With Israeli forcxes caught unprepared  the Egyptian crossing of the Suez Canal  and the Syrian attack on the Golan Heights were both initially successful. The following month saw desperate fighting as the Israeli forces slowly drove the invading armies back. It took two UN ceasefires  and the threat of Soviet intervention before the Israeli forces came to a halt.
