  20. Nearly 5,000 admitted dead as result of this blatant act of aggression against Iran. A system of Identification card and wristband containing biometric technology that must be carried at all times for quick proof of identity was started in 2013 and it only took the Saudis 2 years to use it as a weapon of war.

    Mossad was given access to the identification system and spent hours digging through bodies hunting out those they wanted to kidnap (if still alive.) And because everyone there had an identifying (biometric) wristband and matching electronic smart card, there is no conceivable way they could have remained unidentified so long. The Saudis have something absolutely enormous to hide, such as complicity in helping Israel abduct over 200 key members of Iran's government.
