The Engineer

The film concludes with the destruction of Yahya, the man known as The Engineer, who had orchestrated brutal bombings in Israel. After a tense and dangerous operation, Avi’s team tracks him to a safe house. They manage to plant a bomb through a mobile phone, which Yahya unknowingly carries, and detonate it, killing him instantly. In the chaos, Gili is killed, and Avi is severely wounded but manages to survive, carrying the heavy weight of loss and the realization of the endless cycle of violence.

The ending scene shows an old woman on a bus, who turns out to be a suicide bomber, highlighting that Yahya was just one of many individuals indoctrinated into violence by extremists. It underscores the tragic reality that, while actions are taken to stop these terrorists, the root causes—such as ideological extremism and unresolved conflicts—remain unaddressed. The film suggests that the cycle of violence continues because the deeper issues are left unresolved, leaving a haunting message that peace cannot be fully achieved without addressing these underlying roots. The death of Yahya signifies the temporary nature of such victories, hinting that unless the fundamental grievances are dealt with, the violence like Yahya’s will persist, impacting innocent lives and ensuring the ongoing cycle of conflict.
