The opening as it read in 2025
Kidon ( Hebrew : כידון ) is a 2013 French-Israeli spy action comedy film about the Israeli Mossad 's attempts to find out who killed Hamas senior military commander Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh in 2010. In real life, Kidon is a secretive Mossad special operations killing unit. Kidon was written and directed by Emmanuel Naccache. The hotel scenes were filmed at a hotel in Eilat, Israel , standing in for the Dubai hotel where the actual killing took place. When the family of Al-Mabhouh learned that in one of the scenes his character drinks alcohol and submits to Israeli "temptress" Bar Refaeli , the family said it would sue to stop the film's distribution arguing that it hurt the Hamas commander's reputation. "They'd done it; The audience wins in this spy vs. spy caper in which Bar Rafaeli plays the role of a young student called Einav" . "The man who turned a maybe-Mossad hit into a sabra caper; Emmanuel Naccache talks about the making of 'Kidon,' a new comic thriller featuring model Bar Refaeli" . The Times of Israel . "Emmanuel Naccache: " Ma version fantasmée de l'assassinat de Dubaï " " .
