Interestingly enough, I worked with a man who had lived through the six-day war: A lovely fellow from Egypt, he was fine until a tornado jet flew over where we were working. Within a blink of an eye he was under a desk, quaking with fear.
He also told me about the only ever Egyptian victory against Israel, where people in one city, pissed off at what Nasser did, blocked off all entrance to the city and wouldn't allow Israeli tanks in. The defence was a few soldiers, the Police and some civilians.
