The Six-Day War of 1967 and the Yom Kippur War of 1973 are two of the most important
military altercations of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Both wars were started by surprise attacks by
either side. In 1967 Israel surprised the arab nations and in 1973 the arab nations surprised

This essay is going to, both, analyse the deception and surprise performed in the wars
separately and then make a comparison between the two. Sun Tzu’s, Carl von Clausewitz’s
and Roberta Wohlstetter’s theories about deception and surprise are going to be used as the
theoretical framework for the analysis.
Before the analysis there is going to be multiple segments providing both empirical
background and a description of the theoretical framework. Comparative analysis will be
used to perform the analysis.
The purpose of the essay is to answer two questions:
● In what way was surprise and deception used during the Six-Day War and the Yom
Kippur War?
● What similarities and differences can be found in the implementation of surprise and
deception during the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War? (Less)
