  That was Israel financing attacks against Iranian officials. I was using it in the modern usage, as in: > The term today extends to include countries that organize attacks on themselves and make the attacks appear to be by enemy nations or terrorists, thus giving the nation that was supposedly attacked a pretext for domestic repression and foreign military aggression. This article is clearly using false flag to mean proxy conflicts, which I don't think is the colloquial understanding of the term.
