This article is very pro-Israeli. It needs neutralisation.
Parhaps this article should be moved to "Military History of Israel" to conform with the other "military history of" articles? For example, the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_by_country could reasonably offer a link to this article, instead of having "Military History of Israel" in red type.

I'm not 100% familiar with the particulars of the history of the Six Day War, but the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs of this subsection contain an apparent contradiction. The article describes a pre-emptive Israeli strike on the air forces of Egypt, Syria and Jordan, while it states in the next breath that Egypt lied in order to coax Syria and Jordan into the war. That doesn't quite make sense as stated. Also, lied is an awfully stong word in this case, fog of war being what it is and all. I just checked the main Six Day War article and it doesn't quite corroborate this account. (I'm deferring editing myself because of my lack of specific knowledge.)

Image:MosheDayan small.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

What provision does the IDF make for conscientious objectors? Padres Hana ( talk) 21:31, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
"Following the declaration of independence in 1948, Arab armies invaded Israel. Egypt came from the south, Lebanon and Syria from the north, and Jordan from the east backed by Iraqi and Saudi troops." This statement seems to identify "Israel" as being the entire area of Mandate Palestine. True the international borders of the state of Israel have never been defined, but it seems a little inaccurate to describe the 'Arab armies' invading Israel when most of them entered areas only conquered by Israel in 1967.
