Day 2 of the Gulf War starts out with Iraq having been decimated by the Coalition air campaign. The military action began at night and exploited all the Iraqi regimes known military weaknesses.  The Iraqi Air Force was basically grounded at night and the Army was unable to counter in any way. It was in the first 24 hours a rather lopsided affair. 

However, Saddam Hussein still had a few cards to play and in the middle of the night on day 2 he played one of his strongest ones. He launched bombs with some limited chemical weapons on them into Tel Aviv in an a attempt to draw Israel into the war and to divide up the United Nations coalition. This is that story in our third episode looking back at the first Gulf War.
