In the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel pitted its roughly 800 tanks against the nearly 2500 tanks of the surrounding Arab nations. While both sides fielded modern designs like the British Centurion, the American M48 Patton, and the Soviet T-55, these were expensive.
The Israelis clearly had the advantage as they didn't have to move their tanks the others had to go into logistic nightmares to place their tanks where they mattered, better said the response you give above is clearly fake news.
"Oren has acknowledged that both US and Israeli intelligence indicated that troop movements in Egypt, taken by themselves, had only defensive, not offensive, purposes."
The truth is captain that Israel is an invading force it has taken land that isn't theirs and then pretends they are the victims, you must understand that Israel as a political entity does not represent the views of all Jewish people, it is as any other country the results of the greed avarice and rottenness of a political class, better said they are no better than anyone else and should not be given special treatments when they are involved in the murders of many innocent people which IS a proven fact, read carefully I am not saying Jews I am talking about Israel as a political entity.
I think that it is abit humorous that you quoted a forward that was written for a video game (https://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=4324)
Although I was unable to find the specific example that I was thinking of, I did find a website that arrears to give a reasonably honest account of what was going on in the middle east in 1967 (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-39960461)

Actually I quoted an article on Wikipedia, I have absolutely no knowledge about Flames of War and hadn't even heard about it before you pointed this out. But even the BBC article agrees with the number of tanks. I have had this debate with my brother a number of times and he says Israel has to attack first because they are the victims, this does sound kind of funny to me. But the BBC article has this:
"They had trained for it for years and the first wave of attacks was about to go in." This is about the Israeli plan to destroy the Egyptian air force nothing hasty about it, it was a well planned attack, not a spur of the moment action.

I am not saying that Israel had no training (it would be ignorant of them to not plan on people trying to destroy them) I am just pointing out that the 14 year old military that Israel had was out trained, maned and gunned. In the natural realm Israel should have bee destroyed...it does not make sense to try to take away land from the small country and give it back to the larger aggressor country.
