Nili

On the news tonight, mention of an Israeli task force - Nili - formed to hunt down and kill Hamas memebrs who played a role in the Oct 7 attack ...



This reminds me of a series of novels by Daniel Silva. I first read one of them, The Prince of Fire, when my sister picked out the audio book version randomly at the public library based on its cover art and brought it to me to read ...

Anyway, the book was good and I went back to the beginning of the series to figure out better what was going on. Here's a bit about the main character, Gabriel Allon, from Wikipedia ...

Gabriel Allon is the main protagonist in Daniel Silva's thriller and espionage series that focuses on Israeli intelligence. The main characters refer to their employer as 'the Office', although it is not specified that it is Mossad (known internally in the Israeli intelligence community as HaMisrad [עברית: המשרד], literally 'the Office'). Allon's career began in 1972 when he, Eli Lavon and several others were plucked from civilian life by Ari Shamron to participate in Operation Wrath of God, an act of vengeance to hunt down and eliminate those responsible for killing the Israeli athletes in Munich. Wrath of God is referenced in the books throughout the course of his life.
