The Israeli Military Intelligence (Hebrew: אגף המודיעין, romanized: Agaf ha-Modi'in, lit.
It is one of the main entities and the largest component of the Israeli Intelligence Community, along with Mossad and Shin Bet.
The IDF's Intelligence Corps (חיל המודיעין), abbreviated as Haman (חמ״ן) and headed by a brigadier general, has been detached from Aman since the Yom Kippur War, but remains under its jurisdiction.
During the founding of the state of Israel, the Haganah military organization was primarily responsible for gathering intelligence, or one of its elite units, the Scherut Jediot (secret service), or Shai.
Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion commissioned the Shai in the late 1940s to create a secret service structure for Israel.
Aman-led "Operation Susannah" was intended to attack western facilities in Egypt by Israeli agents and saboteurs.
Egypt’s State Security interrogated the perpetrators and were given sensitive information from the Israeli Military Intelligence.
