    Published on

    What it’s about:

    A captivating new exhibit celebrating the life and achievements of Mossad spy Eli Cohen is about to open at the Eli Cohen Museum in Herzliya. This attraction is designed to give visitors an unparalleled glimpse into the life of one of Israel’s most esteemed and influential espionage figures.

    Why it matters:

    Eli Cohen’s mission and sacrifice changed the course of history and played a critical role in Israel’s defense strategies. The exhibit honors his legacy, providing insight into the life of a man whose bravery and intelligence gathering made a significant impact on national security.

    In detail:

    The Herzliya Municipality announced that the exhibit will detail Cohen’s life journey through three different chronological perspectives: his personal life, professional career, and his operational contributions. This comprehensive display will use state-of-the-art multimedia including holograms, animations, and access to previously undisclosed Mossad documentation.

    Visitors will embark on an interactive experience beginning with Cohen’s roots and family heritage, tracing back to his ancestors in Spain and his birthplace in Egypt. Personal accounts, including insights from his wife, Nadia, will bring to life the human aspects of his incredible journey.

    The exhibition majestically reconstructs Cohen’s mission in Damascus with authentic artifacts and new documentation. Visitors will relive moments of Cohen’s espionage endeavors, portrayed with immersive holographic technology illustrating his dual existence as a Syrian businessman and an Israeli operative.

    The journey ends with a moving film presentation capturing the essence of Cohen’s courageous exploits and ultimate sacrifice for Israel’s national security.

    Eli Cohen’s operations in Syria:

    Renowned for his daring infiltration into the highest echelons of the Syrian government and military, Eli Cohen’s intelligence contributions from 1961 to 1965 were invaluable to Israel. Tragically captured, Cohen was executed in Damascus in 1965, yet his legacy endures as a beacon of bravery and dedication.
