Assessment
A Syrian official has publicly suggested a specific burial location for Eli Cohen near a Damascus barracks. This claim, if credible, could finally resolve a decades long mystery for Israel. The official's remarks indicate internal Syrian knowledge of the burial, which may prompt renewed Israeli efforts to recover the spy's remains.
