Eli worked in the Mashbir department store, as an accountant, but it was a very boring job for him. Eli studied at a local Jewish community school and then attended the 'University of Alexandria' to study electrical engineering. He told me very deep and I understood that there was no chance. He dedicated his life to teaching children, who did not receive an education. Eli came, for his last time, to the birth of my only son, Shai, and life was very difficult for me because I stopped talking. [20] In August 2008 Monthir Maosily, the former bureau chief of the late Syrian leader Hafez al-Assad, said that Eli Cohen's burial site is unknown, claiming that the Syrians buried the executed Israeli spy three times, to stop the remains from being brought back to Israel via a special operation. The Mossad recruited Cohen after Director-General Meir Amit, looking for a special agent to infiltrate the Syrian government, came across his name while looking through the agency's files of rejected candidates, after none of the current candidates seemed suitable for the job. He had seventeen lovers in Syria, all dazzling beauties with a fair degree of family power. However, Eli's loyalty was scrutinized, and he faced harassment by the 'Muslim Brotherhood.' His training involved many things, like changing his dialect from the Egyptian dialect to the Syrian dialect. He was forced to leave Iraq because he led an underground leftist communist group in Iraq that was active against the regime. Before leaving, Cohen assured his wife that there would only be one more trip before he returned permanently.[3]. I was born in Iraq into an educated family. The children could not react to Eli’s absence. It was completely different but he was happy, as if G‑d gave him a right to be happy. I saw the ghost of a man who had a phenomenal success, who was happy. In 1964, Cohen secretly returned to his home in Bat Yam for the birth of his third child. The children never felt they had a father. Then one day he came back from the Mossad, completely different. In November 1965, Cohen's wife, Nadia sent a letter to Hafez al-Assad and asked his forgiveness for Eli's actions, hoping to receive remains of her husband. For two weeks he was put under surveillance, and was judged suitable for recruitment and training. Expurgating Josephus in the High Middle Ages? But I did open them.

One day he was sitting in Saif's office reading a classified document while the Syrian was on the phone. I did not think that I was cooperating with him and that later on he would disappear. It was a very difficult time to find work and receive managerial positions, despite being well educated, due to being new immigrants from Arabic countries. I was pregnant with her and Eli told me that he was fired from the Mashbir department store. It also involved a stranger - a Mossad member - who entered into our house, sat in our home three or four times a week, and was an expert on Islamic prayers. That is how we grew up. Cohen made repeated visits to the southern frontier zone, providing photographs and sketches of Syrian positions. Offended, he resigned from military counterintelligence and took up a clerical job in a Tel Aviv insurance office. In December 1956, the ‘Jewish Agency’ assisted Eli to deport to Israel in a vessel. What he told me was that the operation he was involved in was to try to create a scenario whereby should the Arab states buy specific types of weapons, Israeli scientists would be able to cause them to malfunction. On April 15, 2019, a few Israeli news agencies published unconfirmed reports of Eli's remains being recovered in Syria and stated that the remains were with a Russian delegation. In November 1965, Eli's wife wrote to Syrian leader Hafez al-Assad, requesting him to send Eli’s remains back to Israel. Then Eli told me that it would be better off that I don’t ask questions or talk to that man, or approach him, but rather keep my distance, and so whenever he would come I would go for walks with Sophie in the neighbourhood. [6][16][17] In addition to providing loans to government officials and acting as an avid host, he was asked for advice by government officials, who were often intoxicated by the alcohol he freely provided. The intelligence he gathered is claimed to have been an important factor in Israel's success in the Six Day War. Eli was brutally tortured and interrogated before he was publicly hanged on May 18, 1965, at the ‘Marjeh Square’ in Damascus. Details of his espionage tactics are classified and most probably will never be revealed to public. In the process, Eli became the chief advisor to the Syrian defense minister. In August 2008, Assad's former bureau chief, Monthir Maosily, revealed that Eli had been buried thrice and that Israel would never receive his body. He assured his wife that there would only be one more trip before he returned permanently. I felt he was something exceptional. Sacha Baron Cohen-led limited series “The Spy” — which comes out today on Netflix — tells the true story of how famed Israeli Mossad agent Eli Cohen went undercover in 1960s Syria.
