On September 25, 1997, six Mossad agents enter Jordan on false Canadian passports to kill Khaled Meshaal, the exiled political leader of Hamas, by spraying a slow-acting poison into his ear as he walks to his Amman office. The operation is Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's answer to a summer of Hamas suicide bombings that killed more than 20 Israelis in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. It unravels fast: Meshaal's bodyguard, Muhammad Abu Saif, chases down two of the agents with help from a passing Palestinian Liberation Army officer, and their capture forces Israel to hand over the antidote to save the man it just tried to kill. This two-part film interviews Meshaal himself about the attack and its aftermath, and Danny Yatom, the Mossad chief who planned it and later carried the antidote to Jordan. Told through both men's accounts, the film traces how a botched hit meant to cripple Hamas instead became one of the era's worst intelligence failures and helped cement the group's standing.
