You could smell the fear permiating out of the Saradian city of Herzliya. The Saradian tanks were heading for them, and everybody knew why. But what were their target? Would they just be passing through to some other target, or were they going to blow the city to bits? Maybe they were heading towards Hadera (they would likely pass through Herzliya to get to Hadera)?
Everyone hate a right to be nervous. Herzliya's population is predominately ethnic Haderan and Lohamei Herut Yerushaláyim (the Fighters for the Freedom of Yerushaláyim) aka Lehy, the organization responsible for the recent bombing in Husun, has their HQ set up here. But Lehy informants are under the impression that Saradian officials believe the attack came from a Hadera-based group.
It was 4:30 am. Ira Abaddon and Jael Namir had parked a car laden with an EFP. It was aimed out towards the street to put a hole in any unsuspecting tanks that happened to drive by. Ira and Jael weren't the only ones preparing the car bombs, they were being placed all over Herzliya in the even of a major attack here. Most were parked on the main street going throught the middle of town; the one the Saradian tanks were almost guaranteed to use. This is where Ira and Jael parked their car.
The two men got out onto the nearly lifeless street. Most people were still asleep. "Alright, follow me, Jael." Ira said.
"Will do." The two began walking northward through various small streets. They were heading towards a Lehy meeting place. Jael just transferred here and doesn't know his way around; Ira on the the other hand has lived here his entire life.
"This is the place." Ira said as they came upon a two-story store named Ceragon.
"Are you sure?" questioned Jael.
"100% sure. Just keep following me." Ira led Jael down a filthy alley and around to the rear of the store. There was a door back there, and Ira took out a key, unlocked it, and went inside with Jael right behind him.
They were greeted by the Herzliya cell leader, Avraham Stern, in a dark room who's only light came from three computer screens. Avraham is a man of average height, straight blond hair, and a stern face. He is 30 years old.
"Hey Ira, Jael. Everything alright?"
"Yes sir, both cars have been positioned and I gave Jael a brief tour of the city before hand. That's why were a little late." Ira said.
"Good. That's all of them, then." Avraham went to one of the computers, brought an open spread sheet application to the front, and highlighted a two cells in green: one with Ira Abaddon in it and the other with Jael Namir. "You two can head 'home'. And just a reminder, the tanks are supposed to be coming through this afternoon by our estimates."
Ira and Jael turned to leave. "Good luck, and may Yahweh guide you."
Jael went to the apartment in front of the car they just positioned, and Ira went to the eastern end of the street where his apartment and his bomb-laden car is located.
Tomorrow, the Saradians should be in for one hell of a surprise. After all, the car bombs aren't the only thing Lehy has in store for them.
