The Israeli government has agreed to pay a $1.1 million settlement to the family of an alleged Mossad spy who took his own life inside a maximum security Israeli prison. The Israeli government has imposed a strict gag order on the 2010 death of Ben Zygier, refusing to even acknowledge his case. He was apparently jailed after unwittingly jeopardizing a secret Israeli mission in Lebanon, and later found hanged in his cell. The payment to his family averts a public trial that could have revealed more details about his case.
