During this operation, Israeli forces aimed to capture the strategic Latrun area, which was controlled by Jordanian forces. The operation began on 15 October 1948 and lasted until 18 October 1948. The Israeli forces met strong resistance from the Jordanian Arab Legion, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides. The Israeli forces used a combination of infantry, armoured vehicles and air support to attack the Jordanian positions. Despite initial successes in capturing some parts of the Latrun area, the operation ultimately failed to achieve its objectives. The Jordanian forces managed to hold their ground and repel the Israeli advances. Operation Danny marked a critical phase in the Arab-Israeli conflict, highlighting the challenges faced by both sides and their determination to control strategic territory. The failure of the operation led to a reassessment of Israeli military strategies and tactics. It is important to note that while Operation Danny refers to a real historical event, it is often used as a fictional or symbolic reference in popular culture. In these contexts, the specifics and outcomes of Operation Danny may differ significantly from the actual historical event.
