Israel's spy agencies are the stuff of legend.
From domestic intelligence gathering to rooting out terrorism in its own backyard, to disrupting and dismantling Iranian-backed terrorist armies entrenched in neighboring Arab states, Israel has led the world in both covert and overt operations.
One leader of its foreign intelligence agencies, the Mossad, had the foresight to see how gathering intelligence and using it to act quickly could benefit not only Israel but also its allies and, at times, its adversaries, and could be a political tool used to forge peace.
His name was Meir Dagan. Not only did his leadership provide Israel and allies like the United States with the means to stop conflict, but his work and ideas also helped reshape how the world gathers and uses intelligence. His story is just now being made known.
