In 1967, as Israeli forces launched into the Six-Day War, no one could foresee the supernatural miracles and unexplained phenomena that would unfold. Initially, fear and dread loomed over the country, with Israelis anxious about their fate under the threat of the united Arab armies. Yet, in just six days, Israel defeated the armies of Egypt, Syria, and Jordan, gaining control over East Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, Sinai, and the West Bank. These astounding military achievements were nothing short of miraculous.

The Course of the War

1. Day One: Striking the Egyptian Air Force

On June 5, 1967, in the early morning, Israel's Operation Focus was launched by the Israeli Air Force. The operation involved striking roughly 450 Egyptian combat aircraft on the ground, destroying most of them. This gave Israel absolute air superiority throughout the war. The attack was carried out with complete surprise and precise planning.

 

2. The Jordanian Front: Capturing East Jerusalem

On the second day of the war, Jordan launched an offensive on West Jerusalem. The IDF swiftly responded with a counterattack and successfully captured East Jerusalem within days. This battle included the liberation of the Western Wall, which had been under Jordanian control since 1948.

 

3. The Syrian Front: Capturing the Golan Heights

On the fifth day of the war, the IDF launched an assault on the Golan Heights, then held by Syria. The battles were intense, but eventually, the Israeli forces succeeded in capturing the area and expanding the northern borders of Israel.

 

Supernatural Miracles and Testimonies

1. The Egyptian Air Force Strike

The successful strike by the Israeli Air Force on Egyptian bases is considered one of the war's supernatural miracles. In Operation Focus, Israeli planes managed to destroy approximately 300 Egyptian planes on the ground within a few hours, despite significant numerical disadvantage. One fascinating story tells of an Israeli pilot who, in a dangerous maneuver, successfully hit an Egyptian plane, a technically impossible feat.

 

2. The Miracle of Fear in Jerusalem

Another story involves Jordanian soldiers fleeing East Jerusalem before Israeli forces arrived. Reports indicate that Jordanian soldiers claimed to see giant Israeli troops, prompting a hasty retreat. This testimony suggests a supernatural force that incited fear and led to their evacuation.

 

3. Liberating the Western Wall

The liberation of the Western Wall is seen as a national miracle. After the Old City's liberation, Israeli soldiers reached the Wall and began praying. One poignant story involves a religious soldier dreaming of the Wall during the battles, waking with renewed hope and strength. Upon reaching the Wall, soldiers experienced overwhelming emotion, witnessing the fulfillment of an ancient dream.

 

4. Miracle in the Golan Heights

During the Golan Heights battles, Israeli soldiers reported a sensation of supernatural assistance. One story describes a small Israeli unit surrounded by larger Syrian forces, surviving through invisible support that safely guided them. These soldiers later spoke of feeling a higher presence protecting them.

 

5. The Battle of Umm Katef

The Battle of Umm Katef was among the toughest clashes of the Six-Day War. Israeli forces broke through Egyptian lines despite being outnumbered and facing technological superiority. During the battle, Israeli soldiers reported internal encouragement and supernatural guidance through their actions.

 

6. The Miracle of Aerial Refueling

Numerous dangerous aerial refueling operations were unimaginably successful during the campaign. One story highlights an Israeli squadron's precise aerial refueling, despite adverse conditions and high risks, enabling continued successful air operations.

 

7. Testimony of Divine Intervention

Many soldiers reported experiencing a divine presence during the battles. One account involves an Israeli officer wounded in battle, who survived thanks to an internal sense of encouragement throughout evacuation and treatment. His story reflects the belief in the miracles that occurred during the war.

During the battle for the Gaza Strip, Israeli forces triumphed over better-equipped Egyptian forces. Soldiers spoke of an inexplicable sense of confidence and encouragement, crucial to their success in battle.

9. Rescuing the Wounded under Fire

During the war, numerous operations to rescue the wounded under heavy fire occurred. One moving story involves a unit executing a precise and swift rescue of the wounded from the battlefield, guided by an incredible supernatural assistance in the safest path.

 

10. Victory on the Southern Front

On the southern front, Israeli forces confronted well-equipped and large Egyptian forces. During battles, soldiers reported an internal encouragement that led to a remarkable victory, despite numerically and qualitatively inferior conditions.

In conclusion, the Six-Day War is one of the most fascinating and significant wars in modern Israeli history. The IDF's astounding success, despite numerical and qualitative disadvantages, is attributed not only to precise military planning and execution but also to miracles and supernatural interventions.
