 This is the story of an Israeli agent, Eli Cohen, who promoted Israeli causes in Egypt and Syria and fooled the Arabs for nearly twenty years. In 1954, Lavon forged documents to leaveHe was a member of the Jewish organization Affair.

At that time, Egypt was under the shadow of the British government, but very soon the British government was going to leave Egypt, which meant that it would hand over all its weapons to the Egyptian government. Israel was afraid that Egypt, the largest military power, would And the worst enemy of Israel should not attack it and the Arabs of 1948Do not avenge the defeat. In order to prevent the British from leaving Egypt, they started a secret bombing of the British bases in Egypt and terrorism against them so that the British would stop by thinking that Egypt is now carrying out terrorism within its own country. Unstoppable. But all the members of the conspiracy were arrested, including Eli Cohen, who was later released. In 1957, he moved to Israel and after doing small jobs for a few days, he was made an agent by the Israeli intelligence agency AMAN. Reduce the water going and Israel to the Negev desertStop carrying water. In AMAN, Cohen was trained in all kinds of espionage and learned the teachings of the Koran and Islamic knowledge from an Arab sheikh. Eli Cohen was given the name Kamal and the father's name was Amin Tabat. Full name Kamal Amin Tabat. He was traded with his relatives in ArgentinaA businessman was told and his friendship was made with the Arabs there. He proved to be a successful businessman and was helped to mingle well with the Arabs. Now he was given a passport of the country of Syria and was instructed to increase his friendship with the Syrian Arabs as much as possible and keep coming to their gatherings and give maximum financial support to their welfare institutions. Arabs' gatherings became a revelry. He spewed poison against Israel in every gathering and incited the Syrian Arabs to work against Israel and proved that he was the greatest enemy of Israel. In one such gathering he met a famous The editor of the Syrian newspaper Abd al-Latif will be from Hasan and Cohen himself is known as a Syrian nomadCohen's generosity brought him close to the Syrian Arabs and institutions and he started receiving invitations from Syrian embassies. The three of us became close friends. Cohen, like a successful businessman, spent so much on both of them and gave them gifts that both were grateful to Kamal. One day Kamal came to his friend Hasan's office on the instructions of his masters from Israel and said that he was fed up with Argentina and did not want to go and settle in Syria, for which he was recommended by some powerful people in Syria. I want letters. Hasan happily wrote four letters of recommendation. Similarly, he also asked othersTake recommendation letters to Syrian powerful and influential people. He first went to Zurch and then to Israel and after receiving more training from there, he came to Zurch and Syria with a Syrian passport. At the same time, the government continued to be overthrown every few days in the country of Syria, and at one time Syria and Egypt were united and named the United Arab Republic, but this union was broken on 28.9.1961 in Munich, Germany. Cohen was given transmitter equipment and code books, but he had a questionto be taken inside without any hindrance because more checking was done at every airport. Therefore, instead of an airplane, he was taken to the Syrian border by sea ship S.S.Astoria and there another spy, Majeed Sheikh Alard, bribed him at the waypoint in his car and brought him inside Damascus on 10.1.1962. If Cohen wanted, He could have lost himself in the Syrian crowd, but he didn'tBecause he wanted to be seen, recognized and befriended by everyone. He rented a beautiful bungalow near the Syrian military headquarters and hid all his transmitting equipment in the rooms. Here, because of these letters, he met Syrian officers and It happened to the politicians in such a way that they are wealthy Syrian patriotsAnd he is loyal to the country and a staunch enemy of Israel who is always ready to sacrifice his wealth for the country. Cohen has included Syrians in his import-export business and has not been giving maximum profits. Actually, this profit was given by the Israeli government. Cohen built a public canteen to give food and clothes to poor Syrians and took all its financial needs on his head and started helping other welfare organizations financially. Thus, he became famous and popular in all Syrian circles. Here he met George Salim Saif, the head of Syrian broadcasting. George was actually an Israeli agent himself. Cohen began to visit Europe and other foreign countries to prove himself as a big businessman. First of all, he reported the chaos in the Syrian army and the attempt of the Baath Party to come to power. On 8.3.1963, through the Baath Party revolution, Hafiz al-Batar became the President of Syria and Hafiz al-Assad the Defense Minister. Hafeez Al Asdawar Cohen was a friend from Argentina. Assad and Cohen were close friends in Argentina. In July 1963, Hafez al-Assad became president of Syria, and Cohen's friends were given ministerial posts. Now Cohen has become an accomplice of the inner circles of the government. There are and they fight each other by creating distance between them. Cohen's achievement is one(This is a small sample while there are countless such cases all around us). Cohen gave a huge party for the success of Hafiz al-Assad, all the top military officers and politicians were present. The president of Syria himself was also present. Cohen gave valuable gifts to all the guests. In a room, Syrian officers began to discuss military strategy. Cohen also participated and continued to participate in every subsequent meeting. . Cohen was also made a member of the propaganda missionary on the Syrian radio. Now Cohen gave Israel all the military secrets of Syria, orders, strategies, names of senior officers, the weapons that Syria has and their hideouts and bases, their determinations, etc. Something started to be transmitted. At one point he also came when a military general said to CohenCohen is the only person who has all the secret information of the Syrian military because the military and politicians trust him completely. 

When did things go wrong, some say India and some say Russia, radio transmissions began to malfunction again and again. 

Colonel Ahmed of the Syrian army, while giving an interview to a Lebanese newspaper, claimed that he was in doubt about Kamal Amin long ago, I had started monitoring him, but I also had an eye on all the people who came to him. I personally discovered his transmitter aerial on the roof of his house. We checked his mail for a long time and taped his telephone calls. From his list of VIP friends, I realized that he is a dangerous Israeli spy. But maybe this colonel was telling a white lie. This dramatic arrest was completely an accident, a coincidence. He had nothing to do with Col Swedani's covert surveillance, nor did he commit any such wrongdoing."

"Incidentally, the Indian embassy was located near Cohen's residence. Its radio operators had been continuously complaining for months that someone was disrupting their normal radio communications with Delhi. The concerned department of Syria, following the request of the Indian Embassy, tried their best, but in the absence of modern equipment, they failed to trace the illegal broadcast. Finally, he requested help from the experts of the Russian Secret Service (KGB) based in Damascus. The Russians immediately started searching the streets around the Indian embassy with the help of a modern machine Mobile radio direction finder. Finally around midnight they caught Ellie on their broadcast. But they were of such short duration that it was not possible to determine their direction. Finally, after a lot of struggle, the Russian experts marked two buildings and said that this series starts from one of them. Ely to his residence among them

It was in a building. Officials of the Syrian Secret Service started searching for him. Eli Cohen was busy with his work completely unaware of the accident. Two days before his arrest, he texted Tel Aviv that he was having trouble broadcasting his messages due to repeated unexpected power breakdowns. He operated his transmitter with the help of batteries in the absence of electricity."

"When he suddenly fell, there was a power cut in his area that day as well. He was forced to use batteries for his broadcasts. It was now very easy to discover him. Because of the absence of electricity in the entire area, there was no radio on, and if there was, it was only Eli Cohen's, who was walking with the help of a shackle. After the building was correctly identified, the Russians informed the Syrian Intelligence Service

(Counter-Intelligence) men were asked to search the roof of the building. There was a jungle of TV antennas, but after a bit of searching, they discovered a single rustic wire under the common TV wire attached to an antenna that ran straight into the light bulb of Eli Cohen's flat. was."

"Colonel Ahmed Swedani reported this discovery to the President on Four Wireless. President Hafiz was very upset to hear the news. He could not believe that Kamal Amin, his long-time friend, could be an Israeli spy. He also said that He was also extremely afraid that the opposition could take advantage of this incident. Colonel Swedani suggested to the President that Cohen should be kept under surveillance for a few days so that the rest of his colleagues can be arrested, but the President said no, take him into custody immediately, but the news of the arrest is currently under wraps. be kept Swedani when breaking the door

When he entered his flat, he grabbed Eli Cohen by the neck and said, "The piglets have finally come to us, now tell me who you are, what is your real name, and which country are you a spy for?" "My name is Kamal Amin," Eli Cohen said with great satisfaction, untying his neck with one hand

And I came here after migrating from Argentina. Well, I will find out. The colonel growled and said, "Wait a minute, you will die in my hands, but before that you will give up everything." You will hand over all your secrets to us. You will tell the names of all your accomplices. You will wish that it would be good if there were no births in this world. While the colonel was yelling angrily, his other colleagues were searching the flat. After a while, a police officer said in a loud voice that he had found the second transmitter as well. In addition, they also found large quantities of powerful explosives and cyanide tablets hidden in bath soap. Colonel pointed to the explosive material and asked for what purpose you kept it. Eli Cohen said in a low voice, "It was not for sabotage, but to destroy these transmitters in case of danger." In three days, the security forces ransacked Cohen's flat. Dozens of men broke its roof, walls and floor. The couches and beds were torn apart, the new furniture sawed off, they were looking for more intelligence material and a list of people who were the union's accomplices in crime. He did not do any violence on Cohen during this period. Only the colonel along with one of his colleagues Adnan continued to shower questions on him for several hours. Where are your transmitters? He replied that I had these two my work with them

It was running well, there was no need for a third one. The colonel then told him to re-establish his contact with Tel Aviv and start sending them messages, but this time Cohen had a message written by Colonel Swedani. They actually wanted to stop the Mossad in this way and see what kind of additional information they demanded from their agents. Cohen obeyed the order and did what the Syrians wanted. Around it

Three or four radio experts were also on hand to carefully check his special code stem, but one important thing that the Syrian experts could not decipher was the specific speed at which Cohen tapped out the message, which was predetermined between his headquarters. wasAs soon as Cohen changed his pace, there was an uproar at Mossad headquarters. They had received a signal that their spy had finally been caught. After some time, a reply was received from Tel Aviv, your message has been received. Colonel Swedani asked Cohen to broadcast the message several times asking him to give me more orders, but each time he received the same phrase from Tel Aviv, "Message received."

Meanwhile, the headquarters of the Mossad was in chaos. Operators in the communications department kept playing tapes of his message over and over again. The Mossad chief was hurriedly summoned from home. Cohen's transformation into the taping room was a clear signal that his spy career was over and that the worst violence awaited him."

"At night, the Mossad chief broke the news to Prime Minister Levi Eshkol. He was fast asleep in his bedroom at the time. He was woken up by his wife Maryam and told him the news. The next morning, the colonel sent another coded message to Cohen. He said: A reply was received from Tel Aviv that your night and morning message has been received, but it is not understood. Send again this evening but Cohen knew. In fact, in this sentence, Tel Aviv was telling him to use his intelligence

Keep your senses under control and see what happens next. Colonel Swedani was thinking that the headquarters of Mossad has come under the spell of his trick. He was in the mood to continue this project of radio deception for weeks. But President Amin Al-Hafiz wanted to end this game as soon as possible because he was afraid of Colonel Swedani that he could make this incident a scandal and spread it against him. The President ordered that he be immediately transferred to the prison of the military headquarters. goFinally on January 24, Colonel Swedani asked Eli Cohen to send one last message, which went something like this,

"You were the Prime Minister of Israel & the Chief of Secret Service in Tel Aviv. Kamal & Huss are friends. 

and Guest in Damascus. You will hear and hear from me. Sigand: There were

Counter-esponage Service of Sierra."

A few moments later, this letter, which arrived from Damascus, was lying on Prime Minister Levi Eshkol's desk. An hour later, Radio Damascus broadcasted the news of the arrest of the Israeli spy. While the Mossad chief was worried by this news, many Syrians holding important positions in Damascus were worried about their lives. In order to save his close friends and himself, the President sent Colonel Salim Hatim and Salh to interrogate Eli Cohen. Colonel Sawidani was not happy about the arrival of these two officers as he intended to make political gains out of the incident. Few

Hours later, the President himself reached the military headquarters and the prisoner was presented before him. The President did not need any introduction. The person standing in front of him

It was the same Argentinian Arab whom he had befriended in Buenos Aires and trusted him so much as to call him Damascus. This person had come to the presidential palace many times as his personal guest. He considered him as a brother, he had infiltrated the power house so much that he was going to become the country's defense minister in a few days."

"For a moment the two men looked at each other in silence, then Eli Cohen broke the silence and said in a booming voice,

"Am Eli Cohen from Tel Aviv, a Soldier in the Israeli Army."

President Al-Hafiz later said in an interview to a newspaper, "I personally interviewed this prisoner. At first my security service thought he was a real Arab Muslim who was sent by Israel to spy on us. 

But I guessed by the color of his eyes that he was a staunch Jew, then I asked him to recite the prayer, but he failed to do so."

"After that, everything that happens when a spy is captured, one of the worst tortures Eli Cohen had to go through. After Eli Cohen's arrest, the police detained about five hundred Syrian men and women. . Among these people were government secretaries, air hostesses and call girls who used to frequent Cohen's flat. Moaz Zaheeruddin, George Saif and other top personalities were also arrested by the police overnight from their homes and thrown in jail."

"In order to save the life of its agent, Israel made a great effort on the world stage. The Israeli Prime Minister said, "Modern and civilized countries do not kill spies. They release them in exchange for their arrested spies or by keeping them in prison for some time

Released quietly."

"Israel stepped up efforts at the political and diplomatic level, appealing to ambassadors, businessmen and heads of state of various countries to put pressure on Syria. One of the vans was about to be tried in a special military court. Time was running out. And Israel was trying hard to save his life. Prominent lawyers from several countries requested Syria to let them appear on behalf of Eli Cohen. 

Two French lawyers even reached Damascus. He wanted to sit in this process as an observer. One of these lawyers, Mercier Jacques, prosecuted several nationalist Algerian leaders in France."

"All the proceedings of the trial were held in camera. Selected parts of the interrogation were also seen on television."

"On May 8, the court sentenced him to death for the crime of espionage. His accomplice Moaz Zahiruddin was sentenced to five years in prison with hard labor. After the court's decision, Israel intensified its efforts to save Ali Koen's life. do . Nadia went to Paris, where she met with Syrian travel in the Syrian embassy and pleaded to save her husband's life, but the ambassador expressed his disability. Pope John Paul, Queen Elizabeth, the Canadian Prime Minister, the International Red Cross and dozens of other organizations and individuals appealed to the Syrian authorities for mercy. Cardinal Alfredo, a Christian monk from Buenos Aires who was himself on his deathbed, appealed in a letter to President Al-Hafiz that the dying

Eli Cohen should be pardoned as the last wish of a sick person. Israeli radio announced a list of several captured Syrian spies

And offered that all of them will be killed in exchange for Cohen. A French doctor, Morris, who performed a complex kidney operation on President Amin Al Hafez a few months ago, wrote a letter to the President. 

"In tha name of tha life a hoe gon yu, ask yu to spray ale kohen"

Even the Suvait block was appealed in a subdued language that "To be reasonable". 

But Damascus closed its ears to the whole world. The main reason for this was the powerful spirit of revenge that was created here against Israel. Cohen had harmed this country to a terrible extent, but also destroyed all the plans and ambitions of Syria, according to which they did not want to destroy Israel. For example, just six months ago in November 1964, Israeli mortars and artillery suddenly attacked the water project on the Jordan River in Syria. They only fired a few rounds and returned to their base, because Eli Cohen had provided such detailed information and maps of the plan that the Israelis had an hour to destroy Syrian bulldozers, pump stations, and other installations. No, it just happened. In the evening the whole project had to be postponed and the Yugoslav firm

It went back after losing millions of dollars."

A French military officer, who was also a personal friend of the president, arrived in Damascus on a special flight. He came to buy Eli Cohen's life. In his pocket was a check for a million dollars and a letter in which there was a promise of a large number of tractors, bulldozers, medical equipment and ambulance vehicles for Syria. President Hafiz did not allow this French officer to interfere in the presidential process. When the secret of the financial offer was somehow revealed, newspapers around the world dubbed Cohen the Billion Dollar Spy. When this plan of Israel also failed, the advisers advised the Israeli Prime Minister to attack Syria directly, but this plan was also rejected. At ten o'clock in the night on the seventeenth of May, the radio station announced that the criminal would be hanged on Chowk Shaheed very soon. This square was traditionally famous for this work. That night, in the midst of great anxiety, Israel contacted Vita Cam on the telephone. The Pope was asleep at that time, but his vice-cardial promised that he would wake the Pope up and tell him everything. So that he appeals to Damascus once again. Meanwhile, that is why French President De Gaulle also woke up and requested mercy from President Amin on the phone, but Israel's every effort was met with failure. On the 18th of May, at two o'clock in the morning, the heavy iron doors of Al-Muza prison in Damascus were opened with a shock. In the bright headlights of the truck, four armed soldiers were seen surrounding a prisoner. While walking towards the truck, Eli Cohen suddenly stumbled and fell. He was dragged onto a truck. He was now disabled from walking."

At Shahada Chowk, he was allowed to write a letter to his wife. He wrote,

"To my dear wife Nadia and family, I ask you to remain united. I beg Nadia to forgive me. I ask you to take care of your self & the childrens and to make sure that they are brought up correctly. Look after yourself & see that the children lack for nothing. Stay on good terms with my family. I want you to remarry so that children will not grow up fatherless. I give you total freedom to do so. I beg of you not to waste time crying for me. Always think of the future. I send my last kisses to you, Sophie, Iris & Shaul, as well as the rest of the family. Don't forget to pray for t

Memory of my father and my soul. So all of you list me kisses & shalom. 

Eli Cohen: 18.05.1965

The guards told Eli Cohen to walk to the square. The center of the square was illuminated by floodlights from all sides, thousands of men, women and children had gathered to witness the execution. Many women of wealthy classes were wearing expensive jewelry and furcoats. There was a deep silence on the crowd, police and army commandos marched on all the buildings around the square

were taken Officials of secret agencies were also roaming in the crowd. On the other hand, in view of a possible Israeli attack, the guard was also tightened on the borders. Eli Cohen refused to be supported by anyone while climbing the gallows. The journalists present on the spot saw that his face had turned very yellow. Abu Salim was the official executioner of Damascus. He covered Eki Cohen's head and face in a bag and tied his hands behind his back. Moments later, the executioner pulled the plank from under his feet. With that, Eli Cohen's work was done. It was 3:35 am at that time."

"A large poster detailed his death sentence in Arabic. He was buried with his body. Over the next six hours, thousands of people passed by his swinging body. Damascus TV intermittently reported the execution. was broadcasting this scene of Eli Cohen was buried in the Jewish cemetery in Damascus. Jews worshiped for his soul in all the synagogues of Israel. 

Nadia said while giving an interview to foreign journalists. Perhaps no country in the world can do so much for its agent as much as our government did to find my husband. Eli Cohen's last letter to Nadia was delivered through diplomatic channels. She tried to follow her husband's will except remarry. He still has that letter with him today. In a very private gathering, Mossad officials gathered in memory of their late agent, Mir Amit, the new head of the agency, said in a short speech.
