After the Lebanese pager attack, the Israeli security agency Mossad was in the news. People were also talking about it on social media, saying that Mossad once again showed how powerful Mossad is. It is said that Mossad once again proved its intelligence capabilities with this attack. In fact, people often say that Mossad is one of the most dangerous secret agencies in the world. So today let’s learn about how its agents work and how it is considered dangerous.
Why was Mossad in the news for the pager attack?
After the pager attack, people are discussing Mossad because it is said that Mossad was behind the entire attack. A report by Sky News Arabic quoted a senior Israeli military source as saying that Mossad agents planted explosives in the batteries of pagers used by Hezbollah people. The agents somehow planted PETN (pentaerythritol tetranitrate) in the pagers and then caused them to explode by increasing the temperature of the pager’s battery.
Mossad agents were said to have worked for a long time on this, trying to deliver the explosives to the pagers without Hezbollah’s knowledge. Mossad has been thrust into the spotlight, with its name appearing in many reports on social media.
The story of Mossad…
Israel is said to have the most comprehensive and resourceful intelligence agency, and its name is Mossad. It is reported that the Israeli intelligence agency’s agents and informants are spread across many countries such as Lebanon and Syria, monitoring many things. Mossad is considered the most powerful because Mossad has repeatedly killed extremist leaders with precision and brought out a lot of secret information.
Israel has three intelligence agencies in total, which include Mossad, Shin Bet, and Oman. Shin Bet works similarly to the Indian Intelligence Service in this regard and provides internal security. Under these agencies, there are many other agencies working on satellite, human intelligence, signal intelligence, signature intelligence. The names of these agencies are: Hummit, Geoint, Masint, Sigint.
The special thing about Mossad is that it works more on human intelligence and technology. Even in the pager attack, this attack was done with the help of human intelligence. Mossad has 7,000 employees, of which the work related to intelligence operations is done by the special operations department. Mossad reports directly to the Prime Minister, and the counter-terrorism department works in a different way.
What is life like for a Mossad agent?
– Mossad agents often live among the people where they have to carry out operations. They stay there for a long time and completely hide their identity during the whole process. If we understand from the examples of some famous Mossad spies, then when Mossad conducted an operation against Lieutenant Colonel Adolf Eichmann, the Mossad agents at that time usually rented a room and monitored him like ordinary people.
– Meanwhile, when it comes to Mossad agents, Eli Cohen’s name comes to the top. In 1960, Eli performed an operation in Syria. Originally from Egypt, he moved to Argentina as a successful businessman with Syrian parents. There, he was involved in many Syrian immigrant organizations and groups. After that, he continued to work in Syria.
While in Argentina, Eli Cohen met Aman Hafez, who worked at the Syrian Embassy and became the President of Syria in 1963. Cohen and Hafez grew close. The two became so close that when Hafez became president, he asked Cohen to be the Minister of Defense. He was in charge of all financial affairs of the army. He used to live in a luxurious house in the Syrian capital. Transmission cables were laid in the house so that information could be fed to Mossad.
In addition to this, when an operation was carried out in Dubai against Mahmoud Mahbhouh, the leader of the Palestinian rebel group Hamas, Mossad agents went there with fake passports. About 33 agents carried out the murder together. Mossad agents often work with people related to the operation and live like ordinary people. More often use bicycles, etc. to carry out operations.
