Hebrew term

הפעלת סוכנים

Hebrew to English Other Other
מתלבט לגבי תרגום המושג 'הפעלת סוכנים' (במובן של סוכנות חקירות וכדו').
"הארגון מפעיל סוכנים חשאיים ברחבי העולם למטרות מעקב".
Operating agents?
באופן כללי, 'הפעלה' זה מושג שתמיד משונה לתרגם-
הפעלת קבוצות נוער, הפעלת אירועים..

תודה!

handling agents

The people who cause the agents to operate are called handlers. Rafi Eitan was the handler of Jonathan Pollard.
Example sentence:

On May 11, 1998, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted Pollard was a known information source, handled by high-ranking officials of the Israeli Bureau for Scientific Relations (Lekem).

"Beyond all doubt...the operational echelons (namely: the Scientific Liaison Unit headed by Rafael Eitan) decided to recruit and handle Pollard without any check or consultation with the political echelon or receiving its direct or indirect approval."

running agents

Get the highest number of hits for "running secret agents" (6,850) as against "handling secret agents" (10) or "operating secret agents" (6)
Peer comment(s):

agree Ty Kendall : This was also the standard term for this activity in the BBC spy-drama "Spooks" (of which I was an avid fan!) :-) ....reminds me of an early episode in which the character "Tessa" was running 'phantom' agents.

agree Doron Greenspan MITI : I also liked Spooks when it started, but then, towards season 4 or so, their plots got so weird and contrived that I kinda got fed up...

neutral Johnnybar : Sounds right. However, many of the results refer to "agents" in terms of UI and computer science. So not sure if the number of hits is an accurate indicator here.
