Summary

This document is a page from a memoir or narrative account (stamped by House Oversight) describing a covert Israeli military operation in the Sinai. The narrator (a physics student and Sayeret member) convinces Yitzhak Rabin to authorize a mission to defuse/retrieve a device despite risks raised by a physicist named Dr. Gonn. The mission ultimately fails to retrieve the device but the eavesdropping network remains undiscovered due to the outbreak of an Arab-Israeli war.
