The Mossad (lit. Institute) is the well-known name of
the Israeli intelligence service. Its full name is HaMosad
LeModi'in U'LeTafkidim Meyuhadim or Institute for
Intelligence and Special Operations and it is the Israeli
eqvivalent of the British MI6 or the American CIA, which in
general sense means that it only operates outside the state
boundaries.

Newspaper Yedioth Aharonot of 31 October 2002 published a
photo showing the Israeli prime minister with the previous and
the new heads of the Mossad. On the right corner of the photo,
one can see part of the Mossad flag. The flag is white, charged
with the Menorah from the state
emblem in blue. There is an inscription in blue above the
emblem which seems to be the Mossad motto (a phrase from the
Bible). The bottom of the flag cannot be seen, but it possibly
bears an inscription with the Mossad name.

According to this Mossad
webpage, their motto is Where no counsel is, the people
fall, but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety
(Proverbs 11, 14).

No, on the flag there was another phrase from Proverbs 24, 6.
In this website
it is translated as For by wise guidance thou shalt make thy
war.
Dov Gutterman, 8 February 2006
At this
website I found what is probably on the flag in modern Hebrew
text.
