Israel's Channel 12 reported on Friday that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the head of the Mossad close to him, Roman Gofman, requested to carry out an operation inside Iranian territory on the eve of the Israeli elections held on October 27. The report, reviewed in the "Times of Israel", stated that the operation did not receive the support of senior officials in the Israeli security system, who expressed concerns that it would lead to a major escalation that could prevent the elections from being held on the scheduled date. The channel added that a mistake made by one of the Israeli security personnel brought the details of the operation to the attention of the United States, which caused Washington to move quickly to thwart the plan.
