Chapter 677 Hurt Him, Destroy Him

"Will our attack on an Israeli air base lead to an escalation of the conflict?" asked a general in Damascus.

Israel controlled the scale of the war. They only attacked Lebanon. Even when they attacked the Bekaa Valley, they were very careful not to enter Syrian airspace. And Syria? It directly attacked Israel and destroyed all of Israel's air bases.

The Jews are a vengeful nation. They only seek revenge, not gratitude!

"The war has already begun, what are you afraid of?" Hearing this voice, Andre finally understood why Syria had been losing territory continuously in all these years of fighting. They simply did not have the spirit of forge ahead!

"The war was initiated by the Israelis. Since the Israelis took the initiative to provoke the war, it is not up to the Israelis to decide how to fight this war." Andre continued, "If we had not made preparations in advance, all the anti-aircraft missiles in the Bekaa Valley would have been destroyed by the Israelis, and the situation in Lebanon would have been out of control. The PLO would also be completely disintegrated by the Israelis. Syria would not only lose the Golan Heights, but also the Bekaa Valley. The Israelis' greatest reliance is their air force, and now, we have crippled their air force in one fell swoop!"

After several Middle East wars, Israel has firmly established its foothold, while other Arab countries are in increasingly dire situations. In the later period, they even have no ability to help their Palestinian brothers, and can only watch Israel continue to bully their Palestinian compatriots. Those so-called land-for-peace agreements and so-called friendly solutions are ultimately helpless choices! If they really have the ability, the Palestinians will give up their land!

Israel has gained enough land, the cornerstone of the country's survival. They are satisfied, so they extended a "friendly" hand to Arafat and signed a peace agreement that is like a piece of waste paper. After all, Israel will never give up the land it has occupied. Israel is just legally affirming the existing territory. And what about the Palestinians? What did they get? Arafat was once regarded as a hero in Palestine, but unfortunately he has reached the end of his road. Even Arafat's death is shrouded in many mysteries.

We must never be lenient towards a country like Israel. If we are going to attack it, we must hit it hard and scare it!

This time, Syria is at war with Türkiye, but Israel is stabbing it in the back. If Andre had not foreseen the future, Syria would have been defeated miserably this time.

In fact, Syria's attack on Turkey was just a feint to show support for the Kurds in Turkey. At the same time, if they want to divide Turkey, they might as well have more wolves. Syria will never spit out the Turkish territory it has occupied.

Türkiye's proactive provocation and construction of a hydroelectric power station in the upper reaches of the Mesopotamian River basin is simply a suicidal act. When the Iraq War is over, Iraq will also be eyeing Turkey covetously.

If you want to hurt Israel thoroughly, you have to destroy their air force! This is also the case in every previous Middle East war. The Israeli air force is always facing a crisis. However, the Israelis have a backer, the United States! The United States will selflessly assist Israel and help Israel through the difficulties.

What about this time? Will the United States continue to support Israel? This is not certain, because the United States cannot even take care of itself, let alone military aid to Israel.

"Yes, General Andre is right!" President Assad said, "We have only one way to deal with Israel. We must hurt them thoroughly and scare them! General Andre, we still need you to be our advisor on the next move of our air force."

Without Andre, Syria's anti-aircraft missiles would have suffered heavy losses! After arriving in Syria, Andre quickly won the respect of everyone, including the Syrian president, with his military exploits.

"The next step, of course, is to continue the attack!" Andre said, "We will continue to use the MiG-29 and the new MiG-23 to gain air superiority, and use our large number of attack aircraft to attack various Israeli airports! If Israel takes off from their highways, then we will bomb their roads. In short, we will completely strike at Israel's war potential! Let their air force lose the ability to take off!"

A large number of ballistic missiles were launched, and the Israeli Air Force suffered heavy losses. However, this is a nation that never gives up. They will soon come up with other ways to maintain their air force. This is the most critical time, and we must not take it lightly! We must continue to use heavy punches to completely defeat the Israeli Air Force!

Fortunately, now is not the future, Israel does not have the Jericho-2 ballistic missile with a longer range. At this time, Israel's ballistic missile technology is still extremely backward. They only have the American-made Lance ballistic missile with a range of 130 kilometers and the Jericho-1 ballistic missile with a range of 500 kilometers. This ballistic missile with French technology has a circular error of up to 1,000 meters. Unless it is equipped with a nuclear warhead, it is useless.

Moreover, due to Israel's small land area, the ballistic missiles launched by Syria can hit almost all of Israel's air force bases, while Israel's ballistic missiles cannot reach the entire territory of Syria. Most of Syria's air force bases are quite safe.

Damascus, the capital of Syria, is within the strike range of the Jericho-1 ballistic missile. However, attacking an air force base and attacking a capital are two completely different concepts. Syria has diplomatic relations with almost all countries in the world, and Damascus also has embassies of various countries, including the US embassy. If the Israelis dare to drop missiles with nuclear warheads on Damascus, they are simply courting death.

Moreover, if the Israelis use nuclear weapons, will Syria not have them? Soviet ballistic missiles can enter Syria at any time and hit Israel from Syria! As long as Israel uses nuclear weapons, it will be the outbreak of a world war. Even if they dare to do so, the United States will never agree.

Therefore, the war between the two sides will still be limited to the scope of tactical strikes. After all, this war was initiated by the Israelis!

"This is the best opportunity. We can take this opportunity to recapture the Golan Heights. Israel has lost its air force, and their army is definitely no match for the Syrian army," Andre continued.
