Two Chieftains Mark 2 arrived in Israel for trials with the IDF in early 1967, but within months the region was plunged into conflict with the outbreak of the Six Day War in June.

The Israelis sent a laconic reply, "Have no fears, we have moved the borders".
As so eloquently expressed by Iddo Netanyahu, the brother of Yoni: ‘The raid on Entebbe touched the souls of men and women across the globe in the most fundamental way possible. For it proved that at least once, even against inconceivable odds, justice could be done and right could win.’

Both Belgium and Holland realized that they lay in the path of a German invasion of France, but deceived themselves into believing that a policy of strict neutrality would forestall the inevitable.
The latter called to Muki Betser to ask how Yoni Netanyahu had been killed. His reply was succinct: ‘He went first. He fell first.’
