Sneak attack and overwhelming blowback.
The Arabs; Egypt, Syria and Jordan launch a surprise attack against Isreal on its holiest day, Yom Kippur (the day of Atonement) intending to regain Palestinian territory and even annihilate Israel. The Isrealis respond swiftly, methodically and brutally. Interesting historical documentary.
Yom Kippur War - A very good short on the last major Israeli war
After watching New Dimensions other shorts on the major Israeli wars with their Arab neighbors, this is a must see too. This documentary covers the 1973 war with Egypt and Syria as major belligerents against Israel and although Egypt had surprised the Israeli Armed Forces during what was supposed to be ceasefire period and made considerable advances into the East Bank of the Suez Canal in the Sinai Desert, the Israelis again displayed their awesome war-fighting capabilities with superb leadership and training against greatly outnumbered war machines and troops and that the Arab nations in the Middle East are essentially poorly trained, poorly led and even with good Soviet made equipment just cannot stand up to any well trained and well led force.
Israel probably still maintains a moments notice capability to beat their Arab neighbors back. Please see the other New Dimensions short on these Arab-Israeli wars: "The Six Day War"
