Tishrei
After ending the Central American War President Taylor would turn much of his focus towards home however events abroad would still come to affect the Confederacy. In late September 1972 Egyptian, Syrian, & Jordanian troops supported by the Soviet Union would invade Israel. Following the Egyptian capture of the Sinai on September 29 & Syria’s capture of the Golan Heights on October 1 the US & Confederacy, along with most CoN nations would lend their support to Israel sending them mass amounts of supplies & weaponry.
For weeks US, Confederate, & British ships & aircraft would rush into Israel delivering much needed supplies & equipment. The arrival of these supplies would be largely contributed to the Israeli victory at the Battle of Khan Yunis which would end Egypt’s offensive operations. The CoN assistance wouldn’t go unnoticed however, on September 30 the Soviet Union would threaten intervention in support of its Arab allies. Though there would be a fear of the Soviet threats coming true the US, Confederacy, & Britain would call Moscow’s bluff & continue shipping aid & though threats would continue no intervention would come.
Threats of attack would also come from Egypt though like with the Soviets they would be mostly false however for one occasion. On October 7 the Confederate LST the CSS Comal County would be struck by two missiles from two Egyptian MiG’s causing the ship to sink & the death of 46 sailors. The international incident would see the deployment of the CSS Stonewall to the Mediterranean & the retaliatory air strike against the Egyptian air base that the MiG’s had flown out of resulting in 24 Egyptian dead. For the rest of the war tensions would remain high as Confederate warships would loom just off the Egyptian coast, however fortunately no further incidents would occur.
The Tishrei War as it would be called would end on October 20,1972 with the Arab nations withdrawing to their prewar boundaries. Hostilities would remain high in the area for another decade however with the Israeli-Jordanian Peace Treaty in 1980 & the Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty in 1982 ( & the return of the Sinai in 1985) peace would come for the majority of the nations in the area. The one exception however would be from the Soviet ally Syria.
