A commander in the Nevatim Air Base, a target of Iran’s recent missile barrage, has been placed under security after a plot to assassinate him was foiled by Israel.
IRAN INTERNATIONAL -- An Israeli security source, speaking exclusively to Iran International on condition of anonymity, said: “That’s not a standard procedure for everyone, only those with a threat on them such as the chief of staff, the Air Force chief, but now they put security on him and his family as he was exposed.”
It was revealed that he was one of the targets of an Iran-backed cell of Azeri-Israelis, arrested last month after a years-long relationship with Iranian agents gathering intelligence on military sites, strategic targets, and key personnel.
“Usually these guys have a security assessment made on them, to also see how exposed the family is on the internet," explained the source, who works under strict security conditions.
