SCENE V
I'm Going To Set A Trap
General Zaher: The situation is getting worse, yesterday they bombed the Jordan river source diversion project and destroyed all the work.
General Nahlawi: This
spy is really humiliating us.
General Zaher: What do you plan to do?
General Nahlawi: I'm going to set a trap.
General Zaher: But how?
General Nahlawi: I have no doubt it must be one of the high ranking officers, or someone very close to the top. Recently, I discovered that there's a radio signal transmitted every morning from Damascus in the direction of Tel Aviv. I suspect that this is the spy signal.
General Zaher: So what's the plan?
General Nahlawi: We must latch on to the signal. I'll silence all outgoing transmissions from the Syrian army headquarters for the next twenty four hours. The leak's transmission will be the only one on the air. Using the equipment we received from the Soviets, we'll be able to locate the exact origination point.
General Zaher: But how can you be sure he will transmit in the next 24 hours?
General Nahlawi: I've circulated a very significant piece of information for Israeli intelligence. I've told people that we're about to send a terrorist unit to Tel Aviv. When our man finds out, he won't be able to wait a second before transmitting.
