The Israeli Intelligence Community consists of several agencies, including the Shin Bet and Mossad. The Shin Bet, also known as the Israeli Security Agency, is responsible for Israels internal counterespionage and counterterrorism activities. It is often compared to the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and handles overall security for Israels national airline, El Al. On the other hand, Mossad is primarily responsible for foreign-intelligence work. It uses agents to collect intelligence, conduct covert operations, and counterterrorism, with a primary focus on the Arab nations and pro-Arab organizations. While both agencies are part of the Israeli Intelligence Community, they have different areas of focus and responsibilities.
