The ne i t n last senate to so yeah, i was single, i was well educated. I think the 6th day would that it was sort of slow to living in new york for a while and i felt that i had no purpose. So i decided id like to help this through the head cook and sent me too big to get information about 3 times. I lived across the street from them and my purpose was to get real time information. When the targets were in their houses the i was no, no, i didnt have any escape my cause of oh it was my escape, the it was a lovely evening and i just like to go back to my apartment and i set the window and i wonder what my parents think if they saw me now the not long as i see a shooting. So it is running in the building in 1973, 3 members of the Palestinian Terrorist group. Black september and palestinian militiaman were killed, an act of reprisal for the munich olympics attack. In 1972, many innocent civilians were among but that it was one of the most brutal and shocking operations by the worlds most controversial, spite agency. The most sought, the, the the 1972 Olympic Games and unit were intended to serve as a demonstration of optimism and democracy. 27 years after world war 2, west germany was keen to present itself in a different light. This is an idea new slash. Early this morning to kind of stood in, guerrillas rated the sleeping quarters of use ready to the gunman, shot dead to his res. I now holding 20 estimates and 6 officials as hostages. The guerrillas are demanding the release of 250. 00 arabs held prisoner and israel. I have said noon as the deadline for their release. Negotiations are going on with a german government. This is an emergency meeting was called immediately your Prime Minister going to me spoke with us about how to proceed with glen jana, telephone cool, john. So the very front he totally wasnt permitted to intervene. The cause phone force is going to allow to operate on german territory offices out of the 5 video by now. The terrorists demanded to be allowed to leave germany with their hostages pretending to comply with this request. The government arranged for the group to be moved to a military airport. But the planned ambush and rescue attempt failed. All athletes were killed and the box shed opperation. There were 11 hostages. 2 were killed in their rooms. 9 were killed at the airport. Tonight. Theyre all gone. Israel was in a state of deep shock. A period of National Morning was declared. The most odd was determined to hunt down those responsible for the munich attack. But many european nations called on israel to desist from carrying out any operation. As a matter of, for those who are we supposed to do then to your opinions, it made it quite clear to leave us out if you will. Conflict with the arabs, no operations on our soil. And golden ware was afraid to jeopardize that cooperation with the europeans, 0 to the surviving terrorists from unique were hailed as heroes in the arab world. They were permitted to leave germany and were neither put on trial nor deported to israel. In the years that followed many special, most od units tracked down the attackers and killed them one by one. The agency left a sense of fear and terror in its wake to which was assigned the operations, such as the for people are liquidators corporate blue. Not sure thats not really what my side is about. The truth, which is what they are just a 1000, a fraction of all this activity. Its into some hope to meet this central task. Some of the most of the agents are quite different. The usually pos here from the mass, from the hot and visual shovels in the 21st century. There isnt such a thing as a classic massage agent for most of the day. There are many faces and different types of people, but one criteria and remains a problem us, you must be mentally robust, but now im in the not because one moment youre breaking the laws of a country and you feel like a license criminal. And so, and then the next a little further back home, probably i know im behaving as little years pure as the driven snow emotion. Theyre fun with you outside of the free she a tional of consented. A candidate could have a long or a short nose, blue or brown eyes. In the end, appearance doesnt matter to them, but one things for sure. You must be good at meticulous planning and thinking on your feet so that you can improvise when necessary to be. You must be disciplined at taking orders and at the same time be able to implement operations independently and alone. For the event, the shape ational side will come with it as an employee, most odd you set out on, on without a pistol or a kalashnikov. No, finally look online and then you end up in extremely complicated situations that you communicate altoff with the help of the body language and the smile you might feel critical. You also need to be able to live convincing natural food on a one. Should a weapon ever be necessary to build a new receive it for the time you really need it . Meaning, what was my life showing you, mr. King . Verifying jungle fighters are out of the question. For me. Look on the not panthers, but slow cautious ellison. See from the they were connecting them. I, you know, they can certainly be obstinate and self confident recorded on no account. Should they be aggressive . Not to me. Can i was commute was an emotional the horses who needs to be honest, a soldier in a combat unit is exposed to fall in great danger the most not agency, but the most that life isnt an easy one, especially as a father of children in the homes and often youll go away for 2 days comes to the end, the end youre away for 3 weeks. Navigating frequent a tricky situation was by, at the, the most of the, most of your deployed world wide to utilize a variety of methods in operations that need to have a 99. 9 percent success rate. Thats very challenging for so who is this the, how is the final ceiling, which now im with my can be named bowler. Mind me piece of the double life is also difficult. Here at home with family and friends and the next day youre sucking me on a mission that there is no relation to regular life. These have to do things that seem totally crazy coffee. One of the 1st and most sensational operations by the most odd was the abduction of one of the architects of the holocaust in europe. Are those ice month each month responsible for the d port taishan of hundreds of thousands of jews to concentration camps had changed his name and gone underground in windows 8 days after the war, acting on tip offs from argentina and germany and of the german attorney general at the time fits bella most odd captured each month in may. 1960 agents waited for iceland on his way home from work ambushed him in the street and brought him to israel. That new china who play movies that we knew from the upset that this would be an operation of huge historic significance has several shots and i one yeah, they got to be overpowered. Eisley eh, i immediately felt his head fish stand. I knew he had 2 scars e as know that i need a 150 and when i phone the scene, i shook my partners had twice. And which version on a. Yeah. And weve got 10. No, no, im not in the most side. Operatives could have killed all those iceland and argentina. But the is really government at the time, live by davi ben, go the own, recognize to the symbolic power of putting the former assets Lieutenant Colonel on trial in israel. And thats precisely what happened in 1961, a german war criminal and the dock in jerusalem. A global sensation and go around how to do so. The pleasure of go said chief is our own plan. The abduction of volume shall be Prime Minister david centurion, health, around in very high steel or got the the iceland. Opperation was certainly the high point of his career level of default. I say, i say shut off with the i spun abduction. The most od wasnt just sewing the seeds of the mystique that surrounded the agency ever since. Israel was also making it clear to the world that the holocaust would not go unpunished. During Court Sessions in jerusalem, the head of most odd was also present. But it was years before the family of how have seen here on the right of the picture would discover that he masterminded the capture absolute secrecy. No public appearances or statements for decades. This was mandatory for anyone involved with most on israel, in circled by arab neighbors, hostile to the fledgling state, didnt want total reliance on us protection in 1960 that had been going on ordered the building of a plant to manufacture weapons, grade plutonium for the construction of a nuclear bomb, the ceiling regional, these stabilization america urged is real to desist from its plants. Most on chief of them also categorically, oppose the demona nuclear project. He feared that if the americans found out it would damage relations between the 2 countries. After initially relieving a live responsibility for the mona program, been going on eventually forced his resignation. Washington was concerned at the deposition of him. When Deputy Defense minister she moaned, pat has visited the white house. He had to field of a rush of tough questions. Regarding the design to president kennedys office, i mean, he was sitting in a rocking chair. I shall not. I took the only co cuz the 1st time id seen him up close. Id sure if you meet the awesome, why did you shock your most at g . So i told him about the round with around the number, the name of the find another question, a mission on this is israel making Nuclear Weapon australia. And i said israel wont be the 1st all the last country in the middle east to make Nuclear Weapons. So the response that i was severely criticized for when i returned home, ill just give out the me block. Theres a few weeks later, this sentence became the official stance of israel on this question. To know the us, which is the most odd, continue to expand its network in the 1970s during the regency of shopping is that possible . Avi Iran Secret Service got along famously with israel. I like the feeds fairly imaginable from todays perspective, bought in iran onto the sha raise popular the israel had an excellent reputation. These rileys were able to travel freely around the country. Every taxi driver knew where the is riley embassy was. She is rarely in defendant state bounties, while unforgettable. They were just fantastic in the Embassy Gardens surrounded by date, palms, and flowers. We celebrated together with the rainy and elite immediate service. But those good relations ended abruptly. When the muslim cleric Ayatollah Khomeini toppled the shot and returned to iran from exile in 1979. The shot had previously asked most odd to assassinate coming, but his request was not met. The shell was forced to flee and died the following year in egypt. The operations in arab countries were often delicate and highly challenging. For most od agents, for the use of product name of the work was very difficult in higher countries, but they primarily when recruiting local agencies will really tell you were regularly playing with dates. Were always wondering whether its a guy was really working for us as a fit joint. Would you blue our cover . Could the people sitting in the coffee also be is people you can never be sure um, but the bulk of the most sod relied on its cooperation with jewish immigrants from arab nations arriving. And israel since the 1950s. People like 8 see boss a lie whose family was from iraq. He knew the language, the customs and practices, and blended in without the need for any disguise. In the 1960 is he was also deployed to iraq itself. His mission to gather information on the mig 21. A soviet finder jet, also used in arab countries, finalized contact with the rocky Fighter Pilot money. A read for was the key to this information. Or, you know, its going to say both of our lives over to me, the not the read for i had many reasons to come over to outside. So yeah, no, not on the one hand he belonged to iraqs repressed christian minorities on the other. And he was expected to fight against the countrys cottage minority, also subjected to a large scale and persecution that he couldnt square that with his conscience. It shocked him as well as israel. The us also wanted to know more about this soviet plane, which was incredibly innovative and powerful by the standards of the day, the most odd planned operation diamond in the summer of 1966 during a training flight money, a red fast flew under the radar to israel for the 1st time ever a mig 21. 00 was in the hands of a western army who possessed the will and was insured. These reillys have a russian make 21, the wasnt james bond, but the meticulously planned action one most of the the operation gave israel the upper hand and what became known as the 6 day war. And a surprise attack by the as rarely air force more than 385 soviet planes were destroyed in egypt alone. The of israel won the war and occupied the Golan Heights the gaza strip. And the west Bank President na, says egypt had been duped. Guinasso died in 1970, he was succeeded by armoire, so dot so dot wanted to negotiate with israel at a stop over into iran. He asked the shot to arrange a meeting a most on age and relate the requests to h q 11 old modem. Them see me letting me, im right from the outset you. So dad wanted a peaceful solution to the conflict, but there was no response to the message from the side of the holy liquor. You must side wasnt authorized to contact him. The medium of the company is real stance on the conflict with egypt and the home had already been made public and the only the Foreign Ministry. And we could have arranged an arbitration name will be at least delay will be from day really a, from a cool little administer at the time i had other ideas. And as a result of the, the Foreign Ministry passed over every opportunity to prevent one of the most horrific morse and the history of his route. So be me, come over to him. If you notice the following, the failure of his Peace Initiative in 1971. So that began planning a war against israel to restore the honor of the Egyptian Army recapture occupied territory and re take the suez canal, which had been closed since the 6 day war. The most od found out about these objectives from one man shop. My want of all people, the son in law of saddams, predecessor of down nasa and a close confidant of the president was cooperating with the israelis most on chief visa near med, more once frequently in london. Ive reached out to me. The dates are usually 15. Our exchange was almost friendly. We drink 4, could together and go deeper and deeper into the material. I looked over and he told me everything he knew in great detail for you. I found out more and more war and every 2nd in his company was worth the cash. We gave a cash revised quarter, cause if shell keep that for the moment you certainly no one said that egypt was planning to start a war against his ryan on the 6th of october, 1973. But that so that would hold the plan. If israel took what he described as a revolutionary step, got ha, i mostly my mazda, my last mom on, couldnt tell me what saddam meant by a revolutionary step. So at the time when i knew for said, i must have egypt was about to launch a wall of old days on yom kippur. Julio, stay in 2 days over by our susie the fleet had to make a quick decision for lunch at the synagogue, to be closed on your proposal that the address is based on the refund wanting from a paid, trying to remember who says that should see. Cuz im a review of this information enough to mobilize beyond me. Hundreds of it is up to yall. She agreed to show me the room that youll see and well just duck my one at all. Ready sounded the alarm and warned of an imminent attack. Twice before, on both occasions, Nothing Happened to these im yours. Hesitation had fatal consequences. When the war did break out, he is released had just 14 hours to mobilize. Just as more want it predicted, more than 240. 00 egyptian jets flew over the suez canal. 2000 the guns open fire on is rarely positions and sign in northern israel. 700 tanks rolled onto the Golan Heights. Israel suffered heavy losses. 7500 soldiers were injured and 300 taken captive. 2600 troops lost their lives. Israel had to dig deep to force the attackers back. The army was left to demoralized. Visa mir faced harsh criticism. The people in the us of the one left on that uh my brother died in the younger poor war. When you knew it could have been prevented if the head of mossad had acted on astro small ones, information for measure grief, turns to anger. We also saw the that apparently its visa me. Yeah. Just to be lead the information in amateurish fashion from a telephone booth. And elaine that was so bad, each cue and his real couldnt initially do quote the rest of the day. But the very last moment in uh, you know, obviously she because of the hate of most sad had no other options. Sure. With the israels, not a 3rd world country. But besides, you know that most sides with a low information like this to just slip through the net, i am convinced of my brothers death and this war could easily be avoided. In 1982, the israeli army invaded level not is really Prime Minister him and ask him begging and to drive out the yellow with a military strike. The Palestinian Liberation Organization had been launching rocket attacks on israel for years from positions along the lebanese border. Defense minister of yale, shot home, once a celebrated general made the operation is priority. The this wonderful mountain air. Its pretty high up here just magnificent. After its expulsion from jordan and 1970, the p l o transferred its headquarters to live alone with its aim of dismantling p a lo structures. Israel interfered in the ongoing lebanese civil war and fanned the flames of conflict and so on. Had previously warned against any intervention, the view and the story that those organizations that have been feeling and mail during our paper for you or somebody else. In addition to these really army and the yellow syrian troops and Christian Lebanese militia were also involved in the fighting. Although the israeli army did not inter, may rude itself, the lebanese capital was under ca. Despite coming under heavy bombardment in the city center, the p a low remains defined. We are here and the Freedom Fries that gave them very important lessons the the show ones have to be cool. To th
