Map of the AO for the Commanders: Linka to map
Scenario description: A Hizbollah commando unit infiltrated the Northern border of Israel, and waited for an Israeli Border Patrol unit to make their normal rounds of the border before ambushing them.
During the ambush, both Israeli vehicles in the border patrol unit were destroyed, and six soldiers were wounded, three critically. When medical teams arrived, it was found that two soldiers were missing.
When this Information reached the Israeli higher command and political leadership, the decision was made to invade Lebanon in response to this copy-cat kidnapping, which followed a HAMAS-led Kidnapping operation three weeks ago in Gaza.
As Israeli forces streamed north into Lebanon, they found that Hizbollah was waiting for them, and had prepared the route of advance with IEDs, and prepared ambush positions.*
Note: If played against the AI, the human player should play the Israeli side.

Israel Enters Lebanon II

Battle Location: Southern Lebanon
Battle Type: Israel Assault vs. Hizbollah Defend

Scenario description: As the INS Hanit, a Sa'ar 5 Corvette steamed off the coast of Lebanon, it came under attack by two C-802 Silkworm Anti-Ship Missiles; One was fired as a plunging attack and missed, the second missile flew a sea skimming profile and hit the Hanit; resulting in severe fires, and four sailors were missing in the aftermath.
An Egyptian merchantman was also hit and sunk in the same attack.
After initial reports of the weapon(s) being a unmanned drone full of explosives, it was confirmed that they were indeed Iranian-supplied C-802 Silkworm missiles, launched by a missile battery manned by about 100~ Iranian troops.
Upon recieving this information, the Israeli Higher Command decided to launch a Commando raid on the missile battery to remove it from operation, as well as gather evidence, as aerial bombing would destroy the evidence that would implicate Iran in the attack.
Accordingly, three Sayeret Commando Teams, for a total of about 40~ commandoes were ordered to execute a night-time assault from the sea.
