Has Israel lost any war

Answer 1

Israel has won every war, wars of 1948, 1956, 1967, 1973, 1978, 1982, 2006 and 2008.

Claiming 2006 as a victory is very true since hezbollah had many injured, its true that Lebanon was hurt badly too....ibut after the war nasharalah was terried to walk in the open. nasharallah admitted that if he knew how israel would of beat him he never would of started that war. also side note since 2006 hezbollah has not bombed israel or tried anything stupid. So if israel lost the war like some people claim then this is a good loss because hezbollah is leaving israel alone.PSST...... since hezbollah cried for the 1701 i don't think they deserve to ''be called'' the winners

May i ask you why you didnt mention about 1968 war ?maybe because it was the first war in which Israel beat the Soviet Union and Arabs combineshas lost? Stop trying to change the history that's the hardest thing you can ever do :)

Answer 2

YES : It is not that simple. : The first, the war of independence, which began on Nov. 30, 1947 and lasted until January 1949. What happened in that war, which Israel went off to fight with no alternative? Six thousand of our fighters were killed. They were then 650,000 Jews in Eretz Israel, and the number fallen amounted to about 1 percent of the Jewish population. : The second war of no alternative was the Yom Kippur War and the war of attrition that preceded it. Their total casualties in that war of no alternative were 2,297 killed, 6,067 wounded. Together with the war of attrition-which was also a war of no alternative-2,659 killed, 7,251 wounded. The terrible total: almost 10,000 casualties. : Their other wars were not without an alternative. In November 1956 Israel had a choice. The reason for going to war then was the need to destroy the fedayeen, who did not represent a danger to the existence of the state. Thus Israel went off to the Sinai campaign. At that time they conquered most of the Sinai Peninsula and reached Sharm el Sheikh. Actually, they accepted and submitted to an American dictate, mainly regarding the Gaza Strip (which Ben-Gurion called 'the liberated portion of the homeland'). John Foster Dulles, the then-secretary of state, promised Ben-Gurion that an Egyptian army would not return to Gaza. The Egyptian army did enter Gaza .... After 1957, Israel had to wait 10 full years for its flag to fly again over that liberated portion of the homeland. : In June 1967, israel again had a choice. The Egyptian army concentrations in the Sinai approaches do not prove that Nasser was really about to attack them. Israelis must be honest with themselves. They decided to attack him. This was a war of self-defense in the noblest sense of the term. The Government of National Unity then established decided unanimously:to take the initiative and attack the enemy, drive him back, and thus assure the security of Israel and the future of the nation. : As for the Operation Peace for Galilee [the invasion of Lebanon], it does not really belong to the category of wars of no alternative. Israel could have gone on seeing their civilians injured in Metulla or Qiryat Shimona or Nahariya. They could have gone on countering those killed by explosive charges left in a Jerusalem supermarket, or a Petah Tikvah bus stop. All the orders to carry out these acts of murder and sabotage came from Beirut .... True, such actions were not a threat to the existence of the state. But they did threaten the lives of civilians. whose numbers cannot be estimated, day after day, week after week, month after month.... : That was in the past. I deliberately chosen the period of then , not today, as my point is : there are degrees of everything. We are not dealing with absolute certainties in real life.
