Product Description
During the course of the Gulf War (beg. 17 January 1991), Saddam Hussein fired 39 SCUD missiles at Israel in 19 volleys. Miraculously, although many
were wounded and much destroyed, only 13 people died as a result of the attacks. The Israeli Defense Forces made it known that "[i]t was Baghdad's declared goal to torch half the state of Israel."
During these days of terror and fear, missiles fell randomly from the sky onto apartment buildings and shops, sirens split the night sending Israelis racing from their beds to sealed rooms and bomb shelters, placing their infants in gas tents and donning gas masks against the threat of chemical warfare. the cost was enormous and the damage caused by the 39 Iraqi Scud missiles that landed in Tel Aviv and Haifa was extensive. Approximately 3,300 apartments and other buildings were affected in the greater Tel Aviv area. Some 1,150 people who were evacuated had to be housed at a dozen hotels at a cost of $20,000 per night. Beyond the direct costs of military preparedness and damage to property, the Israeli economy was also hurt by the inability of many Israelis to work under the emergency conditions. The economy functioned at no more than 75 percent of normal capacity during the war, resulting in a net loss to the country of $3.2 billion. "Codeword Viper" documents those days of chaos with full-color, up-close footage of the consequences the Iraqi dictator's wrath had upon this tiny country of brave soldiers, how they responded and coped and how life went on regardless f the daily threat.
