The nuclear scientists were killed using a special weapon whose details were barred from publication, Channel 12 says.
The 10th nuclear scientist was killed shortly after the other nine, as part of the overnight Thursday-Friday Israeli operation, which included strikes on Iran’s ballistic missile program and the Natanz nuclear site, along with the elimination of top members of the Islamic Republic’s military leadership, the network says.
The nuclear scientists were all killed while they were sleeping in their beds, with Israel deciding to carry out the assassinations simultaneously so that there wouldn’t be time to tip off those being targeted.
The scientists apparently believed they were safe from such targeting in their homes, a senior Israeli official tells Channel 12, noting that previously assassinated nuclear scientists were killed while heading to their cars after work.
Israel had been tracking Iranian nuclear scientists for years and the ten killed last week were marked for assassination in November of last year, Channel 12 says.

How Israel Uses AI in Gaza—And What It Might Mean for the Future of Warfare:
A program known as “The Gospel” generates suggestions for buildings and structures militants may be operating in. “Lavender” is programmed to identify suspected members of Hamas and other armed groups for assassination, from commanders all the way down to foot soldiers. “Where’s Daddy?” reportedly follows their movements by tracking their phones in order to target them—often to their homes, where their presence is regarded as confirmation of their identity. The air strike that follows might kill everyone in the target's family, if not everyone in the apartment building.
Abraham, whose report relies on conversations with six Israeli intelligence officers with first-hand experience in Gaza operations after Oct. 7, quoted targeting officers as saying they found themselves deferring to the Lavender program, despite knowing that it produces incorrect targeting suggestions in roughly 10% of cases.
Murdered. Not killed, murdered.
Both technically true, but the way they write killed suggests it wasn't murder in cold blood, an act of war against another country to bully and control them.
Murder.

How can people be so fucking stupid as to keep their key personnel vulnerable like that?
There are very few habitable places in the world not susceptible to airstrikes. The bombs dropped on nuclear facilities last night are claimed to be able to penetrate 60 meters of earth before exploding.

Murder.
I think assassinated is the appropriate term here as it's politically motivated.

Narnia? What an odd name. What did they kill them with, a lion or a wardrobe?
The Lyin' Bitch and the War Globe.

The alternative is “drop bombs”.
Rounding up leaders and putting them on trial seems like a more civilized international approach than engaging in the same bloodthirsty, explosive, surprise-murder that is literally the whole problem here.
You don't have the alternative to go into other people's country and round up people because people will absolutely shoot any such folks then drop bomb's on your cities and forces. It's not my fault you are confused about what the options are.

Evil state? Which one are you referring to?
All of them.

Man up
Fuck off. You can take that shit elsewhere. Grow a conscience.
A conscience is what we need to make the tough choices and prevent another NK

The US gave Israel, an evil state, nuclear weapons. By your logic...
Well they were less evil back then.. now I think we should cut off all support. And I think we probably would stop the donations, if it wasn't for Iran being allied with Ruzzia.

I don't think you give a shit about genocide, personally, you've just picked the Palestinian Genocide as your particular favourite issue to bang your drum about.
Tell me, what are your opinions on:
- The Ukrainian Genocide (by Russia)
- The Masalit Genocide (by Sudan)
- The Rohingya Genocide (by Myanmar)
- The Uyghur Genocide (by China)
?
And those are the other genocides happening literally right now!
Let's go a little further back:
- The Tigray Genocide (by Ethiopia in 2022)
- The Yazidi Genocide (by ISIS in 2014)
- The Darfur Genocide (By the RSF in 2005)
- The Bosnian Genocide (by Serbia in 1995)
- The Death Commissions (by Iran from 1981-1988. Ebrahim Raisi, President of Iran until 2024 was literally on the panels that executed people for being non-Muslim!)
- The Kurdish Genocide (by Iraq in 1988 and arguably by Turkey and Iran now, given that pro-Iran protestors set fire to the Kurdish party offices in Iraq)
So no, I don't think you care. If you did, you wouldn't be supporting Iran who gives drones to Russia to commit genocide and have themselves committed genocide. You would be calling for Iran's government to be deposed for the religious nutjobs that they are.
Ah! Actually I really appreciate this question, and I have coincidentally recently briefly outlined my thoughts on each of these in this thread.

Comments going against Israel - so you agree that Iran should have nuclear weapons?
It's the only rational course of action we have left for them. They would be insane not to try. I don't know if they will succeed. Mosad seems all powerful, but they will certainly try.

The story of Israel is the story of the US in many ways, and the same species of denial reflected, shattered and mutated into a new context with different pre-existing histories doesn't change the nature of this, that it is the same old process of colonialism violently denying itself. I recognize the primal scream because I have shamefully participated in it in the past cycles of this story, not because I actually understand myself as impervious to its violent impulse.
This has nothing to do with religion, any -ism, any broad category of people, it is just the nature of how colonialism was designed to divide us.
This isn't university, you can talk normal here.

I have always been amazed that countries are allowed to get away with this. You would expect that a country that does this would have their leadership rounded up by an international strike force instantly and hauled to Hague.
You have been playing too much rainbow six. There are no good guys in the halls of power looking after us.
There are only the rich fucks over here and the rich fucks over there pulling the levers of power.

Murder.
the word "kill" is typically used in regards to warfare, not murder, so I'm not sure why you would say in this instance that it was written as though it wasn't an act of war.

Only because genocidal zionazi supremacists control the us, and by extension g7+nato, Iran should not pursue nuclear energy, because Israel would always accuse them of pursuing more. There is no economic value for nuclear energy. Solar + batteries much more effective.
Still, negotiations to that end are far more human. I wouldn't want you to have nuclear weapons, but killing you should have a better reason Than my supremacy.

lol what. yeah the parties that don't have the nukes do retaliate when the parties with the nukes are the aggressors. Iran didn't start a war. Palestine isn't even involved in a war that's just genocide.
You are clearly seeing having nukes has no effect on retaliation, so why would you insist on it?

I generally don’t believe Iran was on its way to building nuclear weapons, only nuclear energy. But, if we were to entertain for a moment the notion that they were, this is all pretty badass no?
But, since it’s not the case this whole thing is frightening. Israel is a terrorist state and I’m tired of pretending otherwise.

It's not the people that make decisions or even matter.
It is the capitalist US/UK governments that have decided to help their nazi friends.
That's what mattersIn a democracy, the people get the government that they deserve, at least the near-majority of them do.

I understood that comment. I legit don't know what you were saying in the previous one.
