April 1963 CE
Two Mossad agents are arrested and jailed in 1963 for violating Swiss laws by threatening German scientists allegedly working with Egypt.
Always a champion of his operatives, Isser Harel, who is credited with building the Mossad into a professional organization, defends their actions so emphatically to Ben-Gurion that he is asked to resign.
