Question

In 1967, some Arab states got together again to attack and destroy Israel.

In this context, answer the following questions:

1. Mention any two responses of Israel to the grave threat of a planned attack by the Arabs. [2]
2. State any two reasons for the spectacular Israeli victory in the Six-Day War of 1967. [2]

Answer 1

(a)

During the 1967 Arab-Israel war, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Palestine fought together against Israel.

1. Israel was prepared for the violence, and on June 5, 1967, it launched a surprise attack on the Egyptian Air Force, destroying 90 percent of the fleet. This caused them to panic.
2. Similar impacts were launched against the Syrian air force, which was destroyed. Without air support, Arab troops were quickly defeated. In this manner, the Israelis won.

(b)

The reasons for the spectacular victory of Israel were as follows:

1. Since the Israeli army, air force, and administration were well informed of every move made by the Arab countries and neutralized all of their attempts, there was excellent coordination between them.
2. The Israeli military and air force battled on multiple fronts and captured key Arab regions, including the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, the West Bank in Jordan, and the Golan Heights in Syria.
