US EditionIsrael hacked Iranian traffic cameras to spy on Khamenei: Report
Hacked Tehran traffic cameras provided years of surveillance data, allowing Israel to pinpoint Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's location for a strike that decapitated Iran's leadership.
- The operation on February 28, 2026, involved a targeted daytime strike on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's compound in Tehran, killing Iran's Supreme Leader, according to reports.
- Decades in the making, Israel's campaign to target Iran began with a 2001 Mossad directive from Ariel Sharon, and officials say killing Khamenei was a political decision reflecting longstanding Israeli policy.
- Using AI and algorithms, Israeli intelligence scrambled nearly all Tehran traffic cameras and fused feeds with Unit 8200 data and social‑network analysis to build 'patterns of life' on Khamenei's protectors.
- The strike removed Iran's senior leadership, including the supreme leader, and set the stage for severe regional escalation involving the US and Israel in Lebanon and Gulf states.
- Looking to the wider impact, Iranian surveillance cameras used against protesters and citizens were turned on Khamenei, while analysts debate long‑term strategic gains as many methods remain undisclosed.
