World War III - Team Yankee Israeli Book

The dust rolled across the front as the wind picked up. Sergeant Nazari adjusted his shemagh scarf across his face and brought his binoculars back up to his eyes after giving the lenses a quick wipe. He lay along the top of a low rise.

“I can’t see anything through this dust, any luck through the IR?” Nazari asked Said, who was  positioned next to him with one of the company’s Milan ATGM. 

“Nothing Sergeant, all I can see is the hot dust,” replied Said.

A few moments later a tank loomed out of the dust as a spray of machine-gun rounds thumped into the front of the rise. Nazari ducked as Said fired the Milan, sending a missile towards the tank. It was obscured by a flash, before it emerged again, clearly outlined against the dust and smoke.

“That’s a Merkava!” Nazari exclaimed as another Israeli tank joined the first.

A few short hours after the Iranians and Soviets had launched a new offensive against Iraq, Syria (Iran and the Soviet Union’s ally) launched an attack into the Israeli occupied Golan Heights. With Israeli forces already mobilised and alert, they weather the Syrian storm, reluctantly giving ground while inflicting heavy losses on the Syrian armoured units, before marshalling their forces to counter-attack. The Israeli Defence Forces, or IDF, are a well-trained and equipped force ready to defend their hard-won territory. They are equipped with tanks and weapons of their own design, as well as equipment supplied by their allies.
