In 1992 he led the planning and preparation of Operation Bramble Bush - the targeted elimination of Saddam Hussein, then President of Iraq. Kempel was designated to lead the mission in Iraq, but it was cancelled due to a live fire accident during the final rehearsal for the mission causing the death of 6 Israeli soldiers and for which Kempel and his deputy stood trial[5].
