Arab Israeli War
This is an excerpt from the paper...
Officially there have been seven Arab-Israeli Wars, the first being the Israeli War of Independence in 1948 and the latest being the Second Persian Gulf War in 1991. However, the Six-Day War, as it is called, in 1967, saw Israel expand its territory in the Middle East after attacked Egypt, Jordan, and Syria simultaneously on July 5, 1967.

They could fly below altitudes radar of the time could detect. There was also some luck mixed in with all the planning, like the Israeli pilots, who were mostly in their early twenties, missing the majority of dummy planes and the Egyptian war minister being out of contact with his field commanders for two hours. All combined the destruction was swift and certain, “Over 250 Egyptian aircraft had been destroyed or severely damaged. Twenty-three radar installations and antiaircraft-missile sites had been destroyed or incapacitated. Approximately 100 of Egypt’s 350 qualified air-combat pilots were dead, and many more had been injured, mostly in strafing attacks. The Egyptian Air Force was no longer a factor in the war that by then was embroiling that pivotal corners of the Middle East” (Hammel 171).
