Juval Aviv (Hebrew: יובל אביב; born Yuval Aviof; February 24, 1947), also known as Yuval Aviv, is an Israeli-American security consultant and writer. He may be best known for his work with Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, and for having conducted the counter-terrorist operation as detailed by George Jonas in his book, Vengeance (1984). Since 2003, Aviv has published four books related to security, two of which address notable mysteries. He writes under the nom-de-plume of Sam Green.
Vengeance was adapted twice as films, which attracted considerable attention to Aviv and his role with Mossad. It was adapted in 1986 as the TV movie Sword of Gideon, directed by Michael Anderson and starring Steven Bauer and Michael York, and featuring Colleen Dewhurst as Prime Minister Golda Meir. The second adaptation was the 2005 feature film Munich, directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Eric Bana, Daniel Craig and Geoffrey Rush.
Juval Aviv is currently the president of Interfor, a corporate investigations firm in New York City.
Aviv was born in kibbutz Kfar Menachem in 1947 as Yuval Aviof.
Aviv worked for Mossad while in Israel and took part in international operations during his time there.
The Australian Herald Sun, reporting on a case involving Aviv's investigation of Conrad Black, cited "An Interfor brochure lodged with the court describ[ing] Mr Aviv as a retired major in Israel's Defence Force who had participated in Mossad secret service operations in many countries."
