Fascinating, and bizarre, story! Did you know that "The Caldwell Center" submitted a FOIA request to the CIA in late July 2007 that, among other things, asked for any records on Sar Ben-Zui and Salvador Gersson Smike? See https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/DOC_0001500711.pdf
A few months later, in Sept. 2007, the CIA replied that it could "neither confirm or deny" the existence of any such records. A so-called Glomar Response, which is suspicious in and of itself. In my experience, it means the CIA has chosen to hide something.
excellent work indeed. very mysterious case. private israeli security firms do exist, and they may be involved in espionage, even against governments, but they can also serve as fronts for other purposes.

As for The Caldwell Center, it appears defunct now, but I can't be certain of that.
