This story (see plot summary) is pretty much a very well done, "standard" explanation by the Israelis, of their position. But, what sets this film apart is the 20 minute long, tank battle sequence, that shows the Israeli attack on Rafah at the beginning of the 6 Day War. In my estimation that is the best tank battle scene ever done for any movie. It was clearly filmed on an Israeli Army tank firing range as it has such details as: often the tanks shown firing are shooting live ammunition and not blanks (the visual difference is subtle, but those who have seen live fire will appreciate it) several dozen real tanks are really blown up, including one spectacular shot where the turret flies off of an exploding JS-3. (Remember, they had no CGI back then, either). So, this is definitely one for the war movie buffs (the battle rates a 10 +++), though it takes a while for the film to get there.
