#1 Love these Israel Defense Forces operational names. Operation Days of Penitence. How about Operation Old Testament? Operation Atonement? Operation Kill the Shlemazels?

Personally, I like Operation Whup Ass. Oh, well what's in a name, the outcome was good.

#2 The Arab controlled areas of the Gaza Strip is a shmutzik place infested with creeping, slithering terrorists. Operation Clean Up 100%

#3 Those buggers must be reeling at the moment.

Armageddon is also a good name for an operation, and it's uniquely middle eastern, being named after a town in Syria called Meggido.

#4 I like Operation Vengeance is Ours. Or Operation Our God is mightier than Yours. That'll get 'em going.

#5 I have a feeling Israel has the name Armageddon tagged onto some future operation they'd rather they never had to put into action.

We used Operation Gomorrah for RAF air raids of Hamburg in '43, which at the time were the biggest ever undertaken. Don't know what happened to Soddom...

PS Tony, Miggido's actually in Israel.

#7 Sorry, I was looking at another source (about the egyptian New Kingdom) and that mentioned Syria - I guess I didn't read it closely enough ;)

Nope I didn't - it was Thothmes III who fought the Kings of Palestine and Syria at Meggido. (learn something new every day on Rantburg!)

I thought the ultimate Israeli operation is the Samson option? I agree though, that an operation called Armageddon would be bad enough.

#8 Operation Deus Irae. Roll it on the tongue. Sounds good.
