April 22, 1998, 4:17 a.m., Golan Heights, Command Post of the Syrian Army 5th Division.
Brigadier General Hassan stood next to the newly planted Syrian flag on the mountaintop, looking down at the shimmering lake at the foot of the mountain.
Lake Tiberias.
The lifeline of the Jews, nearly half of Israel's freshwater source.
Now it's under Syria's artillery.
"Commander."
The staff officer ran over, handing over an intercepted Squid military communication, "The Squid's water purification plant is still operating. They're drawing water from the lake to supply the whole country."
Hassan took the communication, glanced at it.
The location of the purification plant, coordinates of the water pumps, direction of the pipelines, all was there.
