The Impossible Spy - Film
Eli Cohen successfully entered the upper echelons of the Syrian government as an undercover Mossad agent under the alias of Kamai Amin Ta’abet from 1962 until his exposure and public execution on May 18, 1965.
During these three years, he infiltrated the Ba’ath Party and its regime with such brilliance forming close ties with all its leaders, including Syrian President Amin el Hafiz. The secrets he obtained and passed on to Israel proved crucial to Israel’s victory in the Six-Day War, especially in Israel’s capturing of the Golan Heights.
