Cohen’s first performance in Israel was in the middle of the 1973 Arab-Israeli war.
While on tour he performed for Israeli troops in the Sinai Desert, coming under fire.
On 24 September 2009 Leonard Cohen, now 75, performed again in Israel for the first time in 30 years at Ramat Gan stadium near Tel Aviv.
