The life and death of Israeli spy Eli Cohen, who operated undercover in Syria in 1960s before his identity was revealed.
In one of the most audacious individual espionage operations ever, Eli Cohen, an Egyptian-born Jewish accounting clerk, was recruited by Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, trained intensively as a field agent for six months and given a new identity as an Arab businessman in South America.
