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.
Battle of Rafah (1949) The Battle of Rafah was a military engagement between the Israel Defense Forces and the Egyptian Army in the final stage of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. It was fought on January 3–8, 1949, just south of Rafah, today in the Gaza Strip. The battle was initiated by Israel as part of Operation Horev, on the backdrop of the Sinai battles just before. The Israelis were hoping to encircle all Egyptian forces in Palestine and drive them back to Egypt.
