Yes?

Yes. But I think that what they didn't know is sufficient to render any plan that relies on targetted bombing of Iran, based on Israeli intelligence about the location of Iran's weapons programs, pure folly.
Let's put it this way: If Israeli intelligence is good enough to tell us exactly where to bomb to neutralize Iran's weapons program (rendering ground forces unnecessary), then why wasn't Israel's intelligence good enough to tell Israel where to bomb to neutralize Hezbollah's long-range missile capabilities before the ground invasion?
