The Mossad’s Secret Weapon

In my book The Hell of Osirak, the antagonist (this is giving away a spoiler!) is Dvora Bar Zahavi, an agent for the Mossad.

This may seem strange, but it turns out there are actually many women that are working for the Mossad, the national intelligence agency of Israel. These women risk their lives every day for the sake of the country’s national security—and it’s certainly not as glamorous as movies might have led you to believe!

 

Every day, these courageous women leave everything they know—their home, their family, and most notably, their safety—to put their lives on the line for Israel. Of course, it might sound strange, but that’s the point. After all, these intelligent women are capable of many disguises. Who would suspect a poor beggar woman to have any suspicious motives?

 

Some women choose wildly different disguises—a top executive, for example—to make themselves appear flirtatious and desirable. Their enemies, of course, are unable to resist, giving these clever women the opportunity to take full advantage.

 

In today’s feminist society, this behaviour may at first seem shocking and degrading to most of us, but opinions soon change when people come to realise just how much they must face on a daily basis.

The careers of these women are far from normal, but the truth is that the vast majority are very successful at their jobs — in fact, they’re even more successful than their male counterparts.

Their sheer strength and integrity are not something to ever be underestimated.
