About This Trend

Eli Cohen was an Egyptian-born Israeli spy known for his espionage work in Syria between 1961 and 1965, where he developed close relationships with the Syrian political and military hierarchy.

He is currently trending due to a secret operation by the Mossad that retrieved around 2,500 documents, photos, and personal items belonging to him from Syria, ahead of the anniversary of his execution in 1965.
