In May of 1967, Egyptian President Nasser demanded that the United Nations remove their observers from the Sinai, and UN Secretary General U Thant agreed. Egyptian forces moved into the region shortly after UN forces were removed. Israel responded by bombing Egyptian airfields on June 5th and launching the opening round of the Six-Day War by attacking the Egyptian defenses at Abu Agheila. Israel had learned well from their set backs at Abu Agheila in 1957. By the time things were over, Israel had written a new chapter on armored maneuver combat.*
