How Mossad Hid a Special Ops Team in a Street Festival Crowd to Kill a Syrian General

The annual Damascus Spring Flower Festival in April 1985 drew 50,000 people to the city's historic old quarter—including Syrian military intelligence chief General Faisal Mustafa, who attended with his wife and bodyguards. Embedded among the festival performers were three Mossad operatives: one disguised as a street musician, one as a flower vendor, and the third as a photographer. At exactly 3:47 PM, as folk dancers surrounded the General's viewing stand, the "photographer" assembled a concealed rifle from his camera equipment and fired a single suppressed round through the chaos before the team dispersed into the celebrating crowds.
