While on a tour of the Syrian military with Syrian personnel before being discovered, Cohen suggested that trees should be planted around Arab guard posts and bases that targeted Israel. That way, Cohen argued, the trees would provide natural cover for the outposts. After his suggestion was implemented by the Syrian military, Cohen passed on the information to Israel, whose airforce then destroyed the majority of the bases, using the newly planted trees as a guide.
