During Iran's attack on the city of Erbil in Iraq, Kurdish businessman Peshraw Dizayee and several members of his family were killed, according to Reuters.

As a result of the missile strike by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the city of Erbil in Iraq, Kurdish businessman Peshraw Dizayee, associated with the Mossad, and several members of his family were killed. A rocket hit the businessman's house.

According to sources, Peshraw Dizayee Zeya was an influential businessman in Kurdistan, close to the regional authorities. He owned several major companies: Empire and Falcon Group. In addition, the missile strike targeted the residence of a high-ranking Kurdish intelligence official and a Kurdish intelligence center.

"Ballistic missiles were used to destroy espionage centers and gatherings of anti-Iranian terrorist groups in the region late tonight," said a statement from the Iranian Guards, mentioning the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.

Iran's elite forces claimed to have targeted positions of the Islamic State in Syria and executors of terrorist operations in Iran. According to U.S. officials, the missile strikes did not hit any U.S. objects.

What is Mossad

Mossad (full name: Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations) is the national intelligence agency of Israel, one of the three main Israeli intelligence services alongside Aman and Shin Bet.

Mossad was founded in 1949 and established to ensure Israel's security and gather information about its adversaries.

The agency maintains a broad network of agents and informants worldwide. It engages in collecting information on political, military, and economic events, as well as the activities of terrorist groups. Additionally, the agency is responsible for conducting special operations, such as kidnappings, assassinations, and sabotage.

Mossad is considered one of the most effective and successful intelligence services in the world. It has played a crucial role in ensuring Israel's security for many years.

Recently, we reported that Iran struck the city of Erbil.

The heads of the CIA and Mossad met in Poland to discuss further options for a prisoner exchange.

Earlier, we reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed Mossad to eliminate the leaders of Hamas.
