Israel successfully deceived Iranian air defense system before attack

Shortly before the Israeli attack on Iran began on Saturday, October 26, 2024, the Iranian air defense radar system was hacked and froze, leaving the Iranians unable to effectively defend themselves. The Israeli Air Force was able to penetrate Iranian airspace thanks to this malfunction, after first striking radar targets in Syria to blind Iranian air defenses.

The Israeli attacks that began were aimed precisely at blinding Iranian air defense forces in order to facilitate subsequent attacks on military installations and the production of fuel for missiles. Radars and air defense systems were hit first, opening the way for further attacks. Thus, the Israeli attack was well thought out and targeted, taking into account the weaknesses of the enemy defense system.

According to Iranian sources, Israel carried out a previously calculated plan to weaken Iranian air defenses, which allowed them to successfully attack targets inside Iran. The information received indicates a high degree of planning and coordination of forces in carrying out the operation.
