| Summary |
On June 5, 1967, Israel launched the most successful preemptive air strike in military history against its Egyptian neighbor. Within a few hours, virtually the entire Egyptian Air Force lay in smoldering wreckage. Fighting on three fronts against the combined might of five different armies, Israel secured a stunning victory in a mere six days. How did this small territory manage to overcome an enemy that had twice as many soldiers, three times as many tanks, and four times as many airplanes? Featuring firsthand testimonies from combatants and military planners, as well as key figures in the intelligence world, this program offers insight into the meticulous preparations the Israeli military undertook in the years leading up to the infamous strike. |
