It seems like I recall Egypt and Syria invading in 1973, right?
- elashri 3y agoInvading is very interesting description of what happened in 1973 considering that Egypt attacked Isreal in Sinai to liberate Egyptian lands. While Syria attacked Golan Heights which is Syrian land. The attack weren't even in Palestinian territory. How much land do you consider Isreali? Everything except Alaska??
- morninglight 3y agoThis article addresses the question of land very clearly: https://robertjprince.net/ https://robertjprince.net/ ....
- panarky 3y ago>> There was no expectation for there to be a ground assault from Gaza Many homes were equipped with safe rooms -- concrete and steel reinforced boxes inside the house where people could retreat, lock the door, and be safe from attackers. Yes, safe rooms might also protect against rockets, but underground shelters are more resilient. If you build a safe room into every house, people must have envisioned the possibility of armed attackers.
- orwin 3y agoInvading is quite strong. Egypt dumbly tried force to get back its De Jure territory. I'm pretty sure at the time Egypt could have just put enormous diplomatic pressure and that would have been enough.
