[Mount Bental, Golan Heights]:[H2H][TRNY][CSL]: As a result of the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, the leaders of Syria decided to test the defenses on the Golan just West of Kuneitra. Unfortunately for the Israelis, their intelligence as to what the Syrians were up to around Kuneitra gave no indication that the Syrians were about to strike. As part of the Syrian plan, a commando force would air assault all along the Israeli Main Supply Route and isolate forward units in the area. Following the insertion of Commandos, a battalion of T-72s would move forward to link up with the Commandoes and drive deeper into the Israeli defenses. Despite repeated assurances from Israeli Intelligence that there was no threat in the area, the Israeli forward positions observed Syrian helicopters passing over their location as dawn broke
and raised the alarm. It seemed the events in Lebanon were spiralling out of control. [ALL][NONE][1.00]
