The Israel Defense Forces' Intelligence Directorate (Aman) is undergoing a significant overhaul of its mission and values, aiming to learn from past failures. According to IDF sources, the primary mission of providing early warning against threats to Israel and its citizens has been elevated to the top priority. The directorate has also identified four core values: responsibility, professionalism, humility, and truth.
Over the past two years, Aman has updated its warning doctrine, validated existing warning models, and developed new ones. Warning rooms at all levels and across all fronts have been strengthened, advanced training programs have been implemented, and a multi-regional, multi-disciplinary warning operations room has been established to create a unified intelligence picture connected to the field.
The relocation of the Intelligence Directorate to a unified base in the Negev is described as a catalyst for change and growth. The IDF views this move not merely as an infrastructure project but as a strategic, technological, operational, and human initiative. Establishing a consolidated base is expected to significantly enhance inter-unit intelligence cooperation and foster national prosperity by strengthening the connection between Aman and the local community.
