Preface:
Chapter I: Intelligence activities before the founding of Israel
Before the founding of Israel, Jews took certain armed struggles to realize Zionism and established corresponding intelligence organizations, such as Shay. However, during this period, the intelligence activities of Jews were scattered and rough, with many factions and chaotic internal organizations. Their main tasks were to serve the Jewish nation-building and the anti-fascist struggle.
Chapter II: "Susanna Action" and "Lafon Incident"
The evil consequences caused by the early internal rebellion crisis of Israeli intelligence organizations continue to exert influence on overseas agents and their actions, and various intelligence agencies have their own ways, especially between Mossad, Simbert and Amun, and there is no communication and cooperation, even the government and parliament are kept in the dark. Simbert carried out "Operation Susanna" in Cairo and carried out terrorist activities. All the relevant personnel were captured by Egypt except the commander who escaped. This incident not only directly affected Israel's international image, but even caused defense minister Lafon, who had nothing to do with this incident, to be forced to leave his post and the cabinet collapsed. This is one of the worst accidents in the history of Israeli intelligence.
Chapter III Pursuing the Murder from a Thousand Miles: The End of Nazi War Criminals after the War
Since the founding of Israel, Israeli intelligence organizations have spared no effort to hunt down former Nazi war criminals all over the world in order to avenge the Jewish victims during World War II. After years of hard work, this work has achieved great results, especially the pursuit of Eichmann in 1961 is exemplary. Harel, the head of Mossad, personally led agents to Argentina, and secretly kidnapped the Nazi war criminal Anximan, who lived there and was directly responsible for the extermination of 6 million Jews in Europe, to Israel, so that he was duly punished. The pursuit of other Nazi war criminals is still going on by Israeli intelligence agencies.
chapter iv ace spy in the middle east war: eli cohen lurking around the Syrian president
in p>1962, in order to deal with Egypt and Syria, two Israeli ace spies, eli cohen and wolfgang lotz, were sent to Syria and Egypt respectively to engage in espionage activities. Eli cohen successfully penetrated into the high-level core of Syria, became a close friend of General Hafez, the later president of Syria, went in and out of the head of government, and almost became the Minister of National Defense. Using this relationship, eli cohen has stolen a lot of top secret Syrian political and military information. In 1965, he was arrested on the spot by the Syrian anti-espionage agency. After many rescues failed, he was hanged in public by Syria in May. In March of the same year, Lotz was also arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. In 1968, Israel exchanged him for a prisoner of war.
Chapter V Spy Prince with 9 generals and 5, prisoners of war: "sorge of the East" wolfgang lotz
wolfgang lotz is known as "sorge of the East". He lived in Germany as a child and then moved to Palestine. Joined the army after the outbreak of World War II. It was sent to Egypt by Mossad in 1962. There, as a "German tourist" and a "horse-raising expert", he made friends with Egyptian elites, and obtained the latest information on Egypt's missile, rocket and aircraft manufacturing from these celebrities. Because of this information, Israel took the initiative in the third Middle East War in 1967. In March 1965, Lotz was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. In 1968, Israel exchanged him for a prisoner of war.
Chapter VI Stealing Nuclear Materials: Lead Salt with High Acid Action
Since the mid-196s, Israel's national security is still facing great challenges. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Israel has sought to develop nuclear weapons. With the help of France, Israel built a nuclear reactor in 1956, but later France stopped supplying nuclear materials. In order to continue its nuclear program, Israeli intelligence organizations decided to smuggle uranium banned by IAEA in Europe and America. The two operations finally got enough nuclear materials to successfully produce an atomic bomb.
Chapter VII: The Operation Noah's Ark and the French mirage jets Drawings
In the contest between Israel and Arab countries, the competition of naval forces has always been a key point. When Egypt acquired advanced Soviet warships in the early 196s, Israel also stepped up the pace of purchasing German missile speedboats. However, after the third Middle East War in 1967, France announced an arms embargo on Israel. In order to obtain the missile speedboat that has been ordered, Mossad agents resorted to deception and stole their own combat ship from France. Not long after, in response to the needs of the air force, before France recovered its strength, it brought back the drawings of the phantom fighter plane that France was proud of from Switzerland.
Chapter VIII The Beauty Chain: The Defection of MiG Aircraft
The Arab-Israeli confrontation in the Middle East is to a great extent a weapon confrontation. Whoever has new weapons will have the initiative. And "knowing the weapons in the hands of the enemy means that you have defeated the enemy. Therefore, when the new Soviet-made MiG aircraft appeared and sold to Middle Eastern countries, Mossad began reconnaissance operations. " In this reconnaissance operation, the honey trap has been tried and tested, and has successively turned against two ace pilots, Iraq and Syria. These two actions enabled Israel to master the most advanced MIG -21 and MIG -23 aircraft at that time.
Chapter IX Yom Kippur War and Amun's Mistakes
The victory of the third Middle East War in p>1967 made the Israeli intelligence agencies resound with great prestige, but it also encouraged the optimism of domestic and even Israeli intelligence agencies. Egypt and Syria attacked Israel on October 6, 1973 after years of camouflage and planning in order to avenge an arrow and recapture the occupied land. Although sufficient intelligence and information were obtained before the war, the rigid and unreasonable intelligence system led to the failure of the government and the army to make correct judgments and eventually suffered heavy losses. The reputation of Israel's intelligence service once again fell to a low point, and Israel reorganized Amun, who was directly responsible for military intelligence, and replaced the responsible person.
Chapter 1 Revenge: Chasing the Terrorists of Black September
Several wars between Israel and Arab countries in the Middle East were accompanied by the upsurge of the Palestinian liberation movement. In order to attract the world's attention to the fate of Palestine, the Palestinians began to take a non-traditional form of armed struggle-terrorism, and launched extreme actions against Israelis all over the world by means of hijacking, kidnapping and assassination. Among them, the most influential case was the bloody case in Munich, Germany in 1972, when the PLO secret organization kidnapped and killed 11 Israeli athletes. Israel is determined to take strong revenge against terrorists. The intelligence department made a blacklist for this purpose, and the agents were ordered to go to all parts of the world to hunt down the "blacklist" personnel. The assassination began in October 1972 and lasted for six years until January 1979.
Chapter XI "Operation Thunderbolt" and the hijacking at Entebbe Airport
On June 27th, 1976, terrorists hijacked Air France Flight 137 with more than 8 Israelis on board. As soon as the terrorists released the exchange conditions, the Israeli cabinet instructed its intelligence agency, Mossad, to work out feasible countermeasures. Through the intelligence network in Kenya, the unknown Mossad agents completed the task of intelligence gathering very well, which made the Israeli elite commandos achieve amazing success in the lightning attack and hostage rescue operation at Entebbe airport. The boldness of this operation and the long distance of the attack have revealed Israel's ability to fight terrorism, and also made people feel that despite so many mistakes and failures in the intelligence community, they are indispensable anyway.
Chapter XII: Nuclear Facilities and Safety
After possessing the atomic bomb, Israel became a super military power in the Middle East. In order to compete with Israeli military forces, Iraq decided to seek the help of the French to develop nuclear weapons. After receiving this news, Israel decided to stop this nuclear cooperation at all costs. Mossad agents first managed to get Buttrust Emu halim, an Iraqi nuclear physicist in France, into the water to get relevant inside information, then killed Mishad, another Iraqi nuclear scientist in France who refused to cooperate, and finally collected enough information to help the military successfully destroy Iraq's nuclear reactor.
Chapter 13 Unsolved Mystery: The Truth of the vanunu Spy Case
It's no secret that Israel has nuclear weapons since it stole uranium. However, before the 198s, Israeli officials never made public statements on relevant matters, neither denied nor made any definite statements, and the international community and major media in the world could not find concrete evidence to prove that Israel did possess atomic weapons. However, in 1986, Britain's Sunday Times published an exact and surprising news: Israel had an atomic bomb in its arsenal. The provider is vanunu, a former Israeli nuclear physicist. The news came out that Israel was very embarrassed. Prime Minister Perez was shocked and ordered that vanunu be arrested and brought to justice.
Chapter XIV Assassination: Leaders of Palestinian Armed Factions
In order to disintegrate the PLO and crush the Palestinian resistance, Israel also began to take assassination measures to remove the leaders of the Palestine Liberation Organization, such as the assassination of PLO leader tamimi in 1987. In April 1988, Abu Jehad, the highest military commander of the PLO, was assassinated. In February 1988, the PLO's "Return" cruise ship transporting Palestinians to Israel was successfully bombed in Greece, which frustrated the propaganda attempt of the other side to "return to navigation". Abu Nidal, the leader of the Palestinian terrorist organization who died mysteriously in 22, was actually an agent of Israel's Mossad. He was mainly engaged in sabotaging the Palestinian liberation cause. Through many terrorist activities in the late 198s, he directly endangered the Palestinian liberation cause and benefited the Israeli government.
Chapter XV Scandal Continuation and Unknown Future
At the end of the 2th century, with the evolution of the world structure, the basic functions and tasks of the Israeli headquarters under adjustment have not changed much, and it is still important to collect foreign intelligence, carry out special operations and fight terrorism. However, in the 199s, scandals frequently broke out in Israeli intelligence agencies. First, the surprising incident that internal agents fabricated false information to deceive intelligence agency leaders and profited from it was frequently exposed because of spying activities against their traditional allies, such as the United States and Britain, which caused strong dissatisfaction in the United States and Britain, indicating that the intelligence agency, which was famous for its miraculous powers and high efficiency, not only lost its former spirit, but also became an inefficient bureaucracy. Mossad's prestige in the eyes of the public has been greatly reduced, and its authoritative position in Israeli intelligence agencies has also been questioned. It remains to be seen whether the Israeli intelligence service can restore its former glory and prestige.
