Dr. Moshe Marzouk was an Israeli spy in Egypt who was involved in a spate of terrorist bombings of civilian targets during the 1950s known as the Lavon Affair. He came from a Karaite Judaism family. It revolved around nearly a dozen highly treasonous Egyptian Jews who were asked, and agreed to spy for Israel against the country in which they were born. They were caught, abandoned by Israel, and punished by the Egyptian justice system before being released to Israel 14 years later.
Marzouk was sentenced to death by Egyptian courts and hanged in a Cairo prison. Israel glorified him as a martyr and Jews in Israel celebrated his crimes by naming gardens and offspring after him in 1955. At the same time, the Israeli government could not publicly admit that he was executed for terrorism committed in the service of Israel.
