The true story of Eli Cohen who inspired new Netflix series The Spy, had 17 lovers and got into pockets of powerful men by throwing wild sex parties
WITH his fingernails ripped out and his body bloodied and raw after hours of brutal torture, a crowd of 10,000 men cheered as Eli Cohen stepped into his noose.
He went on to help a secret Israeli intelligence unit operating in Egypt and in 1956 he went to Israel where he tried to join Mossad — the elite Israeli intelligence service. When he got to Damascus in 1962, he quickly established himself as a flashy social butterfly who enjoyed the company of women and fine wine at swanky dinner parties, and he was generous with his huge riches.
During the tour, Cohen suggested to an army officer that they should plant eucalyptus trees in key places to give troops shade and hide military fortifications from the Israelis. But the intelligence he'd been sending Mossad was just too valuable and they ordered him to go back one last time.This astonishing picture shows Cohen in the middle at the Golan Heights with two friends from the Syrian military - this was one of the most important military sites in SyriaThe Six-Day War was a violent clash between Israel and Arab forces from Egypt, Syria and Jordan.
They called in the help of elite Russian agents who brought specialist radio equipment to the Middle East. A huge campaign was launched by the international community to spare him — even Pope Paul VI tried to prevent the hanging.
