Скачать или смотреть Mossad Operations: Egypt’s Biggest Star Turned Secret Spy

In the mid-1970s, Mossad pulled off one of the most improbable human intelligence operations in Middle Eastern history: the recruitment of Egypt’s most beloved movie star. Layla Nazmi—an icon whose fame opened doors to generals, ministers, and military elites—became an unwitting gateway into the heart of Cairo’s power structure. What no one knew was that Layla carried a private grief that made her vulnerable, a wound Mossad understood better than the Egyptian officials who trusted her.
Behind the elegant dinners, premieres, and palace receptions, Layla moved among men who shaped Egypt’s military strategy—men who spoke freely in front of her because they never imagined she might be listening for more than gossip. Mossad saw what Cairo didn’t: a star with access no spy could ever achieve, and a woman torn between loyalty to her country and the personal loss the October War had carved into her life. What began as a recruitment pitch disguised as a film collaboration turned into one of the most controversial intelligence coups ever attempted.
For two years, Layla’s insights flowed straight into Mossad headquarters, influencing Israeli assessments during a period when Egypt’s political future hung in the balance. Yet beneath the operational triumph lay a darker truth: intelligence services had weaponized her grief, turning a national icon into an informant whose emotional wounds were never meant to heal. This is the story of how glamour, tragedy, and betrayal collided in one of Mossad’s most daring psychological operations.
