		Harel briefly reinvented himself as special security adviser to Prime Minister Levi Eshkol (1965-66), and served one term in the Knesset (1969-73), but his heyday was over.

	Chapter 8: Encyclopedia of the Palestine Problem
		Isser Harel emigrated to Palestine from Latvia in 1930.
		Isser Harel ran the Mossad single-handedly "for he was answerable to nobody, and not even government ministers knew how he spent the Mossad budget." (14) He planned the campaign to kill Arabs in the Arab countries and Europe under the instructions of David Ben-Gurion, Moshe Sharett, and Levi Eshkol.
		As the head of Mossad Isser Harel became obsessed by the paranoid belief that the Egyptians were building some kind of doomsday device.

		Harel knew that this man must be brought to justice and punished for his crimes; the victims of his slaughter demanded it; justice and morality demanded it; but no one was looking for him - no agency, no government, no police force.
		Each man was handpicked by Isser Harel for his or her special qualities developed and proven over years of undercover intelligence work.
		Isser Harel was almost alone among Mossad operatives who felt that the Eichmann family would not make a public fuss about the missing Eichmann.

		Israel (Isser) Harel, considered to be the founder of Israel's external intelligence agency, the Mossad, died yesterday in a Tel Aviv hospital, aged 91.

	Israeli spy who snared Eichmann - smh.com.au
		Isser Harel, who has died aged 91, was the most famous Israeli spymaster; as the second boss of Mossad (which was established in 1951 to gather intelligence from abroad and run special operations) he turned it into one of the most effective and boldest intelligence services in the world.
		Harel personally commanded some of Mossad's most spectacular operations, notably the abduction from Argentina of Adolf Eichmann, the SS officer who presided over the "Final Solution" (the extermination of European Jews), to stand trial in Israel for war crimes.
		Harel was born Isser Halperin at Vitebsk in central Russia, where his father had a small but prosperous vinegar factory.

	j. - Mossad chief, top Israeli spy Isser Harel, dies at 91
		Born in Vitebsk, Russia, in 1912, Harel immigrated to Palestine in 1931.
		Harel's biggest triumph was his personal supervision of the operation to capture the chief Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmannn in Argentina.
		Harel resolved that "if Eichmannn were alive, come hell or high water, he'd be caught." He was disappointed, however, when he found Eichmannn to be a scared little official with a slavelike mentality.

		Harel's ire was raised, and he told Beer "'I think the Prime Minister is naive about you.'" Harel then went to see Ben-Gurion and expressed his suspicions about Beer to him.
		Harel was convinced that the entries were a coded summary relating to meetings with his KGB controllers.
		Harel discovered that Beer had first met the Soviet diplomat he had given the briefcase to in 1957, and had regularly visited Soviet bloc embassies in Israel and abroad.

		Isser Harel, the author, was head of Israel's security service, and the criminal he tracked down in Argentina in 1960 was Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi responsible for carrying out Hitler's "final solution," the murder of six million Jews.
		Harel tried to find Dr. Joseph Mengele too, learning he had also been in Buenos Aries, but the doctor who did goulish experiments on innocent victims eluded the Israelis.
		Harel met with his team members at an endless series of cafes, conducting the final phase from a crowded and chaotic airport staff café, where he and his men went unnoticed in the general din of the place.

		In the wake of that operation, which also had the moral value of historical justice, the Mossad acquired the image of a fearless, daring organization whose operatives were prepared to go to the ends of the earth to carry out their mission.
		Isser Harel, who believed that Israeli intelligence must serve the best interests of the Jewish people and must act on its behalf, decided to send a representative to Argentina.
		Harel was afraid that the circle of persons privy to Hermann's secret would widen and that Eichmann would go into hiding.
