Operation Plumbat

Operation Plumbat was a covert operation conducted by the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad in the late 1960s. Its primary objective was to procure uranium for Israel's nuclear weapons program. The operation took place in 1968 and involved the clandestine acquisition of a significant quantity of uranium from a French supplier. The operation is perhaps best known for its audacious execution, which included the use of false identities and front companies.
