large number of lives.” He also claimed Israel faced threats from nuclear scientists in Iran, prompting decisive action.
