Score: 4.82

Israel is a land that is considered holy by Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike, and has been a battle-ground for nearly a century now. Surrounded by enemy states, Israel founded Mossad in 1949, its elite spy agency, which, over the decades, has become one of the most potent intelligence agencies in the world. The agency has received recognition for its operations on overseas territories to destroy anti-Jewish plots and hunt out enemies of Israel. According to Yahoo, Mossad agents have carried out assassinations of scientists that were involved in nuclear programs of both Iraq and Iran, and also took out all suspects that were behind the attacks on Israeli athletes in Munich during the 1972 Olympic Games.
