You must have had a pretty good TV set, as Tel Aviv and Cairo are
about 300 miles apart.

Steven does say in his book that the Egyptians were broadcasting false
news for domestic consumption in the early days of the 1967 war.  Yet
he does also say that the foreign radio broadcasts from Cairo, giving
actual accounts of the battle, were purposely altered by the Israelis
to draw Jordan into the war.
