Teribus:

I liked your post but I would suggest you should have put the line:
"Israel started it, because there was no other option open..."
as:
"Israel "started it", because there was no other option open..."

Egypt closed the Strait of Tiran to Israeli Shipping. Egypt demanded that the UN peacekeeping forces leave the Sinai, which the UN complied with under U Thant. Nasser was recorded in conversation with King Hussein of Jordan regarding military cooperation.

There is a distinction between a state of war, an act of war, and a pre-emptive strike.

The mideast nations had been in a state of war since Israel's founding in the battles of 1948. Closing the Strait of Tiran, as Egypt did, was an act of war.

The fact that Israeli jets found Egyptian jets on the ground is a tribute to the hubris of the Arab forces and the unwillingness of the Israelis to submit to their enemies' playbook.

Israel is a small country surrounded by (at that time) enemy states with no fixed state of peace since 1948. It would be folly for Israel to wait for her territorial integrity to be invaded any further than it already had been. Indeed, in 1973 when Arab forces penetrated Israeli lines and attacked on Yom Kippur, Israel came close to losing.
