Israel secretly deployed elite forces to Azerbaijan and operated a fighter jet refueling station in Somaliland during the war with Iran, a report said Friday.
Dozens of commandos and Mossad agents were stationed along the Azerbaijan-Iran border, including, at the closest post to Iran, some 60 miles (96 kilometers) from the northwestern Iranian city of Tabriz, which Israel struck during the war, according to CNN, which cited unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
