Background:
Seven days have passed since the strike on Al-Qusayr. Yesterday, NATO air forces destroyed 8 of the 30 bridges that enable Syria to provide reinforcements into Lebanon.

Situation:
A couple of days ago NATO and allies implemented a no-fly zone over Lebanon and parts of Israel. This forbids all aircraft from entering the zone, except for military aircraft part of the coalition. The NATO / Israel efforts have shifted towards targeting Syrian infrastructure near the border, in order to limit the advances. Since only 8 out of the 30 target bridges were destroyed in last day’s air strikes, there is reason to believe some Syrian ground forces may have entered Lebanon during last night, but there is still no confirmation on this.
During yesterday’s operations, four non-hostile Russian aircraft were shot down by Israeli F-16s causing a political crisis, despite a swift apology. There’s no official conflict with Russia, but we need to realize that after this incident, there is reason to be cautious. Russia has declared a strict 40 nm radius zone around the Bassel Al-Assad. Any non-Russian aircraft within that limit will be engaged.

Time and weather:
* June 17 – 2021
* 0930 local time
* Partly cloudy (7500′-11500′)
* CASE 1 conditions
* FORCE QNH 2992 / 1013

Package mission:
Primary objective 1: Enforce the no-fly zone
Primary objective 2: Destroy the remaining 22 out of the 30 bridges at targets Lima, Mike and November
Secondary objective: May be called in for close air support in Lebanon

Order of events overview:
1) Package take off
2) Establish CAP
3) Intercept any aircraft approaching the no-fly zone
4) Attack bridges
5) Package recovery

* All aircraft expected to check in for recovery 11:10-11:20

**During Case 1, every go-around is estimated to 500 lbs, and you need to carry fuel for 2 go-arounds. This means that when showing up in the groove for the first time, you need to have 3000 lbs. After 2 go-arounds, you need to hit the tanker.

ROE:
* Weapons free on all enemy air defenses
* Weapons free on aircraft declared hostile
* Military aircraft taking off from Syria are considered hostile and should be engaged. Aircraft flying aggressively at high speed can be assumed military, otherwise vis id is required
* Civilian traffic and military aircraft from other countries than Israel (or the carrier group) should be intercepted if they fly towards the NFZ. If they fail to comply, Stingray can give clearance to fire when inside the NFZ
