#5 Russias_Proxy_War_Against_Israel

Long before 1967, Russia had planned to make Israel the site of an initial conflict with the West. Drawing from the Mitrokhin archive, it is clear that the Soviet Union had, in 1964-66, stashed war materiel in Israel.
May 13, 1967: The KGB, having planted agents among the Egyptian President's closest advisers, warns Egypt to expect "an Israeli invasion of Syria immediately after Independence Day, with the aim of overthrowing the Damascus regime." No invasion took place. Simultaneously, Russia supported terrorist organizations in the area, as witnessed by Abba Eban.
The Six-Day War in 1967: Russia officially cuts ties with Israel. According to the testimony of former Soviet personnel, there had been a plan to strike Israel and the Dimona reactor a year in advance. Fearing a nuclear Israel, the Soviet Union flew reconnaissance flights over Dimona, correctly predicting this would provoke Israel to strike first.
Following cues from the Soviet Union, Egypt's second in command insisted on Egypt's military destruction of the Dimona facility but never had the opportunity due to Israel quickly routing Egyptian forces.
The US Embassy in Cairo, along with Israeli Intelligence, believed that Egypt and Syria had the full backing of the USSR. A KGB officer and second secretary of the Soviet Embassy left Deputy Undersecretary of State Raymond L. Garthoff with the impression that US involvement in the Six Day War would draw the Soviet Union into the conflict. Egypt Embassy's political counselor warned that, “[The] Soviet objective is to transform Arab-Israeli struggle into showdown between Communists and anti-Communists for control of Middle East, and Soviets are succeeding.”
The Soviet premier himself would warn in a cable to the President, “A very crucial moment has now arrived which forces us, if military actions are not stopped in the next few hours, to adopt an independent decision. We are ready to do this. However, these actions may bring us into a clash which will lead to a grave catastrophe….We propose that you demand from Israel that it unconditionally cease military action.…We purpose to warn Israel that if this is not fulfilled, necessary actions will be taken, including military.”
On June 5, orders came for a detachment of Soviet volunteers for a landing, later aborted, on the Israeli coast. At the same time, the bomber and fighter/reconnaissance units, including MiG-21s, were put on full combat alert.
The Commander of the Soviet Navy had given standing orders that, “If the Israelis try to blockade the Egyptian or Syrian coast, or to hamper the activity of Soviet vessels bringing arms and materiel to these countries, steps should be taken and arms used if necessary.” There are also unconfirmed reports of minor skirmishes between Soviet and Israeli ships, that fortunately ended without escalation.
As a result of the conflict, Israel lost 779 soldiers. Egypt lost 80% of its military equipment, new and Russian built, 11,500 soldiers and officers killed, 5,000 soldiers and 500 officers captured, and 20,000 troops wounded. Jordan suffered 23,000 killed and wounded. Syria suffered 7,500 dead and wounded. The Syrians lost half of their tanks and almost all the artillery they had positioned on the Golan Heights.
At the end of the Six Day War, the USSR threatened a naval landing on Israeli shores, complete with air support. Evidence from intelligence agencies indicates the threat was not empty.
Paradoxically, the military failure of the Soviet Union's allies served to strengthen the USSR's position, as those states were now dependent on the Soviet Union for military and diplomatic support.
July 1967: Moscow launched a propaganda campaign against Zionism as a "world threat" and "all-powerful international force.”

February 4, 1969: Yasser Arafat is made Chairman of the PLO, which subsequently establishes a firm relationship with Russia. As Russia's support of Egypt waned, the PLO saw more support in the form of arms and training from the KGB.
