Synopsis
A Raid on the Red Sea is a thrilling, real-life tale of illegal gun-running in the Middle East. Recounting the most successful Israeli intelligence operation since the legendary Entebbe hostage rescue, Gen. Amos Gilboa gives the harrowing details for the first time of the secret, close working relations between Israeli and American intelligence in the seizure of the Karine A ship.
At 0400 hours, Thursday, January 3, two fast boats of Israel's naval commando unit close in on the stern of the Palestinian Authority's Karine A and board the ship. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Corps clandestinely loaded its cargo: fifty-six tons of high-grade, long-range weapons destined for the Gaza Strip. The Israelis' plan to seize it goes awry when they find nothing but a confused group of Egyptians, Jordanians, and Palestinians. Have they boarded the wrong ship? Is there going to be an international incident disgracing Israel? The incident was the first time that Iran tried to alter the balance of power in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by providing the Palestinian Authority with rockets far more destructive than the ones they already possessed--an escalation of the Middle East conflict that is still continuing today.

A Raid on the Red Sea
Seller: Rarewaves.com USA, London, LONDO, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: New. A Raid on the Red Sea is the thrilling, real-life tale of illegal gun-running in the Middle East. In this firsthand account, Amos Gilboa gives the harrowing details of the secret close-working relations between Israeli and American intelligence in the seizure of the Karine A ship, the most successful Israeli intelligence operation since the legendary Entebbe hostage rescue. At 0400 hours, January 3, 2002, two fast boats of Israel's naval commando unit closed in on the stern of the Palestinian Authority's Karine A. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had clandestinely loaded its cargo: fifty-six tons of high-grade, long-range weapons destined for the Gaza Strip. The Israelis' plan to seize it went awry when they found nothing but a confused group of Egyptians, Jordanians, and Palestinians. Had they boarded the wrong ship? Was there going to be an international incident disgracing Israel? This drama has more than its share of plot twists. The story's hero, a low-level female intelligence analyst, was the first to grasp the grave danger posed by the Karine A. Analyzing piles of disinformation, she kept on the scent of the ship, tracking it from Egypt to Sudan to Dubai. Only through the joint efforts of Israeli and U.S. naval intelligence, Mossad and the CIA, was the ship stopped and calamity averted. Seizing the ship led to a fateful reorientation of U.S. policy regarding the Middle East with consequences to this day, from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the 2020 assassination of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force chief Qasem Soleimani.
