Departures of note

Gumaa Al-Shawan sent a message using the advanced burst transmitter at the first scheduled transmission window in Egypt, which reportedly read: “From Egyptian intelligence to Mossad, we thank you for your cooperation over the last eleven years with our man, Ahmed Al-Hawan, and we look forward to other operations.”

Mossad had provided Gumaa Al-Shawan with the burst transmitter after he passed a polygraph test.
