Commemoration time again.
Yep, it's been 45 years since the beginning of Israel's most victorious war.

It began exactly 45 years ago, but when did it end, give or take?

God Bless Eli Cohen, perhaps one of the ballsiest spies in the history of modern espionage.

Meh, must be an arab.. looks like one.

I especially like the story about him touring the Syrian Army sites in The Golan and then writing a scathing report on how the soldiers were suffering suggesting that the army plants trees at the artillery sites to give the soldiers some shade from the sun.

So at the start of the war the Israelis bombed all small tree groves on the golan.

Arab-born Jew.

*This* close to becoming the Syrian Deputy Minister of Defense.  Amazing.

Some of the best spies have photographic memory.  So did the other Greatest Jew That Ever Lived, Moe Berg.
