The Syrian Army broke through the defenses around Rafid. Large numbers of Russian built T-62's are in contact with our forces and are proving to be very deadly. Latest Intel indicates that the Syrian 5th Mechanized and 1st Armored Divisions are driving on our settlements in the Golan Heights.  A regiment-size formation is heading for settlement A9. Intercept the Syrians, halt them in their tracks, and keep the main access road clear of enemy units.
