Final preparations for Eichmann’s capture include both largeand small details. In addition to picking alternate safehouses, details regarding the departure from Buenos Aires on El Al has to be worked out. Eichmann can’t be brought through the regular terminal; consequently, El Al's entire aircraft, maintenance crew, and support staff have to be moved to a suitable location. This is typical of the last-minute details that consume the team's preparation. At the safehouse, Shalom Dani arduously begins working on the forged documents the team will require.

Beyond this, physical rehearsals are conducted, with one of the team playing the Eichmannas the others rushed him, spiriting him into a waiting car. Malkin and Tabor conduct the actual "snatch," honing the entire capture down to ten or twelve seconds. The plan for the snatch is as follows: positioning their getaway car on Route 202, the car will flash its lights, in order to disorient Eichmann. Another car will be stationed on Garibaldi street, in Eichmann's path. Malkin will say something to Eichmann in Spanish, in order to get his attention. At this moment, Tabor and Eitan will tackle Eichmann, forcing him into the second car.

However, doubts remain about one of the safehouses, nicknamed Doron.The gardener and caretaker have grown suspicious due to all of the recent activity.
