- The story of the Arab-Israeli War of 1967, the echoes of which are still heard today in the Middle East. In May of that year, Egypt, under President Nasser, blocked the Tiran Straits to Israeli shipping and began to gather huge numbers of troops in the Sinai Peninsula. At the same time King Hussein’s Jordan allowed Iraqi troops across her borders.
Israel was swift to respond to this turn of events, which she perceived as a clear threat to her security. There were devastating pre-emptive air strikes against the Egyptian air force, which was quickly put out of action. Jordanian and Syrian attacks were halted and repelled; after only six short days Israel had captured East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, the West Bank and Sinai itself.
The chastened Arab states refused to enter into peace negotiations with Israel. Although Sinai was returned to Egyptian control in 1979, Israel held on to her other prizes and it is these so-called ‘occupied territories’ which are so much a part of the troubles that blight the region to this very day.
Line Of Fire Series: New perspectives on history’s great battles
About The Series
Even at this great distance, the stories behind the battles that shaped the history of the world continue to captivate people everywhere. It is not difficult to see why. The sheer scale of the fighting on military history’s great battlefields boggles the imagination and tales of courage on those same bloody fields make the heart beat a little faster. To think of the fate of nations being decided by a single stroke of military genius or by sheer ineptitude or by the vagaries of fortune tingles the spine…to imagine ourselves faced with the same dangers as those confronted by soldiers throughout the years makes the blood run cold.
All of these things go some way to explaining why military history holds such an enduring place in the popular imagination - and the time has come to tell the stories of these great episodes from the past in a completely new way.

When you google "F-ck around and find out" there should be a picture of President Nasser.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fun fact: Nasser had provided guns/money to rebels in France's colony Algeria. France paid back Nasser by providing Mirage jet fighters and other warplanes to Israel. As you wrote, Nasser FAAFO. 😊
You were not watching
😂😂😂😂
And soon putin.
No one was complaining back then that Egypt was occupying Gaza and treating the Palestinians as second class citizens. Stop saying that it’s a territorial war and admit that the Muslim arabs want the Jews out for religious purposes.
True true true
And vice versa
If there’s one thing that this conflict showed, it’s that there’s a big difference between countries that are fighting to destroy another country and a country that is quite literally fighting for its very survival. These Israelis don’t wanna fight. But they have no choice. All these Israelis want to do is live in peace. But so many of the Arab nations want nothing more than its destruction for some of the most unjust reasons imaginable.
And even though it wasn’t this particular conflict. During the later, Yom Kippur war, it shows that even when the Israelis are caught napping in the end, they still emerge victorious.
Now, whether or not you agree with my sentiments on this frankly is irrelevant.
Thank you.
Hmmmm. I wonder where those brave Israelis got their weapons and militarily equipment. The UK?.......THE USA???? Yep, youre welcome from the actual heros. We also saved a bunch of yah in WW2. Israel wouldnt be anything without big daddy USA. And how does it want to repay? By currently trying to drag us into a war with Iran. Becauae it knows the USA is fantically obsessed with this little hole in the wall.
@@ultrajd good points.
The Yom Kippur War was a great turn around, but Israel got lucky in the Golan.
The Syrian had a chance to secure the only two bridges across the Jordan on the first day/night. The quality of the Israeli soldier will always be better than his/her foes because they are fighting for their lives.
@@Jesse-mt2ri and this is why the Israelis are so skilled. Countries like Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and all those other nations that want to destroy Israel just want to get rid of Israel because of some false sense of “honor“ but these Israelis are quite literally fighting for their lives. they are literally fighting for their very right to exist as a nation. They have everything to lose, and they will not wish what is rightfully theirs.
The various Arab nations are not even willing to let them live let alone exist as a nation. The Israelis know for a fact that if they ever lose, a few things are going to happen. Firstly, the nation of Israel will be destroyed. Secondly, it’s entirely likely that every single Israeli citizen will either be killed or forced to flee again. Essentially the Israelis are fighting to prevent another holocaust.
The sad part, though in my opinion, at least is the fact that these Israelis have regularly made offerings for peace and everything that have actually been let’s just say better for the other countries.
One great example is after the Yom Kippur war I think or maybe it was the six day war but I’m not entirely sure. The Israelis decided to completely withdraw from the Sinai peninsula. And they gave it back to the Egyptians. And it actually did help for a while. The Egyptian leadership was one of the first of the Arab nations to actually officially recognize Israel. Unfortunately, this didn’t go over too well with some of his Moore hardline cabinet members and other folks. And at a believe it was a military parade a couple of years later was assassinated.
Now the Goulon Heights, that’s a completely different can of worms and I’m not going to go into it because well dealing with these things can be very very delicate
This is overlooked especially of late in the US which hasn't minded loosing wars since 1945 - they can afford to. If Israel lost a war they wouldn't exist. (edit for the right 'to')
Excellent late '90's documentary. Some real good ones were made then.
There really was no Internet and the TV documentaries did their best to make a good product. The History Channel back then was really great.
I'm a historian in that I took a history degree but I have never been interested in military history. Yet I found this very interesting and easy to understand. Thank you for a great video.
It’s funny how other Arab states won’t take Palestinian refugees, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia Syria
Yeah, funny that. I wonder why? They're lovely people. Apparently.
Why take them when that's their land?
So the Palestinians are just supposed to leave?
Tell the Europeans to leave what is now known as Israel.
Tell them to go back to Ukraine, Poland, Germany, etc.
@complexblackness
You forgot the 800,000 jews who were forced to leave muslim countries in 1948. More jews became refugees than palestinians that year.
everywhere the Arab Plaestinas went they caused problems Jordan and Egypt were very effected in a negative way by these Islamic Extreemist ! who would want to have that in there country ? No one...
@@complexblackness Whoever you are, apparently you have NEVER visited Israel. The majority of Israelis are non-white, non-Europeans. They were forced to flee from nations like Yemen, egypt, Algeria, Iran and Eithiopa due to persecutions BECAUSE they are Jews. The people you refer to as 'palestinian' are in fact Arabs. Arabs are from Arabia; Jews are from Judea (falsely called "W bank" by the anti-Jewish MSM media). Learn some facts:
Never been an independent Arab state of 'palestine'
Never been a king of a 'palestine'
Never been a language of 'palestinian'
Israel is the only independent nation ever to exist between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea in the last 3400 years.
Respect for the great nation of Israel
My grand father was on the USS liberty....look that up and ask me again
Jewish nation continues to live on. Am Israel chai!
They are truly worthy of humanity's respect
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was at the end of my freshman year at a Catholic high school. I remember so well that each day it seemed the Israelis made another leap forward. The Arab nations were totally humiliated. They were fighting with nothing but hatred and the desire to destroy all Israel. The Israelis were fighting for their lives and those of every man, woman, and child in their tiny country.
Tremendous stuff excellent documentary 👍
It's anti Israel.
a country that is quite literally fighting for its very survival. These Israelis don’t wanna fight. But they have no choice
Poor King Hussein.Played like a fiddle..
I mean he could always just not attack Israel at the end of the day he made the mistake
Rather, like a fool!
A fool allows themselfs to be manipulated by others
he played himself, so the King of Fools.
king hussein stood with israel, he knew we will do anything for Israel to win the war. I do not think you know much about king hussein. Israel never been our enemy, syria is.
I'm so glad they opened up with the root cause being Syria’s actions and included Egypt’s aggression and warmongering. Jordan did not want to be involved. Modern interpretations tend to gloss over these facts.
@@DonaldFoss The aim of the canal was to cut of water from Israel. The fact that the UN deserted the Sinai allowed the Egyptians to take the Tiran straight.
That was a cassus belli for Israel.
Guy laron in his authoritative book on the six day war alludes to Syria's central role
2:15 mark- "for 20 years israel had been on a war footing with it's neighbors."
@@Jesse-mt2ripeople always wonder why Israel and the UN hate each other there’s been a long history between them
Costs were high but losing meant inhalation. Good motivator
Annihilation, not inhalation. 😂

Awesome job sharing/explaining the truth. Keep up the good work!
If only people would try NOT attacking Israel for a change...
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you for this informative n very interesting narrative.
There is no such thing as the western bank only Judea and Samaria
Exactly 💯
CORRECT AND ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ✅ AS WELL 👊
If God is for me who can stand against me .
In 1967, my aunt Sybil said that the Arabs would lose because God was on Israel's side as I recall. My family is not Jewish.
Even after so much time, still today Arab armies haven't regained the respect of the world. The closest they came was in the early stages of the Yom Kippur War in 1973, but even that turned into a complete disaster for them.
They attack 🇮🇱 again and again loosing their territory each time they attack
Can't beat the Redshields 😉
And now they call israel a colonizer……seriously! And our stupid illiterate youth, that don’t know nor don’t want to know anything about history, go to the streets to ask to free a people who never existed, a land that never belonged to them and praise a terrorist organization….
Awesome channel! Thanks
Thanks to every person under 35 that’s watching this. You cannot understand what’s going on in Gaza without understanding this. Sadly for many years the Israelis had quite liberal progressive governments that tried repeatedly to make lasting peace with Palestinians. They were constantly disappointed… now Israel’s government is as hardline as the Hamas Terrorists…. And the only ones to suffer are the hostages and their families and the Palestinians on the street
Greatest example of never under estimate someone
A 6 day war is a punch up in a Glasgow pub.
It seems Nasser wrongly believed having great popularity in Egypt was enough to win a military confrontation.
arabs couldnt organize a desk let alone an army
That's not very nice😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you. I liked the animated images forces and movement the best.
thank you so much for your hared work truth reporting, and kindness
This has to be the first time in history where the losers are constantly demanding more land.
This proves that they are Egyptian Palestinians.
They are also historically aggressive towards Israel.
Arabs and nothing more or less...
Yup. The west bankers are egyptian palestinian while the gazans are iranian palsetinians. There are no palestinian.
No such thing just Arabs ! in fact thats what they called themselfs before Yassir Arafat reclaimed the name that the Jews stopped using after reforming Isreal.
Arafat passport says Egyptian. The most famous so called Palestinian Enough said. How this basic fact is hidden to the world is truly shocking.
Is this not a war crime...many Muslim nations attacking single country at once
Arabs muslims went all the way up to france border at one point. Reconquista very underrrated battle in history
No. Different countries gang up on others. So what? Just like a pack of dogs , it's very human .
.
@darrelneidiffer6777 its why Israel declared its independence. They were attacked from all sides by arabs
@@darrelneidiffer6777Usually they’re charged with war crimes after being defeated though. “Waging aggressive war” was the main charge against the Nazis but Arabs seem to get away with that kind of thing.
I don't think that's what war crime means. Maybe unfair from some angles, but not a war crime. Bombing civilians and starving people are war crimes.
Biggest ass kickin' since Pharoah got dunked in the Red Sea!
Jordan was originally going to be called the Palestinian state if Palestine but the Saudi government would not allow it hence it's current name. It was in made up of 65 percent Palestinians. In 1952 Jordan eliminated it's lower parliament that was a majority of Palestinians and Kuwait expelled 400,000 Palestinians at one time. Palestinians had to pay a head tax if they lived in an Arab country. In 1949 Jerusalem was divided into three sections Jewish,Arab, and international however Jordan seized the international sector and annexed it without a peep from the U.N. or anyone else yet these things are never mentioned so there is ALWAYS more to be discussed
There is no West Bank. It is called Judeah and Samaria.
And it is Jewish land. The fact Israel allows Arabs to reside there is evidence of their willingness to have peace with the Arabs.
I learned a lot from this.
Arabs never learn. And never will.
Why arabs, same semitic as jews, never learn?
IG Farben did and will. What else?
Exactly
It was never Palestine no one wonted that land until Israel state was reinstated in their home land.
💯. It was swamp land and Arabs didn’t want to be called “Palestinian “.
So bascially Nasser made a huge mistake by moving from a defensive to an offensive war and the IDF took advantage of this. The penetration of the Egyptian forward defences by Brigadier Ariel Sharon was a masterstroke.
As for the attack on the Golan Heights against entrenched Syrian forces' positions, this proves the superiority of the Israeli fighting solider over the Arab one. Absolutely incredible how they managed to take these positions.
But there was a cost and it was very high considering how small a population Isreal had ! each man lost was a horible loss on all levels...
Don't mess with the Children of Israel, period.
I see a lot of documentaries about the 6 day war. Because admit it pr not, it is an interesting country. How Israel as such a tiny nation but I say really is something to not be messed up with and it is really making me proud of this tiny nation.
6 days shall thou make war - the seventh day you rest your labour.
Very daring but necessary to take bold chances.
Arabs ,Israel is your forefather, remember this😂😂
this proves that the State of Israel is here to stay.
Let me help you with your job,” 40 Israeli combat jets took off from their Negev Desert base as they did each morning. And, as it did each morning, the Israeli formation swept to the west, out across the neutral Mediterranean Sea. To the southwest, Egyptian radar operators noted the regular morning flight and thought nothing of it

How could they still have faith in their God after this?
Thank you❤❤❤
Now 66, I was 9 years old and downright scared by that war. My father had been approved for transfer from his station at the US Naval Academy to US Naval base in Gaeta. Didn't mean he'd accepted it. Giving up the Naval Academy stretch of 20 years would have been of little positive value. He chose to leave well-enough alone. I recall some rumblings about the possibility of nuclear war being triggered by that conflict. It was bad timing because I'd discovered the 50-yr old landfill my great grandfather had started around 1910. I found MANY Civil Defense books and manuals....... some of which someone of my impressionable age would find exceedingly horrifying. I spent countless episodes of fearing the contrails high above.
Palestinians are Arab. God bless Israel and the IDF
Just WOW!

Wrong. This was Israel's land for thousands of years. They were displaced. The U.N. simply said they could have some of it back (big of them). Palestine was created by the Roman Empire illegally.
Absolutely true!

Total defeat and embarrassment brought on by traitor Nasser.
Excellent documentary - thanks!
FWIW Aryck (or Aryeh) Nusbasher (the doc writter, and one the narrators) is now Dr Lynette Nusbasher
We see her (more recently) on the TV show Abandonned Engineering.
Average Egyptian soldier abandoned 2 pairs of boots in the Sinai. First pair in 1967, second pair in 1973.
We have learned to become a nation, a nationality and a people.
This war, the Yom Kippur war, modern Gaza - it really just shows how bad Israel is at losing fights.
if we had lost the YK war, there would not be a state to be invaded by Hamas. So yes, caught by surprise, but still standing. Sorry not sorry.
It's not too smart to mess with God's chosen people. You might beat human beings, but you're screwed if you take on God ! 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️ 🫡 🇮🇱 🇺🇸

Nice to hear the truth for a change, this documentary couldn't be made now. Just too many adverts which I ignored.

Love Israel ❤
conventionally, i personally don't think Israel can be defeated. using asymmetric warfare, that's a different story
Within the first two minutes, i am nauseated with the antisemitism and anti Israel hatred.
As an Israeli, I can say that back then, the Israeli citizens and soldiers were indeed very driven to defend Israel. There are many reason for this, one of the biggest one is that they fought for survival, with fresh WW2 memories in their minds, most of them had nowhere to retreat, and no where to run. Things changed a lot since then, sure we still do have a very powerful modern military force, but the mind set have changed a lot. We can clearly see it with the recent events, while many Israelis return to Israel in order to help and fight, there are actually more Israelis leaving the country. The quality of the regular soldiers dropped by a lot, while the elite divisions are growing stronger. The main problem Israel is currently have with its military, is racism. There is a clear discrimination of Russians, Israeli Arabs, Ethiopians, and other minorities. The elite divisions have a very tiny percentage of these minorities within them, as most are recruited to logistics such as truck drivers and other low quality tasks that the native Israelis refuse to do. And the minorities know it, its just something that everybody knows but nobody talks about. The result is that many young men and women choose to leave Israel before, during, or soon after the military service. Those that stay, usually do so because they have nowhere to go. Most of my friends that served in IDF, are currently living abroad, with their wife and kids. I would of did the same thing, but I developed a severe PTSD when I was young and I am almost completely dependant on the state for survival.
Thanks for the insight. Is this perhaps because of mistrust towards the arab or russian israelis, that if they get assigned to more sensitive or higher positions they might betray the nation and side with the enemy?
Wow...Your revelation has me thinking deeply and wanting to do more research. I need to as I am just a simple African man.
I'm Israeli, and the above comment is a bunch of bull sh*t.

Ancient Israel is from the east bank of Jordan to the Mediterranean.
Genesis 15:18:
In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates
Josh 1:4
From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast

Regardless of where you stand or what your beliefs are regarding the Arab/Palestinian - Israeli conflict that seems to be never-ending, I hope the Arab nations in the region eventually come to terms with the fact that attacking Israel never ends well for them. I hope this fact leads to peace. Jordan, Saudi and Egypt have come to terms with this fact, which has resulted in lasting peace between Israel and those nations. I hope the remainder of the nations and regions surrounding Israel eventually reach the same conclusion and embrace peace (as well as the fact that Israel is not going anywhere). Since 1967, Israel has become exponentially more powerful. Hence, attacking Israel is not a fruitful endeavor. I recently saw a 60 Minutes segment about the recent “pager” explosions among Hezbollah militants that was masterminded by Mossad. In it, they show that prior to the pager thing, Mossad had set into motion something similar, but with walkie talkies. They explain that explosives were planted in walkie talkies used by Hezbollah, but Israel waited TEN YEARS before setting them off. Can you imagine having an intelligence system so confident that they can afford to wait TEN YEARS before launching a plan of attack?? This means Hezbollah militants were using walkie talkies that had an explosive device inside them for ten years without having a clue, and the Israelis waited patiently until the right time to set them off. That’s insane precision, patience and execution. The Arab nations have proven to be incapable of competing with such high level intelligence. Also, this plan was carried out and executed without US support/influence. Attacking Israel with the misplaced belief that you can succeed and come out on top has proven to be as foolish as convincing yourself that you can attack the US, Russia or China, and come out on top. Not gonna happen.
Ayrk Nuasbacker a historian is really a woman who transformed to look like a man. Look it up. No mention of Gods hand that won this war in only 6 days. Another miracle
I remember reading and watching newscasts about this as a preteen and realizing just how badass Israel is.

I once heard an Arab leader say they started the 1948 war because they lost the 1967 war. LOL the 1967 war had quite an impact
