“For three days I was constantly fighting with my gas mask on. The cunts literally bombed the town of Heelan that all it was simply bodies of corpses and toxic mustard gas…”
-ABC interview with a young male Australian soldier, November 29th, 2021
The Battle of Heelan was the most horrifying battle I ever been in the middle of. For three whole days there was nothing but gas in front of you which was toxic that if you took off your gas mask or had it been cracked or cut you would choke to death. And to make matters worst you couldn’t see 4 feet in front of you in any direction almost as if the gas created a solid opaque wall.
I remember many soldiers in the IC found a better solution to this problem by waving large red flashing air traffic lights the ones similar to how people wave them around on a runway. While others such as myself would use the flashlights that came attached with our rifles and hoped for the best that the battery wouldn’t die or get busted. And it really helped a lot at night otherwise you were on your own for the most part in what I would describe as a ocean of deadly gas.
And every second you heard screams and gunfire from all directions that you couldn’t tell whether you were getting shot at or not, to which many if not most soldiers like myself took cover behind large ruins or inside abandoned houses that had dead occupants in it. Some of the occupants who were already dead were long dead before any of us arrived seeing the Hamas Caliphate literally plastered the entire town of Heelan mustard for the past two days from above air due to the organization having access to a couple of planes they managed to steal from the Saudi Air Force at the start of the Saudi Civil War.
As for me the entire time I just kept myself inside an abandoned mosque along with ten other soldiers half of whom were Peruvian and New Zealander. I remember some buildings like the mosque we occupied was not filled with mustard gas, but since all the windows were shattered long before we came it meant that no one was going to be able to have a breath of fresh air anytime soon unless they wanted to have access to the underground sewer which I remember we could access in the bathroom of the mosque. But the problem with that is the sewer smelled horrible since it was filled with shit and piss all the way up to your knees.
The smell I recalled was revolting but it was sadly the only access we had to oxygen so I had to along with the soldiers that were with me had to breathe in the revolting smell that some of them even held their noses and just breathed through their mouths.
The nights were more scary as I remember there was no way most of us could sleep as the battle was still raging on even when it was pitch black. Only two soldiers with me both of whom were New Zealanders managed to fall asleep since their bodies was filled with such exhaustion and stress, and even then they only managed to get two hours of sleep.
The second day I remember we could tell it was morning due to the sun gleaming through the shattered windows straight through the wall of toxic gas. And in late morning more backup came in the form of tanks and further artillery. I heard the engines of at least six tanks drive past the mosque we occupied along with the loud bangs of the tank guns firing constantly only guided by the sound and pure luck. However we had 200 tanks that day equipped with x-ray vision cameras allowing the tank gunners inside to see through buildings and see the enemies inside by heat vision. But every single shot fired made a ringing in my ears due to how extremely loud they were, and I’m fucking surprised how I didn’t become permanently deaf from it.
Even at the end of it all it was a pyrrhic victory seeing all the remaining town inhabitants were already dead long before we arrived. In other words the way I would describe it is that we won a battle on top of dead men.

IC forces won control over the city of Rasheedesh.

“It literally took us three days to capture the city from the Hamas. It’s a miracle that mustard gas or any kind of harmful gases weren’t used like what happened days prior in Heelan.”
-Basque/Euskadian General Antxón Extarte interviewed by HBC News 24/7, November 31st, 2021
The Battle of Rasheedesh was an important significant battle during Operation Ishtar/Cyrus as it was a significant victory for the International Coalition (IC). The city itself was already occupied by the Hamas Caliphate since late August of 2019, and by the time the IC had arrived much of the city was vacant with very little signs of civilians as most of which were taken by the Hamas and sent to labor camps deep in the desert to make weapons and train new soldiers.
The town’s defense that the Hamas had was mainly artillery mounted on Toyota and Datsun (long since defunct as it now known by the name Nissan) trucks ranging from the late 1970’s to early 1980’s. Such common truck used to mount artillery on was the Datsun 720 Pickup seeing how they were built to carry heavy artillery used to shoot down IC aircraft overhead.
The Hamas in Rasheedesh also had plenty of driven artillery too mainly that was stolen from the Saudi Army during the start of the Saudi Civil War. Such commonly used vehicles used for rocket artillery was the Brazilian made Astros II MLRS which Saudi Arabia had purchased from Brazil back in the late 1980’s. This of course allowed Brazilians in the battle able to know how exactly they were being used thus giving better reaction times and informing military officials the weaknesses and flaws the Astros II MLRS had.
And surprisingly this was also the first notable battle in which the Hamas Caliphate used tanks on the battlefield, although they were being already used beforehand in the war but only in smaller lesser known battles. But the battle itself saw heavy usage of the M60 Patton tanks (purchased by Saudi Arabia before Doomsday, when the Saudi Civil War began the Hamas Caliphate eventually stole many of them) and along with various Saudi armored vehicles such as the AMX-10P (having been purchased from France in 1974) and a few military jeeps.
As for the IC in this battle was comprised of Australian, Brazilian, New Zealander, Texan, Basque, Israeli, Floridan, Paraguayan, East Timorese, and Solomon Islander soldiers. Although Australians, Brazilians, New Zealanders, Solomon Islanders, Paraguayans, and East Timorese troops were wearing the PLAO insignia on their uniforms, they also had worn newly manufactured light blue IC helmets that matched a very huge resemblence to the famous former UN blue helmets. Not to mention the Battle of Rasheedesh was one of the first battles in which the nation of Euskadi (or commonly known internationally as the “Basque Republic”) had managed to show its presence to the outside world beyond the Iberian peninsula as General Antxon Extarte was the first Basque general to be involved in the Saudi Campaign as it was now being commonly called.
During the three day battle the Euskadian Air Force provided heavy assistance to the Australians, Brazilians, Paraguayans, Israelis, and New Zealanders in order to provide them more attacks to the Hamas troops scattered throughout the vacant city as many places were bombed from above. Meanwhile Floridans and Texans provided significant counter-guerilla tactics against the Hamas in the city being able to ambush them without noticing for the most part. This allowed the causalities to rise for the Hamas Caliphate during the three day battle, to which eventually the Australians and Brazilians quickly picked up on the tactics. As for heavy vehicle assistance being of mainly tanks and armored vehicles was provided mostly by the Brazilian Army, Paraguayan Army, Israeli Army, and surprising the East Timorese Army having recently manufactured their first war tanks dubbed the Amarals having been named after the first president of East Timor being Francisco Xavier do Amaral. Although East Timor in this battle only was able to provide a total amount of eight of their newly made tanks (having been recently shipped from Dili across the Indian Ocean to Yemen and then to Saudi Arabia), it was enough to have the nation reveal its might being the proud member it is of the ANZC. And lastly artillery was entirely provided by the Texan, New Zealanders, Brazilians, and Australians during the battle as they were able to take out many enemy hideouts and outposts across the city in the three day battle.
Oddly enough for the Hamas Caliphate in the battle took a heavy loss having lost a total of 64,510 troops to combat, and 11,000 captured by the IC, and 2,100 Hamas soldiers having either escaped the city or retreated. During the bloody three day battle one of the most feared Hamas commander, Mohammed Sajid whom was from India was killed in action by a long-ranged Basque sniper to which instantly the Hamas commander had a metal bullet pierced through his forehead through his brain and out the back of his skull instantly killing him within a split second. As for the oddly named General Batman bin Suparman, whom was born in Singapore and having changed his name to “Batman son of Superman” in 2009 and eventually become radicalized by Islamic fundamentalism along with addiction to cocaine; would end up becoming MIA only to be discovered to have escaped with the 2,100 escapees. Batman bin Suparman himself would continue fighting against the IC until 2024, in which he would meet his end towards the end of a revolver from a Brazilian soldier named Gabriel Francisco.
