    Did you know that one of the Jewish People’s greatest heroes was an Israeli spy who went by the name of Kamel Amin Thaabet? It sounds unlikely, but this was actually the pseudonym of Mossad agent extraordinaire Eli Cohen who infiltrated the Syrian power elite in the 1960s and used his privileged position to send confidential plans about the country’s military and government back to Israel. His story was even turned into a show by Netflix called The Spy.
    Pretty cool. But how did Eli Cohen become Kamel Amin Thaabet? How did his dangerous work help Israel and what led to his identity finally being revealed?
    In the latest instalment of History of Israel Explained, we bring you the story of the talented Israeli spy who put his country’s safety and security ahead of his own - even though he knew it could ultimately cost him his life.
    What do you think of the story of Eli Cohen? Have you ever thought about just how far someone should be expected to go to protect their homeland or what individuals should be expected to sacrifice for their nation - or even if the nation comes ahead of the individual. Let us know what you think of this question in the comments below.

    Eli Cohen went to unimaginable lengths with only one purpose in his life, serve his country and countrymen. He sacrificed everything that was precious to him. It is truly astonishing to see people going to such an extent when there is threat surrounding at every step. Eli has been given so much respect and love by his people is also very heart touching. That's how one should pay respects to people sacrificing their lives for their country.
    I would like to end with a saying in Hindi, "Eli amar rahe", meaning Long live Eli.

    The first time I tried to watch The Spy, I couldn’t separate Eli from Sacha’s characters, so I didn’t finish the second episode. Time passed and a relative told me enthusiastically that the series was great and the acting too. So, I gave it a second chance and I’m happy I did because it captures you and Sacha does justice to Eli’s story.

    I'm currently reading a book about Mossad's assassinations. At some point it talks about Cohen, his zeal that got him caught and his horrible torture/lynching/execution.
    The latter shocked the agency and his colleagues, the mossad had to take measures in consequence, understandably since he was considered one of the best agent of the mossad at the time. There's clearly a before and an after Eli Cohen in the history of the agency.
    For anyone interested, i can give details on how he got caught, it's a bit more complicated than in the video (according to Ronen Bergman's book ofc).

      it starts out during the palestine era (revenge for pogroms and the likes) and then the OSS (a Jewish bataillon to chase down ex Nazis) before the country starts existing. You'll have then the times like spring of youth, Bayonet, Cohen's story (The Spy is a Netflix series about him btw), or even Skorzeny, the nazi they recruited to counter the neighboring arab states developping missiles with some german engineers help (they were too focused on chasing nazis so they forgot about their neighbors who all hated them).
      I'm currently reading the last days of Golda Meir and how she agreed with her interior or defense minister who insisted for a strike during a hostage crisis which resulted in the terrorists killing around 20 school girls.
      Anyway, it's such an interesting book. I highly recommend it.

      They are defenders of their nation against millions of Arabs who want to eliminate their country - six wars so far for the existence of Israel. They are heroes, and very good at what they do. Weird that dozens of millions of Arabs are utterly incapable of building a secret service anywhere near as good as 6 million Jews created in the form of Mossad. Does their work involve necessary killings to defend their nation? Yes.

    A true hero! How much bravery it takes to live in an enemy country, knowing you could be tortured and killed any day now and finally enduring such torture knowing he would die in this foreign country without ever seeing his family ever again..
    I just wish he wasn't discovered and that he would be able to go back home for good to be with his family, and then living the rest of his life as a living hero. But the Mossad wouldn't let him end his mission because they wanted more information so eventually he would have been caught...
    RIP Eli Cohen. Israel owes you so much.

He arrived in Argentina in 1962, AFTER Cohen had gone and was NOT in power while Cohen was in Syria. He was in fact an interior minister then later served as a member of a ruling council. There is no evidence that Al-Hafiz ever met Cohen except in his prison cell to ask Cohen questions about his FAILED mission.

      a spy that didn't take risks and so brought less important info that he might not get cought but not neccessarly he is the
      greater spy then a spy that brough a lot of important info till he was cought. Eli Cohen brought a supreme info to Israel
      that heped also after hus death sitting 3 years inside the lion mouth. in fact we can't know who is the best spy ever because
      we don't know who are those that did not get cought and what info did they brought but Eli Cohen is a candidate inspite he
      was cought.
