The Six-Day War of June 1967 was a cataclysm for the Arabs; Israel emerged victorious and in possession of occupied territory in Saini- the West Bank- and the Golan Heights. The Arabs were furious at this outcome and determined to regain their lands and dignity by again making war with Israel. Added to the mix was a resurgent Palestinian liberation movement.�Renewed fighting began within weeks. It became a period of sustained combat- casualties- fiscal outlay- and diplomacy on the world stage unlike anything experienced previously. All involved militaries remained very active over the years following 1967 with more consistent mobilization- intensive training- and action than ever before and each side deepened their dependence on superpower arms supply. Adversary forces grew in size- adopted more complex weapons- and trained in new tactics- all in the tumult of combat of escalating intensity. The danger of this sparking another general war with potential superpower involvement was high.
