Midnight in Palestine
Scene 1: The Briefing
In the dimly lit command center, Zayan and Ubaid stood with their gear strapped and ready. Major Hamza's voice echoed over the secure line.
"We've confirmed that an Israeli convoy is infiltrating Palestinian territory, likely carrying high-value weapons and intelligence assets. Your mission is to join forces with Hamas troops under the command of Abul Fateh Tipu, who's waiting for your arrival."
Hamza paused. "Your extraction expert, Salman, is ready. He'll deploy you to Palestine and extract the team when the job is done. Be advised—you need to enter Palestine at midnight to avoid detection. Timing is critical. Good luck."
Zayan checked his watch. "We're on the clock."

Scene 2: The Drop-off
The roaring hum of an unmarked military chopper cut through the night as Salman prepared to deploy Zayan and Ubaid just beyond the Palestinian border. The darkness cloaked their movement as the helicopter hovered inches above the rocky ground.
Zayan gave Salman a thumbs-up. "We'll make the call when we're ready to exfil."
"Copy that," Salman replied over the radio. "I'll be standing by. Midnight insertion starts now—stay hidden and stay sharp."
With that, Zayan and Ubaid slid down the ropes and landed silently on the ground, weapons drawn.

Scene 3: The Meeting
Navigating through a series of alleys and deserted streets, the two agents reached the safehouse on the outskirts of Gaza where Abul Fateh Tipu and his men were waiting.
The leader greeted them with a stern nod. "You're right on time. We've got intel on the convoy—they'll move under heavy escort in three hours. They're carrying something important, but we need your skills to take them down without drawing too much attention."
Zayan studied the map on the table. "We'll ambush the convoy at the southern checkpoint." He looked at Ubaid and then back at Tipu. "We'll disable their vehicles and intercept whatever they're transporting."
Tipu's eyes gleamed with approval. "You take the lead. We'll follow your orders."

Scene 4: Laying the Ambush
Zayan, Ubaid, and the Hamas fighters moved swiftly through the shadows, setting explosives along the narrow road where the convoy would pass. Time was ticking, and every second counted.
"Explosives are in place," Ubaid whispered through the comms. "We've got a 30-second window to block them off."
Zayan checked his rifle, the night vision scope glowing faintly. "Positions, everyone. We hit hard and fast—no second chances."
---
Scene 5: The Attack
The low hum of engines echoed through the night as the Israeli convoy entered the ambush zone. Zayan waited, heart steady, as the first vehicle approached the detonator's trigger point.
"Now!" he whispered.
A deafening explosion ripped through the night, flipping the lead vehicle and blocking the road. Gunfire erupted as the convoy's guards scrambled to respond, but Zayan, Ubaid, and the Hamas fighters were already in position.
Zayan took down two soldiers with precise sniper shots, while Ubaid laid down suppressive fire to pin the remaining guards. In moments, the convoy was in disarray.

Scene 6: Securing the Target
Ubaid kicked open the back of one of the trucks, revealing weapons crates, encrypted files, and advanced communication equipment.
"This is what they were after," Ubaid muttered.
Zayan nodded. "Tag everything. We need to take the intel with us." He quickly downloaded data from the convoy's systems onto a secure drive, his fingers flying across the device. "We've got what we came for."

Scene 7: Extraction Under Fire
Just as the team began retreating, enemy reinforcements arrived. Zayan's comm unit buzzed with Salman's voice. "I've got you on visual—hostiles incoming. Get to the extraction point fast!"
Bullets whizzed past as Zayan and Ubaid fought their way through the chaos. Smoke grenades detonated around them, creating a wall of cover as they sprinted towards the extraction point.
"Move, move!" Ubaid shouted as the roar of Salman's extraction chopper grew louder overhead.
---
Scene 8: The Final Escape
With the team pinned down by enemy fire, Salman lowered the extraction ropes just in time. Zayan covered the retreat, picking off soldiers with precision shots, while Ubaid climbed onto the chopper.
"Zayan, you're the last one—let's go!" Salman barked over the radio.
Zayan sprinted towards the ropes, leaping onto them as the helicopter began to ascend. The extraction chopper soared into the night sky, dodging bursts of gunfire from below.
---
Scene 9: Mission Accomplished
Safely aboard the chopper, Zayan handed the secure drive to Salman. "The intel is all here. We've disrupted their operation."
Salman grinned. "Perfect. Another step ahead of them."
As the chopper sped away from hostile airspace, Zayan glanced at Ubaid, a hint of exhaustion in his eyes. "We did good tonight."
Ubaid chuckled. "Just another day in the field."
---
The mission in Palestine was a resounding success. Zayan and Ubaid not only intercepted the convoy but also secured critical intelligence, setting back enemy operations. The shadow war continued, but tonight, they had struck a decisive blow.
