Eli Cohen wasn’t playboy-spy, who spent money of Mossad to make friendships with high-ranking Syrian officials in order to obtain information. Eli Cohen was lonely and modest soldier sent on enemy territory on risky mission. If Eli Cohen really make at least one fatal mistake and was caught because of it, it was inevitable end for a man who worked (too) long under very hard conditions.
