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.*
*
Note:  If played against the AI, the human player should play the Israeli side.*
