Military Intelligence Division, Government intelligence agency in Damascus, Syria
The Military Intelligence Division is a government agency operating from Damascus that handles the gathering and analysis of intelligence information. It maintains multiple specialized branch offices across the country, each working in areas such as technical operations and field activities.
The division was established in 1969, replacing an earlier intelligence office known as the Deuxième Bureau. This founding occurred during a period when the Syrian military underwent significant structural changes.
The division maintains extensive networks of informants and analysts who gather intelligence about military activities both within Syria and neighboring countries.
Access to this government facility is not public and not available to visitors. Information about its locations and operations is highly restricted for security reasons.
During Syria's presence in Lebanon, the division exercised substantial control over political affairs until the Cedar Revolution in 2005.
