It depends entirely on the "they".

If "they" refers to the Arabs, they were trying to wipe Israel off of the map.

If "they" refers to the Israelis, they were trying to effectively defend their country.

Neither the Arabs nor Israel foresaw that the war would be such an incredibly lopsided conflict and that Israel would be so victorious.
