Collection: Team Yankee: Israeli

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.
