ISRAEL. After 6 Day War.
June 8th, 1967. Some of the fiercest fighting in Sinai occurred at the MITLA PASS, directly east of Suez. Involving hundreds of tanks, the battle lasted an entire night and resulted in the almost complete destruction of the Egyptian equipment along the 16 mile long Pass. Most of the hardware was demolished by Israeli jet fighter bombers. A total of 536 Egyptian tanks were destroyed by the mighty Mystere and Mirage French built planes.
