Israel and Ukraine Use Locals for Covert Attacks

Israel and Ukraine are using local people and high-tech gadgets to carry out secret attacks.

Israel trained locals inside Iran, including people who were treated badly by the government, to use special equipment to attack important targets.

In June, these locals used rockets and drones to destroy air-defense systems and missile launchers.

Ukraine has also used local people, like a DJ and his wife, to carry out attacks in Russia.

Both countries are using new technology to help these local operatives stay hidden and do complex tasks.

This is different from the old way of using professional spies, which has become riskier because of modern surveillance.

The local operatives are committed and live openly while preparing for attacks, then leave safely before the strikes happen.
