how is it possible that Israel, won the SIX DAY WAR, when 5 muslim countries were attacking them?

Question

to blackhole gravity,

i think the muslim nations deserved to be frightened for being such bullies.

and for being such liars. remember? Egypt lied to the Jordianian King that they were winning the war, which in fact was not. the Jordanians rushed in, only to be defeated like pigs.

Answer 1

I read a book from the period just after the 6 day war recently- the Israelis were as surprised at the result as the rest of the world. They expected to be able to just force the Arab countries back, pull them back into their defensive positions and have the UN mission which had pulled out at the insistence of the Egyptians return to maintian the borders. Their amazing success was not predicted up front. The entry of Jordan into the war was also intially not expected- Hussein had actually been getting a lot less hostile towards Israel and they thought he was more likely to become a neutral partner. Jordan signing the defence pact with Egypt/Syria/Iran/Lebanon two days before the war started was probably one of the precipitating factors, making Israel certain that its neighbors were going to be attacking in the very near future.

In the end, the element of the surprise proved overwhelming (at least for the Egyptians and Syrians- the Jordanians were ready for the war- after all they attacked Israel two days into it and weren't taken by surprise like their allies). Wiping out the Egyptian and Syrian air forces on the ground gave Israel an immense advantage in terms of air superiority, better training and moral took care of the rest.

(The better equipment one is debateable. Israel had mostly French bought equipment and a bit of Canadian equipment- in those days the USA had an arms embargo against Israel, the Arabs were equipped with the latest soviet weaponry and had soviet "advisors" training and directing their forces.)

Answer 2

Allow me to correct some errors.

In 1967 Israel had no nuclear weapons. They would not have a weapon and delivery system for another seven to ten years. There was no US intervention and very little help from the US except for some intelligence. The US sixth fleet was sent to monitor the situation.

There were no satellites in 1967 and that type of intelligence gathering was done by spyplanes like the U2. There were none in the region at the time.

The Arab and Persian armies had vastly superior weapons compared to Israel which were generally more modern than Israels weapons. While the Arabs and Persians depended on their weapons and numerical superiority to instill fear, Israel attacked with a ferocity that gave them almost immediate air supremacy and their armor, although inferior to their enemies, Israel used superior tactics and will to defeat the largest assembly of armor and artillery ever assembled against an enemy. No army has ever moved faster, captured so much territory in such a short period of time as the Israelis did to defeat a vastly superior and better armed enemy.

Answer 3

Actually, Israel attacked Egypt first in the six day war, and it was only against 3 countries. Check your history.

It destroyed Egypt's air force on the ground, then quickly overcame the less well-armed and less numerous ground forces near the border. Without an air force, the Egyption cities of Port Said and Ismailya were pretty defenceless against an air attack.

Egypt, Syria and Jordan had mutual defence treaties, so Jordan (apparently) fired some shots at Israel. However, when Israel turned on Jordan, the Jordanian army only fought over Jerusalem, every other town in the West Bank fell without a shot being fired.

At least 3 villages in the West Bank were razed and the people expelled, as well as over 100 in the Golan Heights. Over 300,000 people in total were exiled from the West Bank and Golan Heights and never allowed to return home as the Israelis wanted to expand their borders (this is known as ethnic cleansing).

Answer 4

certainly, that's no longer genuine. Israel fought on some fronts, yet in no way on an identical time. They took care of Egypt on the 1st 2 days and destroyed their military on the border, and could to combat interior the conflict, then Lebanon the subsequent couple, Palestine.. in the event that they had to combat on all fronts on an identical time, they might have fairly lost. It replaced into an identical air power that gained on all 3 fronts, that would desire to in no way have got here approximately on an identical time. Why did the allied countries no longer attack on an identical time is a good question. yet greater effectual making plans and components are genuine. the familiar rule of the day replaced into 1litre of water in step with soldier in step with day. Israel gave their adult adult males (interior the nice and cozy barren area) and compelled them to drink a million litre in step with guy or woman in step with hour. It wasn't plenty Israel, as exhaustion and dehydration that killed Egyptian infantrymen to commence that conflict, over 0.5 the deaths have been of taking flight infantrymen falling over and shortage of existence, no longer something brought about via Israel. And on an identical time as I stay in NZ, we could be truthful, Israel did commence this conflict, yet there replaced into going to be a conflict, whether Israel began it or no longer, everybody replaced into making waiting, everybody needed the conflict, it replaced into going to happen the two way.

Answer 5

The Muslims had no idea that Israel had such modern and wicked weapons. This was before the days of terror. Now things are much different.

The muslims have figured out that they can use their own to give them advantage even if many of their own die.

Palastine a good wxample. use people to shield you and don't care if they die.

Answer 6

Israel had nuclear weapons, and threatened to use them if the Arab Armies didn't pull back, The Iraqi, Egyptian and Jordanian squadrons reached the heart of Israel but suprisingly pulled back, can you guess why?

Besides, the Egyptian air force was wiped out the night earlier in a surprise attack.

Answer 7

1. Money, they'd bought better planes and tanks

2 better generals

3. They attacked first, if they had waited to be attacked, like you are claiming they were, they would have had a much tougher time. War is always easier when you can destroy the enemies planes while they're still on the ground.

Answer 8

Superior tactics, motivated troops and good equipment. The same way you win any war. Is that meant to be a religious question? They have a military section you know. Oh, god wanted them to win....sheesh

Answer 9

Because of their Unity & Boldness. Israel succeeded in its Mission because of Contrymen's support & loyalness to country.

Answer 10

Short answer - US help.

US satelitte feeds, US armour, US bullets.

Oh, and a very well trained army who were fighting for their country's existence. When it's backs to the wall time, one can often find that extra bit of zazz needed to win the battle.
