A special project to commemorate the late Israeli spy, Eli Cohen, is taking shape these days. As part of the project, landmarks will be established along several kilometers under the name "Eli Cohen Road". The points will be spread between Quneitra and Hamat Gader.
The road connects eight points related to Eli Cohen's activities in the Golan Heights when he carried out the spy mission under the auspices of the Mossad.
At these points Cohen visited, at various events, together with members of the Syrian army.
The unique project works to commemorate him and commemorate his heroic activities for the security of the State of Israel, established in 2015 on the 50th anniversary of Cohen's ascension to the gallows.

The great achievements of the Six Day War: strategic control, control of water resources and a large area for settlement, are attributed in part, to the information it passed on.
