Bridge of the RNS Smith, Mediterranean Sea, 20km West of Nahariyya
Nearly every element of the 6th fleet had assembled in the Mediterranean Sea for the invasion, nearly fifty front line vessels had been brought together from the fleet home port to land the invasion force and support ground forces during the operation.
Admiral Franklin Jenkins, an already seasoned naval officer and commander of several operations, looked over the fleet's organization and ordered the go ahead, missile cruisers and strike aircraft would knock out ground installations and enemy implacements, once that was done the task force's battleships would move closer inland with the Marine's assault ships to land the 15th Division to support the 1st Airborne Division's landing just North of the city of Nahariyya.
F-36 strike fighters armed with guided munitions took off from the decks of the fleet's carriers, they would strike the enemy implacements with the support of the E-2 Hawkeye and EA-6B Prowler aircraft while the Aquila-class cruisers fired their Pheonix missiles at installations such as ammunition and fuel facilities.
Landing Zone Battleaxe, 5km North of Nahariyya
The sky was blacked out with C-17 Globemaster III aircraft as paratroopers rained down, just as they were trained to, they assembled into their respective units and began to build a makeshift airstrip to land in heavier equipment. As soon as the Marines had landed ashore, they would move out to assault the city of Nahariyya.

Mediterranean Sea, 8km West of Nahariyya
The RNS Indomitable and RNS Devastation both moved into position to bombard the coastline in preparation of the Marine landings, the assault ships launched their landing craft filled with soldiers and equipment. Helicopter gunships and Harrier attack aircraft took off from the decks of the to move in fast and hit any targets on the beach ahead of the first landing wave.
F-36 strike craft began to hit the major roadways connecting Haifa to the Southern parts of the country, so as to prevent a counter-assault on the landing forces along the coastline.

Elements of the 1st Airborne Division came under fire from an infantry unit, the paratroopers returned fire with their 105mm guns stationed at the hastily constructed airstrip which was now accepting C-17 transport aircraft delivering heavier equipment for the troopers and started to bring in elements of the 21st Infantry Division. The infantry units would take over defending the airstrip so the airborne could move out to support the Marines.

Red Beach, 3km North of Nahariyya
The Marines hit the shoreline in the landing craft, those aboard the LCAC moved inland as the armoured units deployed from the LCU's on the beach, Predator MBTs moved up to support the engineer vehicles as the entire force moved South towards Nahariyya and its awaiting defenders. The battleship strike group shifted its fire to the city as attack aircraft from the assault ships kept up with the ground forces. Light casualties had been suffered from the initial fighting, but most of the enemy units chose to withdraw and regroup in the city rather than fight in the open.

The remaining elements of the 21st Infantry Division had landed and began to move out to support the Marines as the Airborne troops reinforced their defensive positions as it was seen better that the more mobile mechanized infantry moved out to support.

The Mk.V Predator tanks moved ahead into the city as the Marine APC's followed behind, a single Merkava tank rolled out from behind an abandoned cafe and fired at the lead Predator, the shell bounced off the sloped, Carbon-60 armour as the tank traversed its turret and fired a 135mm shell back at the Merkava and blew a few of the road wheels off along with the right-side tracks, with the tank immobilised, the second round penetrated the turret and the tank exploded as flames spread from the turret and caught the vehicle's ammunition stores. The armoured column continued forward into the city to root out the remainder defenders.

Out of the blue, a rather large fleet of war-shipd come sailing across the ocean.above the ships, a massive squadron of XF69-War-Hawks fly thru the sky, and drop a jillion bombs on both the attackers and the defenders with a message: "PANDA ISLANDS SAY U LIKE POOP" Then the army's leader arises from the water, and the war starts. the Uber-Super-Jillion War Tank starts missiling the land, killing everything."HA"
The Panda Islands

As The uber-jillion-wartanks send missiles throughout the land, a ground infantry of about 5 thousand Panda soldiers rush out from carrying-ships and storm the land. The panda's spread and attack the attcking side with bamboo sticks, large dirt clumps and rocks. In the end no one is left alive except for the panda soldiers. "WE WIN AHAHAHA"!
And then a Panda in a black suit erase's everyones memory and this never happens!
