Shlomo Hillel was only 11 years old when his family moved from Baghdad to Tel Aviv in 1934, and he went on to become one of the legendary builders of the modern State of Israel as a secret agent, diplomat and politician.
After working in a secret munitions factory supplying the Haganah – the precursor to the IDF – during World War II, Hillel was sent back to Iraq undercover on an Iraqi passport, where he used his fluent Arabic, bribes, fake visas and a network of smugglers to move more than 120,000 Jews from Iraq to Israel, the

Shlomo Hillel, a Baghdad-born Israeli operative who in the late 1940s and early 50s used bribes, fake visas and a network of smugglers to move more than 120,000 Jews from Iraq to Israel, died February 8 at his home in Ra anana, Israel. He was 97.
His death was confirmed by his son, Ari, who did not specify a cause.
Hillel was just 23 when the Haganah, a paramilitary organisation in what was then British-controlled Palestine, sent him undercover to Iraq. Jews had lived there for centuries, mostly in harmony with their neighbours, but growing Arab nationalism and anti-Zionist sentiment, including a 1941 pogrom in which several hundred Jews were killed, were making their situation precarious.
