[QUOTE="soberups, post: 924377, member: 14668"] In 1967, Israel was only about 15 miles wide at its narrowest point which in military terms is virtually indefensible. It was facing an imminent invasion by Syrian, Egyptian and Jordanian troops so it struck preemptively in order to destroy Arab aircraft on the ground and ensure air superiority over a battlefield that was merely minutes away from its population centers. Israel in 1967 was a nation that was surrounded on all sides by countries that were bent upon its destruction. It did not have the luxury of waiting to be attacked before responding. Israel is known to have possessed 3 or 4 crude atomic bombs in 1967, yet it never used them. Nor did it use nuclear weapons during the 1973 Yom Kippur war when it was once again attacked by the combined forces of Syria, Egypt, Jordan and Iraq. 5 years after the Yom Kippur war Israel signed a peace treaty with Egypt and returned the entire Sinai region to Egyptian control, [B]and it continues to honor that peace treaty today.
