israeli army: They mobilized reserves to face Egyptian troops arrayed at the border, according to Brandon Sun. They appointed the eyepatch-wearing military hero Moshe Dayan as minister of defence. For several weeks in 1967, the underdog Israelis genuinely feared that their young Jewish state would be wiped out, even with memories of the Nazi Holocaust in Europe still fresh. They barricaded the streets with sacks of sand. A pre-emptive airstrike on June 5 destroyed the Egyptian air force on the ground, and the Israeli army also pushed back Jordan and Syria. Then it was over in a shocking flash.
