Bu noktada bozulan güç dengesini fiili hareketlerle ve kuvvet kullanarak kendi çıkarları doğrultusunda yeniden tesis etmeye çalışmıştır. Ülkenin fırsatçı ve pragmatist tutumuna en güzel örnek 1967 Altı Gün Savaşı’dır. Bu savaş sırasında baskın bir saldırı ile Arap devletlerinin hava kuvvetlerini yerde iken imha etmiş ve ilan edilen ateşkese rağmen ilerleyerek Golan Tepelerini işgal etmiştir. 1973 yılında ise durum tersine dönmüş, İsrail bu sefer baskına uğrayan taraf olmuştur. Bu durumu unutmayan İsrail bir daha benzeri bir durumu yaşamamak adına o dönemde önemli bir sorun haline gelen SAM tehdidinin nasıl bertaraf edileceği konusu ile meşgul olmaya başlamıştır. Bu duruma çözüm bulmak adına bir dizi çalışma yapılmıştır ve yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda ortaya bir plan çıkmıştır. Bu plan Operation Mole Cricket-19’dur. İşte bu çalışmada Suriye SAM bataryalarının yok edilmesi için hazırlanan 1982 tarihli Operation Mole Cricket-19 örnek olay olarak incelenecektir. Konu ile ilgili literatüre katkı yapmak amacı öngörülen bu çalışmada tarihselci bir yaklaşım ve didaktik bir üslup tercih edilmiştir. Bu amaçla konu ile ilgili literatür taranmış; birincil ve ikincil kaynaklar, resmi raporlar vb. incelenmiş ve çalışmanın ortaya çıkması sağlanmıştır. KW - 1982 Lübnan Savaşı KW - Bekaa Vadisi KW - Dana Burnu 19 Operasyonu KW - Suriye KW - David Ivry N2 - Since its emergence on the political scene in the Middle East in May 1948, Israel has changed the balances of power in the region and found its neighbors as enemies because its existence was imposed on them. At this point, it tried to re-establish the disturbed balance of power according to its own interests by unilateral actions. The best example to those kind of actions was the 1967 Six-Day War. During this war, it destroyed the air forces of the Arab states while they were on the ground with a suprise attack and advanced despite the declared ceasefire and occupied the Golan Heights. In 1973, the situation was changed, this time Israel was the one that faced a suprise attack.Not forgetting this bitter experince, Israel began to deal with the issue of how to eliminate the SAM threat, which became an important problem at that time. A series of studies have been carried out to find a solution to this situation, and as a result of the studies, a plan has emerged. This plan is Operation Mole Cricket-19. In this study, Operation Mole Cricket-19, dated 1982, prepared to destroy Syrian SAM batteries, will be examined as a case study.
