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.
Operation Hiram Operation Hiram was a military operation conducted by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. It was led by General Moshe Carmel, and aimed at capturing the Upper Galilee region from the Arab Liberation Army (ALA) forces led by Fawzi al-Qawuqji and a Syrian battalion. The operation, which lasted just 60 hours (October 29–31), was marked by heavy fighting between Arabs and Jews, and ended just before the ceasefire with the neighboring Arab countries went into effect. As a result of the operation, the Upper Galilee, originally slated by the United Nations partition plan to be part of an Arab state, would be controlled by the newly formed state of Israel, and that more than 50,000 new Palestinian refugees would leave for Lebanon.
