Operation Focus was the opening airstrike by Israel at the start of the Six-Day War in 1967, launched by the Israeli Air Force (IAF) on June 5, 1967. The operation destroyed the majority of the Egyptian Air Force on the ground, as well as air bases in Syria and Jordan, with a total of 452 enemy aircraft destroyed. The IAF's success was achieved by concentrating on the initial destruction of runways using a new kind of rocket-assisted anti-runway warhead, which disabled 18 airfields in Egypt and hindered Egyptian air operations for the duration of the war.learn more on wikipedia
