It fell far from the place where the burning remains of the plane had crashed, fifty meters from the house of the Druze farmer... And now the Israelis were faced with a problem that was impossible to solve, even for those of them with a rich imagination. The bomb was somewhere in Syrian territory - but where exactly?
