Caught flat footed because they never had any plans to attack because Israel had more troops on that border and in the 67 pre-emptive strike...The history is clear that Israel attacked first and ZioNazis like you will never change that fact.

Six-Day War
This article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject. Please help improve the article with a good introductory style. (October 2014)
The Six-Day War (Hebrew: מלחמת ששת הימים, Milhemet Sheshet Ha Yamim; Arabic: النكسة, an-Naksah, "The Setback" or حرب ۱۹٦۷, Ḥarb 1967, "War of 1967"), also known as the June War, 1967 Arab–Israeli War, or Third Arab–Israeli War, was fought between June 5 and 10, 1967 by Israel and the neighboring states of Egypt (known at the time as the United Arab Republic), Jordan, and Syria.
Relations between Israel and its neighbours had never fully normalized following the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and in the period leading up to June 1967 tensions became dangerously heightened. As a result, following the mobilisation of Egyptian forces along the Israeli border in the Sinai Peninsula, Israel launched a series of preemptive airstrikes against Egyptian airfields on June 5. The Egyptians, whose defensive infrastructure was in a poor state, were caught by surprise and virtually the entire Egyptian air force was destroyed with few Israeli losses, giving the Israelis air superiority. Simultaneously, the Israelis launched a ground offensive into the Gaza strip and through the northern and central routes of the Sinai, which again caught the Egyptians by surprise. After some initial resistance, the Egyptian leader, Gamal Abdel Nasser, ordered the evacuation of the Sinai. On June 6 and 7, Israeli forces rushed westward in pursuit of the Egyptians whose retreat was disorganized and chaotic. The Israelis inflicted heavy losses on the retreating Egyptian forces. By June 7 the Israelis had reached the Suez Canal and had taken Sharm el Sheikh in the south of the peninsula. Conquest of the Sinai was completed on June 8 when Israeli forces reached the peninsula's western coast.
Not according to the evidence as this shows Egypt had amassed troops ready to invade Israel and called in Operation dawn. The Russians intervened and told Egypt that they could not condone the attacks or help with weapons/munitions without causing a major diplomatic issue. Israel got word of Operation dawn and promptly attacked Egypt. So the Egyptians were caught wrong footed and lost the war they started in the first place
All Israel will ever get from her conquest is death and dishonor...She has sealed her own fate nukes or no nukes she will succumb to a long war of attrition or to demographics like all previous invaders to this area...
