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.*
