“Handlers select specific terrorists they assess will respond positively to an invitation, and engage them in the ‘persona’ of the sheep or goat.”
Tel Aviv, February 27 – Israel’s intelligence agency augmented its achievements this week in the ongoing confrontation with Islamist terrorists, announcing that in addition to foiling a “honeypot” scheme to gain valuable information by the militant group that governs the Gaza Strip, the organization had achieved major success in running exactly the same kind of operation aimed at terrorist operatives, with the added tweak that the doctored images and fake personalities serving as bait offered the targets not friendship with a hot girl, but with livestock.
The Mossad disclosed today that it has achieved significant intelligence breakthroughs in the last several years with the use of the agency’s proprietary Ovinity app and related website, which purports to match users with sheep or goats for romantic purposes. In fact no such matchmaking takes place because the animals only exist as a creation of the app developers, but the numerous downloads of the software to devices within the Gaza Strip and elsewhere have also installed invisible tracking and espionage scripts on those devices, providing Israeli intelligence and decision-makers with valuable information on such sensitive topics as the location and disposition of Hamas fighters and weaponry; militants’ operational plans and tactics; and a near-complete map of the tunnel network Hamas and its allies use to move men and materiel around the territory undetected.
A spokesman for the agency warned he could reveal only a small amount of information regarding Ovinity. “It’s not available to just anyone, for one thing,” he explained, speaking on condition of anonymity under agency media protocols. “Our handlers select specific terrorists they assess will respond positively to such an invitation, and engage them in the ‘persona’ of the sheep or goat.”
“The conversation doesn’t get very far, for obvious reasons,” he continued. “As soon as the mark realizes the impracticality of connecting with the animal of his choice, he usually deletes the app, but that doesn’t affect the spyware already installed in his device. The cameras and microphones remain active without indicating as much to the user, allowing us to gather a wealth of information on Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Resistance Committees, and other violent groups, not just in Gaza.”
The spokesman also volunteered that the idea to use livestock to entrap Hamas operatives romantically has a venerable history within the organization, but that until recent years most people did not have easy access to the technology necessary for the scheme to be implemented on the large scale in currently enjoys. He declined to provide a precise figure for the number of Hamas personnel compromised by their desire for carnal relations with sheep, but noted that a niche function of Ovinity allows the user to seek camels, donkeys, or horses as well.
