Israel attacked an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) base in Iran and assassinated a senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander, former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett revealed on Thursday. Bennett, who was Israeli prime minister from 13 June 2021 to 30 June 2022, made the admission in an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal. "After Iran launched two failed UAV attacks on Israel in February 2022, Israel destroyed a UAV base on Iranian soil. In March 2022, Iran’s terror unit attempted to kill Israeli tourists in Turkey and failed. Israel rarely admits publicly to attacking Iran directly, but the Islamic Republic has long been a target of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his several tenures in power.
