148 ai r p o w e r in 20 t H Ce n t u ry do C t r i n e s a n d em p l o y m e n t - nat i o n a l ex p e r i e n C e s Israel continued to develop industry and agriculture while still absorbing immigration and settling the land, at the same time continuing to organize its armed forces and prepare them for the possibility of a further conflict, due to the continued threats of war from the Arab States, headed by Egypt, and the ongoing infiltration by terrorists across the border resulting in more death and destruction. One of the most important projects that Israel set itself was the development of the “National Water Carrier” to bring water from the Sea of Galilee in the north to the center and south thereby developing the country both agriculturally and industrially. Syria, near whose border Israel planned the building of the water carrier, started to sabotage the development work and to damage the heavy mechanical equipment. All the Arab countries supported Syria and threatened Israel with the backing of the USSR who armed and trained the armies of Egypt and Syria and supplied them with advanced modern weapons. There were multiple clashes between the IDF and the Syrian Army. In these clashes the Syrian air force suffered losses in dog-fights with the IAF. On 7th April 1967 a large battle occurred between the Israeli air forces and the Syrian air forces not far from the Sea of Galilee, in which the Syrian had lost 6 aircrafts MiG21, without any damage to the IAF. After the last battle on April 1967, the authorities in Damascus announced that Israel was amassing its army on the Syrian border in order to attack and overthrow the ruling Ba’athist Party. Following these untruthful statements, Egypt mobilized its army, called up reserves and again concentrated forces on the Israeli Border in Sinai; at the same time closing the international water way to Eilat; and demanded that U.N. forces be withdrawn from Sinai on the Israeli border. This was a complete breach of all the agreements reached after the 1956 campaign. In addition, military agreements were signed between Egypt, Syria and Jordan who placed its army under Egyptian command. Later, Iraq joined this agreement. Egypt stationed commando units in Jordan in order to be able to attack Israel at the narrow point leading to the center of the Country. Israel tried to defuse the situation by repeatedly denying any hostile intent against Syria, and tried to enlist the aid of the international community. Despite these efforts, the wave of nationalism of the Arab crowds in Cairo, Damascus, Amman, Bagdad, etc., and its demands for war, influenced the Arab leaders, especially Nasser, President of Egypt and the leader of the Arabs States. Due to this situation it became obvious to the Israelis that war was inevitable. During this period the Arab countries purchased modern tanks, artillery and modern fighter aircrafts such as the MiG21, MiG19, MiG17 and Sukhoi7; and bomber planes such TU16 and IL28, trained in its use with the help of Russian experts. Israel also purchased high-quality equipment, mainly from France, which included tanks and aircrafts, and more planes of the types already in its possession, together with new ones such as the Super Mystere4B, Vautour bombers, and above all, the fighter aircraft Mirage3 (1963).
