I'm no historian, but I seem to remember that the surrounding arab 
countries had wipped themselves into a frenzy about how they were going
to destroy Isreal right before the 67' war. This is a fact.
Also there were reports of arab units crossing the Isreali border
on the day of the attack. I know that a Jordanian unit did cross
into Isreali Jeruselum, against orders. As for any other unit, even
I have to doubt it.

And Panama.
