Operation Olive Leaves

​Operation Olive Leaves (Mivtza ʿAlei Zayit) also known as Operation Kinneret was an Israeli reprisal operation undertaken in December 10–11, 1955, against fortified Syrian emplacements near the north-eastern shores of the Sea of Galilee. The raid was prompted by repeated Syrian attacks on Israeli fishing in the Sea of Galilee. The successful operation resulted in the destruction of the Syrian emplacements. The Syrians also sustained fifty-four killed in action. Another thirty were taken prisoner. The IDF suffered six fatalities.
