The 69 Squadron of the Israeli Air Force saw extensive action in which war between the Arab and Israeli fighters in 1973?
Yom Kippur War The Yom Kippur War, Ramadan War, or October War (Hebrew: מלחמת יום הכיפורים‎ ‎ , "Milẖemet Yom HaKipurim ", or מלחמת יום כיפור", Milẖemet Yom Kipur "; Arabic: حرب أكتوبر‎ ‎ , "Ḥarb ʾUktōbar ", or حرب تشرين , "Ḥarb Tišrīn "), also known as the 1973 Arab–Israeli War, was a war fought by a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria against Israel from October 6 to 25, 1973. The fighting mostly took place in the Sinai and the Golan Heights, territories that had been occupied by Israel since the Six-Day War of 1967. Egyptian President Anwar Sadat wanted also to reopen the Suez Canal. Neither specifically planned to destroy Israel, although the Israeli leaders could not be sure of that.
USS Liberty incident The USS "Liberty" incident was an attack on a United States Navy technical research ship, USS "Liberty" , by Israeli Air Force jet fighter aircraft and Israeli Navy motor torpedo boats, on 8 June 1967, during the Six-Day War. The combined air and sea attack killed 34 crew members (naval officers, seamen, two marines, and one civilian), wounded 171 crew members, and severely damaged the ship. At the time, the ship was in international waters north of the Sinai Peninsula, about 25.5 nmi northwest from the Egyptian city of Arish.
