Iran there trying to use the base 4 big onslaught attack
Israel sends troops to Afghanistan, big deal. Sure the Iranians don't want to be spied on but so what. It could easily be more foreign troops that learn the lesson about staying away from the Afghans and their territory. Heavens knows they wouldn't be the first.
Remember Matthew Hoh the US diplomat who resigned his post in Afghanistan because of the futility of the endeavour? In one of his many interviews at the time he talked about how a group of armed villagers challenged a company of American soldiers who had entered their valley. As part of the discussion their out of their questions came the fact that they thought soldiers were Russian. They didn't know the Russians had left and the Americans had arrived but any armed force entering their valley was met with armed folk.

Better luck to the Israelis I say but I doubt we will hear if they have any of that force killed by anyone.
It is interesting that the Iranians know the Israelis are there. You might think they would be a bit more discreet.
