Now, there is a public debate in Israel about what exactly happened to the longtime spy at the time, and why he was executed. People questioned whether Cohen had overworked as a result of his handlers asking too much of him, prompting him to send too many messages from Damascus, which were intercepted by the Syrians.

Israel considered Cohen a valuable asset, given that he was active in Syria. Cohen arrived in the Arab country in January 1962, disguised as Arab "Kamel Amin Thabet." He resided in the capital, Damascus, where he supplied the Israeli secret service agency, the Mossad, with important information about the Arab nation.
