Chapter 1: The Shadow of Spy: Israel's intelligence activities before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Before the founding of Israel, Jews waged a certain armed struggle to realize Zionism and established corresponding intelligence organizations, such as Shai. However, during this period, the intelligence activities of Jews were scattered and rough, with many factions and chaotic internal organizations. Their main task is to serve the founding of the Jewish nation and the anti-fascist struggle.
Chapter two: "Susanna Action" and "Lafon Incident"
The evil consequences caused by the early internal rebellion crisis of Israeli intelligence organizations continue to have an impact on overseas agents and their actions. Each intelligence agency has its own methods, especially between Mossad, Simbert and Amon. Without communication and cooperation, even the government and parliament were kept in the dark. Simbert carried out "Operation Susanna" in Cairo and carried out terrorist activities. Except for the escaped commander, all relevant personnel were captured by Egypt. This incident not only directly affected Israel's international image, but even led to the forced resignation of defense minister Lafon, who had nothing to do with this incident, and the collapse of the cabinet. This is one of the most serious accidents in the history of Israeli intelligence.
Chapter III Pursuing the Murder in a Thousand Miles: The End of Nazi War Criminals after the War
Since the founding of Israel, in order to avenge the Jewish victims of World War II, Israeli intelligence organizations have spared no effort to hunt down former Nazi war criminals around the world. After years of hard work, this work has achieved great results, especially the pursuit of Eichmann in 196 1 is exemplary. Harel, the leader of Mossad, personally led agents to Argentina, and secretly kidnapped Ansiman, a Nazi war criminal who lived there and was directly responsible for the extermination of 6 million Jews in Europe, to Israel, so that he was punished as he deserved. Israeli intelligence agencies are still pursuing other Nazi war criminals.
Chapter Four: The Ace Spy in the Middle East War: Eli Cohen lurking around the Syrian President.
1962, in order to deal with Egypt and Syria, two Israeli ace spies Eli Cohen and wolfgang lotz were sent to Syria and Egypt to engage in espionage. Eli Cohen successfully penetrated into the high-level core of Syria, became a close friend of later Syrian President General Hafez, went in and out of the head of government, and almost became the Minister of Defense. Using this relationship, Eli Cohen stole a lot of top secret Syrian political and military information. 1965 was caught red-handed by the Syrian anti-espionage agency and hanged in public by Syria in May after repeated rescue failures. In March of the same year, Lotz was also arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. 1968 Israel exchanged him for prisoners of war.
The fifth chapter is a spy prince worthy of 9 generals and 5,000 prisoners of war: "sorge of the East" wolfgang lotz.
Wolfgang lotz is called "sorge of the East". He lived in Germany as a child and later moved to Palestine. Joined the army after the outbreak of World War II. 1962 was sent to Egypt by Mossad. There, he made friends with Egyptian elites as a "German tourist" and a "horse-raising expert", and obtained the latest information on Egyptian missile, rocket and aircraft manufacturing from these celebrities. Because of this information, Israel took the initiative in the third Middle East War. 1965 In March, Lotz was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. 1968 Israel exchanged him for prisoners of war.
Chapter VI Stealing and transporting nuclear materials: the role of lead perchlorate.
In the mid-1960s, Israel's national security still faced great challenges. Since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Israel has sought to develop nuclear weapons in order to cope with the crisis at any time. With the help of France, Israel built a nuclear reactor on 1956, but later France stopped supplying nuclear materials. In order to continue its nuclear program, Israeli intelligence organizations decided to smuggle uranium banned by the International Atomic Energy Agency in Europe and America. These two operations finally obtained enough nuclear materials and successfully made an atomic bomb.
Chapter 7: Moving thousands of miles without telling the truth: "Operation Noah's Ark" and the drawing of French Phantom Jet.
In the contest between Israel and Arab countries, the struggle for naval power has always been a key point. When Egypt acquired advanced Soviet warships in the early 1960s, Israel also accelerated the pace of purchasing German missile speedboats. But 1967 After the Third Middle East War, France announced an arms embargo on Israel. In order to obtain the ordered missile speedboat, Mossad agents took deception and stole their own combat ship from France. Not long after, at the request of the air force, before France regained its strength, it brought back from Switzerland the drawings of the phantom fighter plane that France was proud of.
Chapter 8 Beauty Chain Plan: The Defection of MiG Aircraft
The Arab-Israeli confrontation in the Middle East is largely a confrontation of weapons. 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 a new Soviet-made MIG plane appeared and was sold to Middle Eastern countries, Mossad began reconnaissance operations. " In this reconnaissance operation, the honey trap has been tried and tested, and it has turned against two ace pilots, Iraq and Syria. These two actions enabled Israel to master the most advanced MIG -2 1 and MIG -23 aircraft at that time.
Chapter 9 Yom Kippur War and Amon's Mistakes
1967 the victory of the third middle east war made Israeli intelligence agencies famous, but it also inspired the optimism of domestic and even Israeli intelligence agencies. After years of camouflage and planning, Egypt and Syria attacked Israel on June 6, 1973. Although sufficient intelligence and information were obtained before the war, the rigid and unreasonable intelligence system made it impossible for the government and the army to make correct judgments and eventually suffered heavy losses. The reputation of Israeli intelligence agencies has once again fallen to a low point. Israel reorganized Amon, who was directly in charge of military intelligence, and replaced the person in charge.
Chapter 10 Revenge: Chasing Black September Terrorists
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 an unconventional form of armed struggle-terrorism, and launched extreme actions against Israelis around the world by means of hijacking, kidnapping and assassination. Among them, the most influential case is 1972 Munich Olympic bloody case. The secret organization of the PLO kidnapped and killed 1 1 Israeli athletes. Israel is determined to take strong revenge against terrorists. The intelligence department has made a blacklist for this purpose, and agents have been ordered to go around the world to hunt down "blacklisted" personnel. The assassination began in June 1972 and lasted for six years.
Chapter 1 1 "Operation Thunderbolt" and the hijacking at Entebbe Airport.
1976 On June 27th, terrorists hijacked the Air France 137 passenger plane with more than 80 Israelis on board. As soon as the terrorists announced the exchange conditions, the Israeli cabinet instructed its intelligence agency Mossad to formulate feasible countermeasures. Through Kenya's intelligence network, the unknown Mossad agent completed the intelligence gathering task well, which made the Israeli elite commando team achieve amazing success in the lightning attack and hostage rescue operation at Entebbe airport. The boldness of this action and the distance of the attack exposed Israel's anti-terrorism ability, and it also made people feel that despite so many mistakes and failures in the intelligence community, it was indispensable anyway.
Chapter 12 By hook or by crook: Nuclear facilities and safety
After possessing the atomic bomb, Israel became the super military power in the Middle East. In order to compete with Israel's military power, Iraq decided to seek France's help to develop nuclear weapons. After receiving this news, Israel decided to stop this nuclear cooperation at all costs. Mossad first managed to get Batrus halim, an Iraqi nuclear physicist in France, into the water to get relevant inside information, and 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 vanunu's Spy Case
It is no secret that Israel has had nuclear weapons since it stole uranium. However, before the 1980s, Israeli officials never made a public statement on relevant matters, neither denied nor made any clear statement, and the international community and the world's major media could not find concrete evidence to prove that Israel did possess atomic weapons. However, 1986, the British Sunday Times published an exact and surprising news: there is an atomic bomb in Israel's 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 vanunu to be arrested and brought to justice.
Chapter XIV Assassination: Leaders of Palestinian Armed Factions
In order to disintegrate the PLO and crush Palestinian resistance, Israel also began to remove the leaders of the PLO by assassination, such as 1987 assassination of PLO leader tamimi. 1in April 1988, Abu Jehad, the highest military commander of the PLO, was assassinated. 1In February 1988, the PLO cruise ship "Return" which transported Palestinians to Israel was successfully bombed in Greece, which frustrated the propaganda attempt of the other side to "resume navigation". Abu Nidal, the leader of Palestinian terrorist organization who died mysteriously in 2002, was actually an agent of Israeli Mossad. He is mainly engaged in undermining the cause of Palestinian liberation. Through1many terrorist activities in the late 1980s, he directly endangered the cause of Palestinian liberation and benefited the Israeli government.
Chapter 15 The continuation of the scandal and the unknown future
At the end of the 20th 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 mainly to collect foreign intelligence, carry out special operations and fight terrorism. However, in the 1990s, scandals frequently broke out in Israeli intelligence agencies. First, the surprising incident that internal agents fabricated false information to deceive the leaders of intelligence agencies and benefited from it was frequently exposed because of espionage activities against their traditional allies, such as the United States and Britain, which caused strong dissatisfaction from countries such as the United States and Britain, indicating that intelligence agencies, which are famous for their miraculous work and high efficiency, not only lost their 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.
