Not quite.
Nadia Cohen, 84, said she was hurt by parts of the miniseries "The Spy" because they bore no relation to the truth, although she hopes the dramatization might help in recovering her late husband's remains from Syria.
Nadia Cohen said liberties taken in some parts of the script "raise my blood pressure".
She cited one subplot showing her struggling to work as a seamstress for an Israeli socialite while raising the Cohens' children alone, and another where a Mossad handler takes a romantic interest in her while her husband is away undercover.
Neither happened in reality, Nadia Cohen said.
"Someone wanted to bring things into the mix that really hurt us," she told Reuters in the sitting room of her home in the Israeli coastal city of Herzliya, where framed black-and-white pictures of Eli adorn the mantelpiece.
