Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Arab-Israeli War of 1967 is often called the "Six Days' War". When was it fought?

Answer: 5-10 June 1967

Earlier in 1967 there had been conflict on the Golan Heights, near the border between Israel and Syria. The immediate "trigger" for the war is widely agreed to have been Egypt's blockade of the Gulf of Aqaba (starting on 22 May 1967), which had the effect of cutting off access to and from the southern Israeli port of Eilat.
2. Who was the Defense Minister of Israel during the 1967 War?

Answer: Moshe Dayan

Moshe Dayan (1915-1981) was an outstanding Minister of Defence. He was appointed in 1967 and held his post until 1974. He was, however, blamed for Israel's lack of preparedness at the outbreak of the 1973 October War.
3. What was the name of the first operation aimed to shatter Arab air power?

Answer: Operation Moked

This Operation eliminated almost 700 aircraft in a single day by an Israeli air force numberng 224.
4. Which General was in command of the air operations?

Answer: General Mordechai Hod

General Sharon was responsible for the war in the Sinai as was also General Yoffe. General Mofaz was a Director of Military intelligence and was responsible for spy network management before the 1967 war.
5. Which General was allocated command of war along the Northern front and the Rafah-El Arish front?

Answer: Israel Tal

6. When were the Egyptian forces defeated in the 1967 war?

Answer: 8th June

7. Which General was in command of the Jordanian Front?

8. Who commanded the 'Jerusalem Brigade' - a force of 28 officers?

Answer: Colonel Eliezer Amitai

Amitai was in charge of this unit, which captured the Government House in Jordan.
9. Israel was condemned worldwide for the 1967 War. Which politician in the USA however, made no secret his admiration for Israel and pledged to make efforts for better military relations?

Answer: Spiro Agnew

While Kennedy was sympathetic to the Israelis he condemned the 1967 war as a deliberate effort to avoid diplomacy. Kissinger was neutral in his attitude to the war, and though he condemned Nasser's Soviet Dealings he never admired Israel. Edward Kennedy's political career had hardly begun then

Spiro Agnew-who would become vice president later-openly said on the post that he admired Israel's strategy and victory and that diplomacy was not on the cards here.
10. What was *not* a result of the 1967 war?

Answer: The rise of Al Fatah and Yasser Arafat

The rise Arafat was independent of the 1967 war. Initially, Nasser resigned after the war but returned to power almost immediately amid widespread popular demonstrations. He then remained in office till his death in 1970.
