Red Sea Spies
Red Sea Spies: The True Story of Mossad's Fake Diving Resort | Raffi Berg
2 posts | 1 read | 1 reading | 7 to read
THE TRUE STORY THAT INSPIRED THE NETFLIX FILM THE RED SEA DIVING RESORT. In the early 1980s on a remote part of the Sudanese coast, a new luxury holiday resort opened for business. Catering for divers, it attracted guests from around the world. Little did the holidaymakers know that the staff were undercover spies, working for the Mossad the Israeli secret service. Providing a front for covert night-time activities, the holiday village allowed the agents to carry out an operation unlike any seen before. What began with one cryptic message pleading for help, turned into the secret evacuation of thousands of Ethiopian Jews who had been languishing in refugee camps, and the spiriting of them to Israel. Written in collaboration with operatives involved in the mission, endorsed as the definitive account and including an afterword from the commander who went on to become the head of the Mossad, this is the complete, never-before-heard, gripping tale of a top-secret and often hazardous operation.

A real life spy story and riveting tale of audacity, bravery, daring & brains. From the late 1970‘s until April 1985 the Israeli Mossad secretly operated in Sudan smuggling out 7054 Ethiopian Jews who were facing famine, abject poverty and extinction and brought them to Israel (Zion), a land the Jews of Ethiopia dreamed of one day returning to. It‘s a wild story and all completely true. Such an amazing piece of history. #nonfictionnovember
