What Good Covert Ops Look Like

Israeli intelligence finds NoKo nuke material in Syria*, quietly solicits and obtains the support of its primary ally for removing it (without a media leak), and launches a daring and successful raid to do so. The best part: we find out about it only two weeks after the fact. If there were casualties, they were minimal. This is how things are supposed to work.

*If the NoKo/Syria/Iran nuke axis of evil is news, you might want to watch your head so you don't bang it on that stalactite--or trip over that stalagmite--as you wake up from your five-year nap.
