The Iranians, it seems, attacked an "Israeli delegation" in Erbil, not an American one, former Israeli official, legislator, and Vice Premier Haim Ramon said Tuesday.

"Drones are the new weapon that is posing a threat to Israel because they are cheap, effective, and precise," he told Israeli Channel 13, highlighting that it did not have any collateral damage nor pose any dangers to their operator.

"We see what drones did in Saudi Arabia and how they attacked facilities," he declared, stressing that there were attempts to attack the Israeli occupation via UAVs.

Israeli newspaper Makor Rishon military and security affairs commentator Noam Amir commented on the Americans confirming that Tehran attacked an "Israeli delegation" in Erbil.

"When we heard that Iran targeted a Mossad base in Iraq, we laughed, but today, the Americans are confirming the matter," he said.

"It is true that [Washington] is not saying the Mossad was targeted, but they are saying it was an Israeli delegation in the base, and the act was a response to the [Israeli] drone attack [on Iran]," Amir added.

A senior Biden administration official said the building hit by Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) in Erbil served as an Israeli training site.

The New York Times reporter Farnaz Fassihi tweeted that a senior US official, briefed on the Erbil attack, told her colleague Eric Schmitt that the building struck by IRGC ballistic missiles also served as an Israeli training facility.

The IRGC announced Sunday that it attacked a strategic center for "Israeli conspiracies in northern Iraq using precision missiles."

Reliable sources told Al Mayadeen the security center in Iraqi Kurdistan was a chief operations center for the Israeli Mossad, not a secondary one.
