How powerful is Mossad, one of the four major intelligence organizations in the world?

Mossad, the full name of Israel Intelligence and Special Mission Bureau, was founded by the Israeli military on 1948, and is famous for its boldness, radicalism and secrecy. Together with the US Central Intelligence Agency, the Soviet National Security Council and the British MI 6, it is called "the four major intelligence organizations in the world". Since its establishment, Mossad has carried out many successful actions that shocked the world. Its success has become a legend in the history of world intelligence.

As the Jewish prophet Ma Meng Ned said, "If the enemy wants to kill you, you kill the enemy first." Mossad is such a group of "mysterious people". "They are everywhere. They are everywhere. Victory cannot be publicized, and failure cannot be explained. " In such a harsh organization, the conditions for recruiting agents are extremely strict: they must be Jews and serve in the Israel Defense Forces; Overseas background, familiar with English and many European languages; Accept psychological test and background investigation for several months; /kloc-friends made after the age of 0/0 should be questioned.

Mossad's activities are very extensive, and everything related to Israel's national security belongs to its borders, and its intelligence gathering ability is very strong. Agents lurking outside the country mainly enter the core and secret departments of the host country to steal information. Intelligence is mainly military intelligence, supplemented by political intelligence. Military intelligence is used to maintain a strong force to deal with the national survival crisis caused by the hostility of Arab countries; Political intelligence is used to assist Israel's foreign policy-making.

Mossad's famous action:1On June 27th, 976, an Air France passenger plane flying from Tel Aviv to Paris was hijacked by four former members of the Palestinian People's Liberation Front to Entebbe Airport in Uganda. Of the 248 passengers, 65,438+007 Jews were taken hostage in exchange for 53 Palestinians detained in Israel and three other countries, while others were released. The hijackers claimed that if Israel did not agree, the hostages would be executed in batches.

The hostages were held in an abandoned building at Entebbe airport. There are more than 60 Ugandan soldiers guarding the building, and there are more Ugandan armed forces inside and outside the airport. The distance between Israel and Uganda is over 4,000 kilometers, and the air flight time is 6-7 hours. There are countries that are unfriendly to Israel and have nowhere to live.

Mossad planned an unprecedented rescue plan, code-named "Operation Thunderbolt", that is, a special task force composed of three Hercules transport planes, two Boeing 707s, 180 Mossad agents, special forces officers and medical staff flew to Entebbe airport to try to get the hostages back. After seven hours of ultra-low altitude flight, the task force arrived at Entebbe airport.

It took them only 10 minutes to capture the building, 20 minutes to rescue the hostages, 10 minutes to complete the inspection and 10 minutes to board the plane and take off. The hijackers and 50 Ugandan soldiers guarding the building were killed. On the Israeli side, except one hostage who was killed, commander Zhang Kefan was shot in the heart from behind when he was evacuating, becoming the only armed man killed in this operation.
