Target of Opportunity: Intercept Hezbollah Arms Shipment from Syria
Intel: Ground operatives on the Northern and Eastern Lebanon-Syria boarder have spotted large convoys of missile and rocket trucks believed to be headed to Hezbollah.
An attack on an Israeli settlement north of Haifa is expected to be imminent.
VMFA-115 will launch from the Roosevelt off the coast of Israel and eliminate the convoy.

Ford flight will strike the eastern convoy. Convoy is protected by mobile AAA and SA-13s.
Colt flight will strike the western convoy. Convoy is protected by mobile AAA and SA-13s.
Only vehicles entering Lebanon are weapons free targets.
However, if other Syrian assets (air or ground) demonstrate hostile intent or close within 25 nm of the strike package, then they are considered to be valid targets.
