Hamshari also featured in the Kilowatt cables, which described his diplomatic and fundraising activities but also claimed he had recruited terrorist cells. “I’m not sure the Israeli [assassination] campaign would have been possible without the tactical information from the European intelligence services. Even afterwards though, western European services continued to supply Israel with detailed intelligence on potential targets, Guttmann said.
