Mossad officer who exposed Syrian reactor faced dismissal before vindication

A Mossad officer, Anat, identified the Syrian nuclear reactor but was dismissed by superiors as wasting time on a 'chicken coop.' She bypassed the chain of command, and after an agent retrieved a disk from a senior Syrian official's hotel room, her intelligence was confirmed, leading to the 2007 strike. The account, drawn from Ehud Olmert's memoirs, highlights internal dissent and intelligence validation within Israeli covert operations.
