Now that the Biden Administration is essentially missing in action, Israel is left no choice but to be vigilant beyond its normal level to protect itself from the jihadist regime in Iran.
Fakhrizadeh “was widely seen by Western intelligence as the mastermind of clandestine Iranian efforts to develop nuclear weapons.”
“Mossad assassinated Iran’s chief nuke scientist with remote AI gun – report,” by Yonah Jeremy Bob, Jerusalem Post, September 19, 2021:
Iran’s chief military nuclear scientist and the father of its weapons program, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, was assassinated in November 2020 by the Mossad using a remote-controlled artificial intelligence-operated sniper machine gun, The New York Times reported on Saturday.
From the start, there has been controversy about how Fakhrizadeh was killed, but The Jerusalem Post can now confirm the accuracy of the Times report regarding the remote-controlled gun.
When he was assassinated, multiple intelligence sources told the Post that the killing of Fakhrizadeh might be as significant a setback to Iran’s pursuit of a nuclear bomb as the destruction of its Natanz nuclear facility in July 2020.
According to the report, “Iranian agents working for the Mossad had parked a blue Nissan Zamyad pickup truck on the side of the road connecting the town of Absard to the main highway. The spot was on a slight elevation with a view of approaching vehicles. Hidden beneath tarpaulins and decoy construction material in the truck bed was a 7.62-mm sniper machine gun.”
“Around 1 p.m., the hit team received a signal that Mr. Fakhrizadeh, his wife and a team of armed guards in escort cars were about to leave for Absard, where many of Iran’s elite have second homes and vacation villas,” said the report.
Next, the report details how the sniper who took out Fakhrizadeh did so remotely from Israel, over 1,600 kilometers away, since the hit squad had long ago left Iran.
The gun which was used was a special model of a Belgian-made FN MAG machine gun attached to an advanced robotic apparatus.It was smuggled into the country in small pieces over several months because, taken together, all of its components would have weighed around a full ton.
One new detail in the report was that the explosives used to destroy evidence of the remote-gun partially failed, leaving enough of the gun intact for the Iranians to figure out what had happened.
Many of the above details were published by The Jewish Chronicle in a report in February, following contradictory reports in Iran, Israel and globally in November and December 2020 about whether a remote gun or a physical team was used.
At the time of the assassination, most senior Israeli defense and intelligence media analysts leaned heavily toward the physical team theory, viewing the remote-gun scenario as disinformation to throw Iran off the tail of catching the physical team….

I don’t know, Emilie–this seemed to work a lot better than Wile E. Coyote’s gizmos usually did.

For all the rubes, jerks, ignoramuses, your standard anti-Semites, and a whole host of other deficient people in America who think Israel is a burden to the USA, think again, because right now Israel is not only covering its own back its covering America’s back too as long as the decrepit, craven and disgusting Biden Administration remains in power.
Long live Israel. It’s one of mankind’s best hopes in our era and one knows this or should know it. Have no respect for those who don’t. And, btw, for the record and all that, I am not Jewish, but one doesn’t have to be to realize how important the survival of Israel is to the overall survival of freedom here on planet Earth.
