About Our Event: Honoring Eli Cohen & The Mossad
Eli Cohen, was born Eliyahu ben Shaoul Cohen in 1924 in Alexandria Egypt. He became Israel’s most famous Mossad spy who infiltrated the highest ranks of the Syrian military and government by posing as a Syrian businessman. Between 1961 and 1965 Cohen passed Syrian secrets to the Israeli government in what is remembered as one of the most daring and productive intelligence-gathering operations in Israeli history.
