Kidon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kidon (Hebrew: "bayonet") is the name of a department within Israel's Mossad that is responsible for assassination and kidnapping. It was exposed by former Mossad katsa Victor Ostrovsky in his 1990 book By Way of Deception. Kidon is suspected of being behind a number of assassinations in the Operation Wrath of God campaign carried out by Israel after the 1972 Munich massacre. According to Israeli author Aaron Klein, Kidon was known as Caesarea until a reorganization in the mid-1970s.[1]
