The Mossad is the national intelligence agency of Israel, responsible for intelligence collection, covert operations abroad and counter-terrorism work.
Some of the most famous operations attributed to the Mossad include the abduction of Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann from Argentina to Israel in 1960 and the successful heist of the Iranian secret nuclear archive in 2018.
In addition, the agency also works to bring Jews from countries in which aliyah is forbidden, to Israel.
The Mossad was found in December 1941 under the recommendation of then prime minister David Ben-Gurion to coordinate with other existing security services, Aman and the Shin Bet.
Its current director is David Barnea, who took over from Yossi Cohen in 2021, and who answers solely to the prime minister rather than to another member of the cabinet.
The app, developed by Shin Bet investigators, was inspired by tactical intelligence gathered from Nokhba terrorists captured before the IDF's ground maneuver in Gaza.
