True, Zeira tried to claim on a number of occasions that he gave the order to deploy the special equipment forty hours before the war was launched (that is, Thursday night at 10:00 p.m. Israel time). However, Col. Yossi Langotsky, who at the time commanded the unit responsible for deploying them, stated that forty hours before the start of war, Zeira approved conducting a check of the equipment's readiness (“tool check”) and insisted that they be turned off again on Friday at 6:00 a.m. The commander of the 848th Intelligence Unit, Col. Yoel Ben-Porat, told him personally that the equipment had been shut down at that time. Langotsky, who also checked with the soldiers who were physically involved (that is, who actually pushed the button), said that they were deployed operationally only “on the morning of Yom Kippur, a couple of hours before the war.” Yossi Langotsky, “The Truth About the ‘Special Means,'”
