History
During the War of 1996, Israel was put into a state of emergency after a City Destroyer appeared over Jerusalem. Soon afterwards, the Israeli government close down its airspace when Arab planes attempted to observe the City Destroyer and subsequently causing a provocation with the Israeli Air Force, which shot down two Iraqi planes. This shutdown also applied to Israel's allies.[1] Jerusalem was soon destroyed, and the City Destroyer later attacked Tel Aviv.
Surviving members of the Israeli Air Force formed an unexpected alliance with their former Middle Eastern enemies and saving Mecca from a City Destroyer.[1]
