In 1992 the Israeli military planed an Operation code named "Bramble Bush" the idea was that IDF commandos, would cross out of Israel, into Jordan and than to Iraq and attacking Saddam Hussein while he was at his uncle's funeral, however during rehearsal for the operation there was a live fire accident leading to 5 deaths in front of than IDF chief of staff Ehud Barak so the plan was canned, it was brought back in 1998, this time by the Mossad, under the name Bramble Bush II this time it was canned due to American and British bombing of Iraq in Operation Desert Fox and worries that it'd hurt the Israeli-Arab peace process, but what if it hadn't been, what if Mossad some time in 1998 ambushed and killed Saddam Hussein?
