Background Information
Some of the Mossad’s Many achievements include:
- The capture of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi, enabling the Israeli courts to being him to justice.

Golan heights , which subsequently captured.Israel - The discovery and destruction of the Iraqi nuclear reactor, which later prevented the threat of a nuclear attack during the Gulf War.
II. Games – any chasing or spying games can easily relate to this topic. Here are a few suggestions:
- Streets and Allies: From Shabbat Games, Active Section, p. 32 (have the enemy chase the Mossad Agent.)
- Telephone: Each chanich whispers the same message to the next, see how the final message differs from the original. This is a classic game about the difficulty of passing accurate messages, one of the major problems facing secret agents.
- Switch: From Shabbat Games, Quiet Section, p. 95. (A game which requires quiet and deception. See if your Mossad agent can detect the movement of the enemy..)
- I Spy: Another classic game requiring thought and deduction, two important criteria for an agent.

An accident had betrayed Eli Cohen. The operator at the nearby Indian embassy had complained that an unknown transmitter was interfering with his messages. “Unknown “ could mean only one thing – a spy. Syrian police cruised the area with listening equipment until finally, on a night when there was an electricity blackout and few sets were operating, they traced the signal to the house of Amin Kamil Taabes.
The Syrians hanged Eli Cohen as a spy in May 1965.
Two years later his lonely sacrifice paid off. The Six Day War broke out, and Israeli planes attacked the
