Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'intelligence' (secret/military information) combined with 'information' (collected facts) yields 'secret or confidential information', so the overall sense is derivable from the parts. This construction is straightforward and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both words would understand it (even though in natural usage speakers often just say 'intelligence').
Etymology
Intelligence information comes from the image of spies or agents collecting secret facts, maps, or messages about an enemy. The word intelligence means collected knowledge and information means the facts, so the phrase now means 'secret information' used by armies or governments to learn about threats.
