Operation Dawn 7 (Operation Walfajr-7; Persian: عملیات والفجر 7) was an offensive launched by Iran during Iran–Iraq War. It was aborted after just a few days of fighting[2] due to the specific conditions of the region/war,[3] such as: releasing water at the region by the Iraqi forces, etc.[4]
The (military) code of the operation was "Ya Zahra" (یازهرا); and the considered operational areas were consisted of Chazabeh which was located in the distance of 110 km to the north west of Ahwaz and Chilat (Dehloran).[5] (At the area of Zeid and Kooshk, where was located at the geographical location of --the north of-- Hosseinieh station.)[6][7]
Eventually, the determined operation[8][9] which was planned to be done after the Operation Dawn-6,[10][11] finally finished before beginning (as a specific situation and operation). Operation Dawn-7 went to the next step to perform the next operation --namely "Operation Dawn 8" (Operation Walfajr-8) on 9 February 1986 on the south fronts, located in Abadan (Faw).[12]
