Right...so when you say Israel had fought 5 major wars by 1967, you include one war from 1970, and some minor "reprisal raids"??
And the Suez Crisis...how does tht count as ISRAEL fighting a war?!
God damn you make me laugh with this stuff....you'll just post absolutely anything at all won't you?!
As I told you before, provide me with your journalist license so I can WIPE MY ASS WITH IT.

Operation Kadesh: The Israeli operation in the Sinai Peninsula
Operation Kadesh received its name from ancient Kadesh, located in the northern Sinai and mentioned several times in the Hebrew Pentateuch. Israeli military planning for this operation in the Sinai hinged on four main military objectives; Sharm el-Sheikh, Arish, Abu Uwayulah, and the Gaza Strip. The Egyptian blockade of the Tiran Straits was based at Sharm el-Sheikh and, by capturing the town, Israel would have access to the Red Sea for the first time since 1953, which would allow it to restore the trade benefits of secure passage to the Indian Ocean.
Early actions along the Gulf of Aqaba, and the central front
As the paratroopers were being dropped into the Sinai, the Israeli 9th Infantry Brigade captured Ras an-Naqb, an important staging ground for that brigade's later attack against Sharm el-Sheikh.[139] Instead of attacking the town by a frontal attack, they enveloped the town in a night attack, and negotiated their way through some of the natural chokepoints into the rear of the town, surprising the Egyptians before they could ready themselves to defend.[139] The Egyptians surrendered, with no Israeli casualties sustained.
The 4th Infantry Brigade, under the command of Colonel Josef Harpaz, captured al-Qusaymah, which would be used as a jumping off point for the assault against Abu Uwayulah.[139] Colonel Harpaz out-flanked al-Qusaymah with two pincers from the south-east and north-east in a night attack.[140] In a short battle lasting from 3:00 am to sunrise, the IDF stormed al-Qusaymah.[140] Battle of Jebel Heitan: The portion of the Paratroopers under Sharon's command continued to advance to meet with the 1st Brigade. En route, Sharon assaulted Themed in a dawn attack, and was able to storm the town with his armor through the Themed Gap.[141] Sharon routed the Sudanese police company, and captured the settlement.[141] On his way to the Nakla, Sharon's men came under attack from Egyptian MIG-15s.[141] On the 30th, Sharon linked up with Eytan near Nakla.[141]
