In an interview with BBC Persian's special correspondent Kasra Naji, the former deputy chief of the Israeli intelligence agency, Rami Igra, said that innovation, technology, and "very sophisticated guiding systems" played an important role in the killings of top commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
In its initial attack on 13 June, Israel killed top Iranian military figures including the Armed Forces Chief of Staff, the IRGC Chief of Staff and the head of IRGC missile and aerospace divisions, as well as a number of nuclear scientists.
Iran attributes this to Mossad operatives working inside the country.
Igra said he was not impressed by the killings: "It doesn't change the fact that behind that top brass, there's a whole army and people are expendable at the end of the day".
