217: Chapter 217 No one has set foot in this area.

The Anti-Judea Coalition Joint Command quickly received the battle reports sent by the Aqaba Front Command and the Sinai Front Command, gaining an understanding of the engagement with the Israel military.

Overall, it was a major victory.

Not only did they shoot down five Israel fighter jets, but they also destroyed many of Israel's military facilities, causing significant casualties to the Israel military.

Although over 30 Tianlong Series UAV were lost, this was nothing compared to the 4,000 units already delivered.

Major General Faye and Major General Al-Sisi decided to dispatch one or two batches of Tianlong Series UAV daily to bomb Israel's military facilities, with particular focus on the isolation wall Israel built around the Gaza Region, which was designated as a priority target.

Only by diverting the Israel military's attention to the Gaza Region could the Anti-Judea Coalition secure more time for training and complete the reorganization of their various units.

The high command of the Israel military was dissatisfied with the operational command of the Juda Southern Military District Command; after all, they had lost many fighter jets and various weapons and equipment, and had suffered significant personnel casualties.

If such losses were to occur a few more times, Israel would struggle to continue.

As for whether to immediately launch an attack on the countries in the Persian Gulf region, the high command of the Israel military had not reached a consensus.

Currently, the Israel reserve forces were still waiting for the replenishment of weapons and equipment, as the weapons and ammunition delivered by the USA did not meet the requirements of all the reserve forces.

Furthermore, existing troop deployments had not yet been adjusted, and the reserve forces were not fully operational; therefore, launching an attack on the countries in the Persian Gulf region was impossible for the time being.

In the end, General Gadi could only order the Juda Southern Military District Command to maintain a defensive posture, engage in a war of attrition with the countries in the Persian Gulf region, attempt to shoot down the invading UAV, and deploy their own UAV at opportune moments to counterattack.

Israel possessed a significant number of UAV, most of which were produced by its own military-industrial enterprises.

If it came to a battle of attrition regarding UAV with the countries in the Persian Gulf region, Israel was not worried.

After all, aside from Iran, the other countries in the Persian Gulf region had to purchase their UAV from abroad.

As long as the attrition of UAV on both sides reached a certain level, final victory would surely belong to Israel.

General Gadi was not concerned that his UAV would be depleted faster than those of the countries in the Persian Gulf region; at worst, he could simply have the USA provide more.

With a tacit understanding reached between the two sides, UAV frequently appeared in the skies over Israel. However, neither side had formally declared war; they simply tried to shoot down as many of the other's UAV as possible, counting it as their own victory.

As the fighting continued, the consumption of Tianlei Series Anti-Aircraft Missile by the Sinai Front Command gradually increased.

Major General Al-Sisi saw that the stock of Tianlei Land-type and Type-7 anti-aircraft missiles had decreased by thirty or forty, with not many left. In the end, he was forced to order the use of Tianlei Type-4 and Type-5 anti-aircraft missiles as much as possible, effectively shrinking the air defense coverage.

The result of this was that the airspace over the northern Gaza Region fell back under the control of the Israel military, allowing them to resume air strikes.

However, the Israel Air Force was somewhat apprehensive and did not dare to dispatch fighter jets for large-scale air strikes, only occasionally sending them for bombing runs.

No one knew when anti-aircraft missiles would strike, downing the aircraft performing the bombing missions.

They simply dispatched a small number of aircraft, so that even if they were shot down, the losses would be minimized.

As for the results of the bombing, they could only target high-value objectives.

This, to a certain extent, reduced civilian casualties in the Gaza Region.

After the Israel military had intermittently shelled the Gaza Region for a period, they had cleared a large, empty zone near the isolation wall, where no standing buildings or civilians remained.

The civilians here had either perished in the bombing or had already fled the area.

The Israel military had intended to occupy this area, but due to the attacks from the UAV of the countries in the Persian Gulf region, they were unable to secure the zone.

Consequently, a long no-man's-land formed around the isolation wall in the Gaza Region, where only a few reconnaissance soldiers appeared; otherwise, no one set foot in this area.

The Anti-Judea Coalition Joint Command was well aware of the consumption of anti-aircraft missiles and UAV by the Aqaba Front Command and the Sinai Front Command. To avoid weakening the combat capabilities of these two commands, they had to draw from reserve stocks of weapons and equipment to replenish them.

In the early stages, Major General Faye had the Tianlong Series UAV carry air-to-ground missiles, but later, he had them carry bombs directly.

After all, the current supply of aerial bombs was far greater than that of air-to-ground missiles; while they lacked precision, the ability to carry more bombs meant that, through increased payload, they could still inflict significant damage on Israel's military facilities.

After a period of bombing, at least half of the machine gun watchtowers built along the isolation wall in the Gaza Region had been destroyed, and the remainder were all more or less damaged.

Although they could still be used, their defensive capabilities had declined.

Even Palestine resistance fighters could use artillery shells to destroy them, making it easier to cross the isolation wall.

The Juda Southern Military District Command was extremely frustrated by this. Due to the sheer number of UAV deployed by the countries in the Persian Gulf region, Israel's anti-aircraft missile positions could not defend against them; even when fighter jets were scrambled to intercept, they could not shoot down all of the enemy UAV.

Furthermore, during this prolonged interception campaign, Israel had suffered significant losses.

Not only did the scrambled fighter jets become targets for enemy anti-aircraft missiles, but the anti-aircraft missile positions, failing to maintain adequate concealment, became targets for UAV attacks and were quickly destroyed by the air-to-ground missiles dropped upon them.

After such exchanges, Israel's losses appeared to be greater than those of the countries in the Persian Gulf region.

The UAV produced by Israel's military-industrial enterprises could not keep up with the rate of attrition, and they could only watch as their numbers gradually dwindled.

Likewise, the anti-aircraft missiles produced by the military-industrial enterprises could not keep up with the consumption, forcing them to constantly pull stock from inventory to the battlefield, slowly depleting their strategic reserves of anti-aircraft missiles.

General Gadi watched the constant depletion of weapons and equipment with great anxiety, and could only continually urge Israel's military-industrial enterprises to maintain 24-hour production, rotating shifts to keep production lines running without interruption, and doing their utmost to increase production to meet the military's demands.

However, the production of weapons and ammunition could not be completed overnight.

Furthermore, since Israel had to purchase raw materials and components from abroad, this to a certain extent affected the production progress of the UAV and anti-aircraft missiles.

Sometimes, they were forced to halt production while waiting for the supply of raw materials.

Naturally, this also impacted the delivery of equipment to the Israel military.
