'67_07: A Plan Comes Together - MC 01 Middle East '67

Umm Katef, south east of Nitzana, June 5th 1967: By the evening of the first day, the Sharon Division had advanced inside the frontier, and set up six battalions of artillery, to reduce the fortified position known as Umm Katef. Sharon's cautious approach was one in which he carefully executed a five part plan. The final act was initiated by an evening attack by four teams of paratroopers lifted in by helicopter.
