1.0 Air Battle for Syria

Hezbollah's rocket attack on Yom Kippur against Israeli cities---attacks which involved chemical weapons, and caused scores of deaths and hundreds of injuries---has provoked Israel's strongest response yet: a powerful invasion of Lebanon on October 7th, 2016, and another invasion of Syria on the 17th of October. The Hezbollah forces were crushed within days of fighting in Lebanon and capitals of both Lebanon and Syria were under Israeli control by the 2nd of November. With some 200,000 troops and some 1200 tanks seizing control of southern Syria, capturing two airbases and capturing Damascus, the Syrian Government fled to the northern provinces to make the air base at Aleppo its rallying point.

The Iranian Government, which had been supporting Hezbollah and Syria, was determined to come to their aid and to thwart Israel's complete conquest. A massive airlift was assembled on the 2nd of November and was to land at Al Raqqah, a base in central Syria that was used almost exclusively by Iranian forces. The Israeli Government had warned that any units, air, ground, or sea, seeking to aid Syrian and Hezbollah forces would be considered enemy units to be intercepted and destroyed. The Iranians chose to ignore that warning. The Battle for Syria is underway.
