Was ill-fated boat ride in Italy part of Mossad operation against Iran?
Local media in Italy indicate that Israeli and Italian intelligence officers involved in the tragedy were on a mission to prevent "hostile elements" from obtaining weapons.

According to the report, "Everything was perfect except for the graduation party," as their cover-up was exposed. The New York Times reported that "the Mossad man who was killed was responsible for relations with foreign intelligence services."
After Israel's Mossad spy agency confirmed that the Israeli who died was a retired intelligence agent, a former official from the intelligence body revealed new details about what he, and ten other Israeli agents, may have been doing aboard the ship in northern Italy.
"He was not there for vacation or a birthday party. It was not an operational mission, but it was related to his work," hinted Israeli lawmaker and former deputy head of the Mossad, Ram Ben Barak, in an interview with Israeli radio Reshet Bet.
"It is a great pity that such a special man has left us," he continued. "It's true, one day you are the king of the world and at the end of any such activity you return home and you are a normal person, when you retire you are just a normal person."
"It's very hard work, sometimes also very Sisyphean, you can sit for 20 hours without moving and wait for someone to come out, it's not much fun," added Ben Barak, "but there are also crazy and very satisfying moments."
Italian investigative reporting, led by Corriere Della Sera, discovered the mysterious figures on the other side of the lake's shores. In the Piedmont region, but near the lake, there were reports of a "heavy" Russian presence, with large real estate holdings.
Despite sanctions on many Russian oligarchs as a result of the war in Ukraine, money has continued to flow in Europe, particularly through Switzerland as well as Italy. Helped by willing foreign companies of friends, or by the movements of the wives and mistresses of the oligarchs, they have been able to continue their luxurious lives and meet with mysterious figures.
Italian reporting suggested the Israelis may have been "monitoring contacts between Italian and Iranian firms," that were engaged in "dealing with civilian components used for drones" that could be used in the war in Ukraine. In addition, the area is home to a number of wealthy Italian Jews who have regular contact with high-level local and international politicians, cultural figures, and other personas of note.
The report suggests
that the intelligence agents may have been completing or undertaking a
mission related to either set of figures residing in the area, with the
rapid extradition by the Italian and Israeli spy agencies only
increasing the intrigue.
