Yossi Cohen: My Son The Warrior

Yossi Cohen was just appointed the new chief of the Mossad intelligence agency, but if you try to enthuse over him, he’ll brush you off by telling you about his son, Yonatan.

“Yonatan is, in my eyes, the true warrior.”

Apparently, not too many people know that Cohen’s son was born with cerebral palsy (CP).

In spite of what some people would see as a limitation, Yonatan enlisted in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), and not only became an officer, but ended up in the elite 8200 Intelligence Unit.

Yonatan is a real warrior, as his dad says, but I’m thinking he’s maybe a chip off the old block.

Here’s wishing both of them the best of luck!
