Operation Bethlehem

Yariv Inbar

Some missions are sanctioned.

Others are personal.

This one could change history.

What if your only shot at redemption meant risking your life to uncover one of history’s greatest mysteries, one that is powerful enough to reshape the Middle East?

Daniel, a former Mossad operative haunted by failure and desperate to reclaim his purpose, goes undercover on a dangerous mission of his own. But he’s not alone. Intelligence agencies, terrorists, and covert agents are converging on the same location – each driven by their own agenda. What begins as a personal quest for redemption turns into a race against time, and one wrong move could spark a new war…

Winner of the 2023 National Jewish Book Award for Hebrew Fiction in Translation, Operation Bethlehem is a tense, morally charged espionage thriller written by a bestselling Israeli author and former intelligence officer.

Author

Yariv Inbar

Yariv Inbar is the pseudonym of an Israeli novelist whose real identity has been banned from publication by the Israeli authorities. With a wealth of experience from many years of serving in sensitive positions within the Israeli intelligence community, Inbar brings a unique authenticity to his writing and still serves as a lieutenant colonel in reserve. In 2016, Inbar burst onto the spy fiction scene with the publication of his novels in Hebrew, which quickly earned bestseller status in Israel and received high praise from critics and readers alike.
