Rifaat Ali Suleiman El-Gammal was one of the most famous Egyptian intelligence agents in Israel. He spent nearly 17 years under the name “Jack Peyton” during a period in which the Arab region witnessed unity between Syria and Egypt.
He died in Germany on January 30, 1982 after suffering from a terminal illness. Rifaat’s wife stated after his death that he was the one who revealed the identity of the Israeli spy Eli Cohen, who worked in Syria.
