Israel is reportedly attempting to locate the remains of Eli Cohen, a prominent Mossad agent executed in Damascus in 1965. Cohen, who was portrayed by Sacha Baron Cohen in the 2019 Netflix series 'The Spy', worked undercover for years as an Argentinian-Syrian businessman, gathering intelligence on Syria's military and political landscape and attempting to uncover information about Nazis living in the country. This recent effort, reportedly facilitated through Russian mediators, is part of Israel's long-standing campaign to find and repatriate Cohen's body.
