In June 1967, during the Six-Day War, the Israeli Air Force executed Operation Focus, a preemptive strike aimed at crippling the air capabilities of neighboring Arab countries. On the morning of June 5, Israeli jets launched a coordinated attack on Egyptian, Jordanian, and Syrian airbases, destroying hundreds of enemy aircraft before they could take off. This strategic move ensured Israeli air superiority and significantly contributed to their rapid military success in the conflict, allowing them to dominate the skies and pave the way for ground operations.
