As the heat of the day is blown away by the cool sea breeze from the Mediterranean at night, the Arab world slowly calms down. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Halim looks young at 22 years old, but he's a 'veteran' with five years of military experience. After five years of military career, the former student who angrily gave up his pen because of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict became a soldier with a certain level of education and war training.

After five years of struggle, Halim is now a second lieutenant officer in the 2nd SAM Regiment of the Syrian Air Defense Forces, in charge of a Sam-5 missile launcher in the missile regiment.

The 2nd SAM Regiment is one of the two most elite SAM units in the Syrian Air Defense Forces. Like the first regiment, each SAM regiment is equipped with 48 SAM-5 high-altitude long-range surface-to-air missile launchers and 60 SAM-8 vehicle-mounted low-altitude short-range missile launchers. It is the ace of the Syrian ground air defense forces to keep the enemy's aircraft and missiles out of the country.

In a ground-to-air missile regiment, every missile launcher is a combat unit, especially the Sam-5 missile launcher, which is mainly used to attack high-altitude and high-speed enemy planes and missiles. It is rare to assemble on a large scale to fight. Basically, it is secretly deployed in a certain area, which may be tens or even hundreds of square kilometers of land.

Halim's 2nd Missile Regiment is now deployed in the Golan Heights, at the forefront of the Syrian-Israeli border. It was used to defend against violations of Syrian airspace by Israeli high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and fighter jets.

At night, the temperature in the Golan Heights is very low, and the 16 members of the X022 SAM 5 missile launcher combat team, except for 6, are waiting around the missile launcher at all times, ready to fire missiles at enemy aircraft violating the territorial airspace of the motherland in accordance with the orders of their superiors. The remaining 12 people rested in a hole dug in the ground.

As a member of the ground-to-air missile regiment, everyone has long been accustomed to changing the coordinates of the launch vehicle every few days to prevent the coordinates of the missiles from being known by the enemy and preventing the enemy's missile units or even air attacks.

"Sir, do you think it will rain tomorrow?" Krim, a recruit who had just been added to the X022 team this year, looked up at the dark night sky and suddenly asked.

"There are clouds tonight, and it is said that such weather is a sign that it may rain tomorrow." Kerim turned his head and glanced at the governor Halim and said with some expectation, "If it rains, Mom won't have to walk more than ten kilometers to carry water tomorrow." ”

In southern Syria, which has a tropical desert climate and annual rainfall of less than 25 mm, the difficulty of drinking water is arguably the biggest crisis for the people living here.

"yes!" Halim responded casually, but there was something else on his mind. There were clouds at night, which was very unfavorable for air defense forces like him. As a veteran, he has experienced many border conflicts with Israel, and although he is a Syrian soldier who is very hostile to Israel, he cannot deny the strength of the Israeli Air Force, which is much more powerful than the elite of the motherland's air force. Of course, what Halim acknowledges is that Israel has the most advanced fighter jets in the world, not that Israeli pilots are stronger than those in their homeland.

In order to prevent surprise attacks by Israeli missile forces and air force, the radar of the Syrian border guards is rarely turned on, and generally only when it is confirmed that Israel has carried out air strikes on Syria will the anti-aircraft radar be turned on to designate the coordinates of enemy aircraft for the air defense forces.

The clouds at night made the experience of the Syrian air defense forces against the Israeli Air Force useless. Originally, because the radar was rarely turned on, Israeli reconnaissance planes were discovered many times deep into Syrian territory, and if you add the cover of clouds, if you ...... If the Israeli Air Force were to attack Syria, it would probably only be discovered by the Syrian side after the air strikes began.

As a natural barrier between Syria and Israel, the Golan Heights have always been the focus of the Syrian-Israeli conflict. The Golan Heights is known as the 'water tower' of the Middle East, with 40% of Israel's water coming from the Golan Heights. Since the beginning of the Fourth Middle East War, Israel has carried out a gradual strategy against the Golan Heights, and with Israel's superior military strength, it has gradually taken control of the vast majority of the Golan Heights. This is a completely unacceptable outcome for Syria. Because the use of the Golan Heights for Syria is no longer just as simple as a water source, it is completely equivalent to the role of Zangbian for China, and this kind of condescending strategic location, once controlled by the enemy, is equivalent to half of the country's door being opened, and the enemy can easily enter at any time, and then leave calmly.

This stalemate did not gradually change until the 90s, when Israel agreed to withdraw its troops from the Golan Heights under outside pressure, but the Israeli army still controls 20% of the neighboring Israeli side in order to ensure Israel's security.

In this way, Syria and Israel began an armed confrontation in the Golan Heights that lasted for more than 10 years, and clashes occurred even more frequently.

This information flashed through Halim's mind, and his mood became more and more irritable. He always felt as if something was going to happen tonight. But this clueless hint made him feel extremely depressed.

"Sir, do you think Israel will launch a sneak attack tonight?" Kerim felt the perfunctory attitude of the commander next to him, and immediately became a little bored, and after a long time, he couldn't help but speak again.

Halim frowned when he heard this, and said hesitantly, "Impossible, right?" Is Israel ready for war with us? ”

Kerim scratched his scalp and smiled, he just said casually, he has been in the army for a few months, except for a few Israeli reconnaissance planes crossing the border to reconnoitre, he has not seen Israeli air strikes.

"Hey, it would be nice if our country also had an atomic bomb, like Iran, if it develops an atomic bomb regardless of the pressure, then it will not be afraid of Israel." Kerim suddenly sighed again. In their spare time, they listen to the radio. Although the listening time is very short, less than half an hour, it is enough for them to understand some of the things that are happening in the outside world.

Halim smiled slightly, but didn't say anything. A deep gaze seems to be able to look through the clouds and into the far reaches of space.

"No. 1...... No. 1 ...... Everything was normal, no radar signal was found...... "Through the dense clouds, the sky suddenly opened up, and an airplane carrying a huge disc was flying smoothly at an altitude of 9,000 meters at a speed of 600 kilometers per hour. In the sky on either side of this plane, four more fighters are on patrol alert.

It was an Israeli Air Force E-2C airborne early warning aircraft, which was now flying high above the Israeli side of the Golan Heights. In the spacious cabin, signal lights of various colors are ticking and shining. A staff member is briefing the fighter formations involved in tonight's operation via a communicator.

10 F-15C fighters belonging to the Israeli Air Force's F-15 fighter squadron from Ramat in the southern port city of Haifa? David Air Force Base took off and crossed the skies over Israel into the air at an altitude of 16,000 meters to fly at subsonic speed to the destination of this evening's secret mission.

This time there is no super plan with a code name, and in Israel there are only three people who know about it. The Prime Minister, the Minister of Defense, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and even the commander of this fighter force on the mission were only in the air when they learned the objectives of today's mission.

Under the command of AWACS, 12 F-15 fighters turned west over the Golan Heights, reached the Mediterranean Sea, and then flew quickly north along the Syrian coastal border.

"Ring, ring, ring, ring......" Li Mo just fell asleep with the fox's plump body in his arms, and the phone in the room rang.

The two of them opened their eyes at the same time, and as soon as the fox wanted to get up, there was a warm sensation on his forehead. But it was Li Mo who lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, sat up in his pajamas, took the phone and put it to his ear.

"Hey ......" Although he was a little dissatisfied with being woken up in the middle of the night, Li Mo also knew that his subordinates called at this time period, and there must be something important.

"Boss, I'm Wang Ning." A hurried voice came from the phone, "Just now the Iranian intelligence service relayed a message that just an hour ago, the Israeli Air Force raided Arbachi in northern Syria. ”

Li Mo was stunned when he heard this, and asked a little strangely, "What is Arbachi?" ”

Although the Middle East region now initially has the appearance of a 'powder keg', Israel's air strikes on Syria seem to have nothing to do with themselves, and the Iranians not only turned the news on so quickly, but also asked Wang Ning to report the news to himself in the middle of the night. If Israel had airstrikes, Iran would have done so.

Wang Ning paused on the other side of the phone, and then replied in a deep voice, "Arbachi is in the desert of northern Syria, and it is said that it is the base of a nuclear facility secretly built by Syria. ”

Li Mo's face changed slightly, nuclear facilities? What does it mean that Israel chose this time to raid a nuclear facility in Syria? Is it just to demonstrate Israel's hyper-hardline attitude towards the objectives of nuclear facilities in the Middle East?

If this can be explained, why does Israel not strike Iran with airstrikes?

Syria's international 'fame' is clearly not as good as Iran's. But in reality, in the Middle East, Syria is also a hidden crocodile. Syria has been a belligerent in all five wars in the Middle East. And as a country bordering Israel, Syria's air defense is much stronger than Iran's. This shows the importance that Syria attaches to air defense from the sequence of the Syrian army, juxtaposing the air defense forces and the navy, land and air forces.

"Are all the air defense forces in Syria blind?" Li Mo asked with a little anger. He can see that Israel's choice of this time for air strikes in Syria was obviously not planned in advance, and its hidden purpose must have something to do with Iran's nuclear test. Although Li Mo did not look at the deeper purpose of Israel's move for a while, it could not hinder Li Mo's dissatisfaction with Syria's ability to 'resist without resistance'.

"Boss, the specific situation is unknown now, according to some reliable sources, many countries now know about this matter, and the intelligence services of various countries have mobilized to investigate the inside story of this matter."
