المخابرات العامه المصريه GIS او Egyptian General Intelligence

The General Intelligence Service' (is the national intelligence agency of Egypt. GIS) جهاز المخابرات العامه
is the national intelligence agency of Egypt. It is part of the Egyptian Intelligence community which includes also the Directorate of Military Intelligence and Reconnaissance
and the State Security Investigations Service (Arabic: جهاز مباحث أمن الدولة Jihaz Mabahith Amn al-Dawla).

In spite of the rule which says " success in intellignce world is a barried secret while failure is a world wide scandal" the GIS did achieve many successes a few of which were released and dramatized in Egyptian TV and Cinema
1- The GIS managed to plant Egyptian Agent among Jewish immigrants to Israel, that Agent " Refaat Al Gammal" managed to live 18 years in Israel without being discovered in those years he established a network of Spies in Various fields of Israeli community.
2- in 1970 the GIS managed to hunt an Israeli Oil Rig while being shipped from Canada to Sinai, Clandestine GIS agents and frogmen succeeded in tracing the Oil Rig to Abedgan, Cote d evour and planeted sets of explosives, had them detonated and crippled the rig. Ironically , this was done while the city was full , not only of MOSSAD agents protecting the Oil Rig , but also while it was full of CIA agents who were guarding the NASA astronauts in their visit to " COTE D'IVOIRE " , this operation was published in 1985 under the name of ( Al -Haffar) it was supervised at that time by EGID director " Ameen Heweedy" (1921- )
3- between 1968 and 1972 GIS managed to infiltrate residence of American diplomatic delegation in Cairo and plant tape recodres (refer to referece 1)
4- perhaps the major success of the GIS was handling the Egyptian strategic deception plan that was carried out from 01/1970 to 10/1973 and aimed to conceal the Egyptian plans to launch massive military attack against Israel on 06/10/1973 starting the Yom Kippur war- the plan included planting false information and hidden implied data in Egyptian president Sadat's speeches and newspapers Articles -For example the GIS prepared to the militay operations and evacutaed complete sections of Cairo hospitals to be ready for receiving war casualties, this evacuation that took place few days before the war started, was done after declaring false informaiton that those hospitals were infected with Titanus .
The plan included a majour operation whose details are still not published. This operation aimed at getting detailed information of American Spy satellites covering Middle East, by knowing exact trajectories and timing of those Satellites the GIS prepared complicated logestic movement schedules for all Egyptian Army units to avoid moving mass troops in timings where they could be spotted by satellites.




Despite declared peace between Egypt and Israel , every few years the GIS declares arrest of Israeli espionage networks, yet till Israel has not declared arrest of any Egyptian spies on its soil.
