Mossad reveals how Syrian intelligence tracked down Israeli spy Eli Cohen

According to The Jerusalem Post, “For decades, there has been a debate about whether Cohen, who gave the Mossad significant information about top Syrian officials and armaments from 1961-1965, was caught because his handlers pushed him too hard or he himself took too many risks.” The Jerusalem Post also went on to quote Barnea as having said that he made the contents of the cable public to make it clear that no one was to blame for the capture of Cohen and that even the best of spies do get caught. Barnea called Cohen a legend.
