Interesting fiction scenario developing here.
Need to see a lot more than this ``to be continued``.. piece.
Interesting that ``New Delhi`` is missing thus far.

Good story. Keep it coming.

If I can extrapolate from the first chapter, Israel is planning to attack Pakistan, probably its nuclear installations. Unlike India, Israel has no pact with Pak saying it will not attack its nuclear installations, Pak missiles are probably not long range enough to reach Israel. Also Israel being small in size, a miss could hit friendly Arab countries. Good going.

Pak cannot nuke Israel either as it would also take down its Arab neighbours.

For Israel, this would take out the threat of the Islamic Bomb. However, the big Q would be - does Israel have the capability to fly all the way and attack Pak? You can rule out any assistance from India for Israeli attacks, not just because of moral reasons, but also because India would not want to risk nuclear war with its neighbour. All the same, it would love Israel handling Pakistan... Now what will Pak do?

The story has good potential... cannot wait for the next chapter.
