To stop a revealed EXALT cell, XCOM may perform a Covert Operation on the country where the cell is based. There are two types of Covert Missions, Covert Extraction and Covert Data Recovery, with about 10 maps for each type (20 total). There's no Meld present in Covert Missions maps.
The mission consists of two parts, first the insertion of one of XCOM's soldiers as a Covert Operative (through the Situation Room) and later 7 days later its extraction through a tactical mission. If the tactical mission is ignored after the XCOM soldier is inserted, the Covert Operative will be lost. If the Covert Mission is a failure the EXALT cell will disappear and go into hiding into another country.
Besides elimination of the EXALT cell, success in the mission will provide a clue about the location of the EXALT base.
EXALT Base Location
Every successful mission where you recover EXALT intel will give a clue about the EXALT Base. In the Covert Operations menu, you can see the clues, as well as markings on the countries that have been ruled out (and don't worry: it's automatic, so you don't need to hit Wikipedia for population statistics or Civ 5's civilizations) Once you get 3 clues you may make an accusation (raid) against a country. If the accusation is correct then you'll be able to assault their base and end their menace for good.
If you're wrong the country will leave the Council. You can get additional clues to narrow it to a single country.
If you accuse a country which already left the Council, the penalty for guessing wrong is a continent-wide panic increase.
