The involvement of an Azerbaijani-Israeli operative also reveals Iran's strategic targeting of dual-nationality citizens, exploiting complex identity ties.

📰 What Happened
Iranian intelligence operatives attempted to establish a spy network within Israel prior to the October war by recruiting Israeli citizens through minor intelligence tasks before escalating to more serious operations. One recruit agreed to assassinate a nuclear scientist, while another operative, an Azerbaijani-Israeli, conducted espionage as a family enterprise. The operation reveals Iran's methodical approach to infiltrating Israeli society through gradual recruitment and escalating assignments.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The timing of this spy network's exposure - coming after the October war but revealing pre-war infiltration - marks a critical timeline checkpoint in Ezekiel 38's prophecy about Persia (Iran) gathering intelligence before a major assault on Israel. The targeting of nuclear scientists and the 'family business' espionage model aligns with Daniel 11's description of a northern power using 'intrigue' and internal agents. This sophisticated infiltration method demonstrates the prophesied 'deception of the elect' reaching new technological and psychological depths.
