Shabak short for Sherut Bitahon Klali, which takes its name from the Hebrew initials for General Security Services, officially known in English as Israeli Security Agency (ISA) or commonly known as Shin Bet is Israel’s internal/domestic intelligence service. The motto of the agency is "Magen VeLo Yera’e" which means "Defender shall not be seen" or better known "The unseen shield". Shin Bet was founded in 1948 as a part of Israeli Defence Force and was headed by Isser Harel (The father of Israeli intelligence) .
The agency conducts internal counterintelligence focused on potential sabotage, terrorist activities, and security matters of a strongly political nature. Shin Bet is divided into three wings responsible for Arab affairs, non-Arab affairs, and protective security: the protection of Israel’s embassies overseas. Security Expert says Shin Bet has large number of fluent Arabic speakers, who are able to pass as Arabs and Palestinians and can walk freely in and out of West Bank. New recruits are able to pass their test as Arabs: walk and shop as Palestinians and talk with them without raising any suspicion.
