Israel’s spy agency Mossad faces scrutiny after chief David Barnea confirmed an operative, codenamed “M.,” was killed during covert operations against Iran. The admission comes amid rising tensions following Iran’s claim it arrested four alleged Israeli spies, intensifying the shadow war between the two rivals. Reports suggest the agent died abroad during a sensitive mission, possibly linked to efforts to block Iran’s weapons capabilities. As the fragile truce frays, the revelation underscores escalating covert confrontations, with both sides signaling readiness for a deeper, more dangerous phase of conflict.
