The Story

A Perilous Era in the Middle East
In the 1960s, Israel faced growing threats from neighboring enemies armed with advanced Soviet weaponry. The MiG-21, the most advanced fighter jet of its time, gave Israel’s adversaries a dangerous advantage. Israel’s survival depended not only on military strength but on intelligence, strategy, and boldness. Then came Operation Diamond—a covert mission orchestrated by the Mossad, Israel’s legendary intelligence agency. The goal: acquire a MiG-21 and unlock its secrets, shifting the balance of power in the skies.

The Daring Gamble
On August 16, 1966, an Iraqi pilot, Munir Redfa, defected and flew his MiG-21 into Israel. This was no small feat—Redfa risked execution if caught, and Israel risked political and military retaliation. The Mossad meticulously planned his escape, ensuring a flight route that would evade Iraqi radar detection and enemy pursuit. As the aircraft touched down at Hatzor Airbase, Israel had won a historic intelligence victory—one that would change the future of Israeli air dominance.

Symbols of Tactical Mastery The Operation Diamond Coin immortalizes this daring mission:
The MiG-21 fighter jet—centered on the coin, symbolizing the breakthrough that gave Israel a decisive air advantage. The flight path from Iraq to Israel, subtly etched in the background, marking the pilot’s courageous escape. The Israeli emblem, standing above, signifying national security, intelligence, and resilience. "Welcome Welcome" inscribed in Hebrew and Arabic, recalling the moment Redfa was greeted in Israel, a sign of dialogue and understanding between nations.

Celebrating National Resolve
This mission wasn’t just about gaining intelligence—it was about Israel’s ability to outthink and outmaneuver its enemies. The MiG-21’s secrets helped Israel dominate the air in the upcoming Six-Day War of 1967, where Israel secured a swift and decisive victory. By engraving history into metal, this coin stands as a reminder that knowledge, courage, and faith can overcome overwhelming odds.

Holding a Piece of History
Owning the Operation Diamond Coin means holding a piece of Israeli intelligence history. It is a tribute to those who: Took bold risks for the survival of Israel. Believed in outsmarting the enemy rather than just outgunning them. Carved a path for future victories through wisdom and courage.

By acquiring this coin, you honor the legacy of the Mossad and the brave individuals who defied limits to secure Israel’s future.
