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.
