'By way of deception thou shalt do war' - Mossad's former slogan
Entebbe Raid - According to a UK government file released by the National Archives, an unnamed contact told a British diplomat in Paris that the Shin Bet and the PFLP collaborated to seize the plane, which was hijacked in Athens and flown to Entebbe in Uganda, where 98, mostly Jews, were allegedly held by the PLO. When the crisis was still unresolved, DH Colvin of the Paris Embassy wrote that according to his source, "the hijack was the work of the PFLP, with help from the Shin Bet. "The operation was designed to torpedo the PLO's standing in France and to prevent what they see as a growing rapprochement between the PLO and the Americans." He added: "My contact said the PFLP had attracted all sorts of wild elements, some of whom had been planted by the Israelis."
Lavon Affair - During the Suez Crisis, Israel deviced Operation Suzanna, more commonly known as the Lavon Affair, after Pinhaus Lavon, who took the fall for it. Israeli military intelligence recruited a group of Egyptian Jews to plant bombs inside American, British, and Egyptian civilian-owned targets with plans to blame the resulting blasts on the Egyptians. This would then trick the British into retaining a troop presence in the Suez, preventing any escalation or embargo against Israel by Egypt. The attack was intended to blow up movie theaters, libraries, and schools owned and frequented by expat Americans. After a few relatively unsuccessful bombings, the spy ring was uncovered by the Egyptians and the plotters were arrested, with two being executed. After decades of publicly denying any involvement, in 2005, President Moshe Katzav, presented the surviving plotters with certificates of appreciation on behalf of the Israeli government.
Operation Trojan - In 1988 the Mossad planted a radio transmitter in Libya broadcasting false reports tricking Raegan into bombing the country. The mass media was completely behind it and never explained it.
Cave of the Patriarchs massacre contingency - Immediately after the Cave of the Patriarchs massacre, the Israeli Secret Service clandestinely planted a bomb in a Catholic church in Lebanon, hoping to kill hundreds of Catholic worshipers, a bombing which would then be blamed on the Arabs, and in this way shift media focus onto the Arabs.
