Israel This country is a very young country. According to the encyclopedia, On May 14, 1948, the State of Israel was officially announced, and the day was Israel's National Day. On May 11, 1949, Israel won the seat of United Nations and became the 59th member state.
But Israel's intelligence agencies have been much longer than the Israeli country.
Let's take a look at the Israeli intelligence agencies:
Nativ: (Former Israeli intelligence agency) This agency is mainly responsible for intelligence collection of Soviet Union countries and Jewish immigration. It has been active within the Warsaw Pact countries until 1990 after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and was transformed into a department under the Office of the Prime Minister of Israel.
Lekem: (Former Israel Intelligence Agency) is the abbreviation of ha-Lishka le-Kishrei Mada (Hebrew : הלשכה לקשרי מדע, Bureau of Science Relations ), and is abbreviated by Benjamin Blumberg (1957-1981) and Rafi Eitan ( Rafi Eitan) Leadership (1981-1986).
mission is to collect scientific and technical intelligence from abroad. It was dissolved in 1986, and the reason for the dissolution was that it was discovered by the United States that it stole confidential U.S. documents. Pollard is an employee of the U.S. Navy Intelligence Department and is paid to Lekem Agent for providing a large number of confidential documents.
Israel can be said to be a desert of innovative technologies, but Israel has obtained technical information and innovative technologies from many companies and countries through intelligence agencies. This has provided a great impact on Israel's development.
Israel has 5 existing intelligence agencies:
1: Mossad (mainly for obtaining external intelligence), and there are many legends in the world. Mossad is responsible for intelligence collection , secret operations and anti-terrorism . Its supervisor is directly and only responsible for Israeli Prime Minister . Its annual budget is estimated to be about 10 billion shekels ($2.73 billion), and it is estimated to directly employ about 7,000 employees, making it one of the largest spy agencies in the world.
Mossad was established on December 13, 1949 and recommended by Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion to Ruwen Hiloya. Ben Gurion wants an central agency to coordinate and improve cooperation among existing security departments—the military intelligence department ( AMAN ), the internal security department ( Shin Bet ) and the "political department" of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In March 1951, it was reorganized into part of the Prime Minister's Office and reported directly to the Prime Minister.
The biggest part of Mossad is the intelligence part, then Metsada (responsible for assassination and sabotage), Kidon (responsible for assassination), and now there are venture capital and other businesses.
Due to the particularity of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency we know the most is Mossad.
2: Aman (Israel's Military Intelligence Agency) is the highest intelligence agency of the Israeli army, including intelligence collection department, information security department, research department, and intelligence agencies of various arms. is currently led by Major General Aharon Haliva . It includes a cyber warfare branch unit 8200, a secret technology unit 81 and a training course Havatzalot Program.
Aman was established in 1950 when the intelligence department was separated from the IDF General Staff (the intelligence department itself is mainly composed of former members of the Hagana Intelligence Bureau).
One of the biggest failures in Israeli intelligence was caused by Aman in the 1950s. As part of the so-called Raven incident, Defense Minister Pinias Raven had to resign. "HTM3 Operation Susanna " led by Oman is designed to attack Western facilities in Egyptian by Israeli agents and saboteurs. The purpose is to undermine the good relationship between the United States and Egyptian head of state Jamal Abdul Nasser .
3: Shabak ( Israel Security Bureau ) It is one of the three main organizations of the Israeli intelligence community , side by side with Oman ( Military Intelligence ) and Mossad ( Foreign Intelligence Agency ).
’s main tasks are to maintain Israeli security, expose terrorist gangs, interrogate terrorist suspects, provide intelligence for counter-terrorism operations in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, counter-espionage activities, personal protection of senior public officials, protection of important infrastructure and government buildings, as well as protecting Israeli Airlines and overseas embassies. Although
is a security agency, it is not affiliated with the Israeli Ministry of Defense . Its person in charge is directly responsible for Israeli Prime Minister .
4: The intelligence department of the Israeli police is mainly responsible for public security work in Israel. , like most other police troops in the world, has responsibilities including combating crime, traffic control , maintaining public safety and anti-terrorism . It is under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Public Security .
Israeli Police Department was established in 1948. There are about 35,000 people on the payroll. There are also 70,000 National Guard volunteers working part-time jobs to help policing their own communities.
5: Israel's political research department, mainly Israel's diplomatic department.
