[PAR] [TLE] 69 Squadron (Israel) [SEP] The 69 "Hammers" Squadron is an Israeli Air Force squadron operating the F-15I Thunder out of Hatzerim.  It was formed in July 1948 to operate three B-17 Flying Fortresses which the fledgling Israeli Air Force had acquired in the United States.  The squadron flew the Flying Fortress, a type credited with propelling the IAF into the realm of modern aerial warfare, during both the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and 1956 Suez Crisis.  Disbanded in early 1957, 69 Squadron reformed in 1969 to fly the F-4 Phantom II.  69 Squadron operated the "Kurnass" (Sledgehammer), as the Phantom was known in Israel, for 25 years and its Phantoms saw extensive action during the War of Attrition, Yom Kippur War, First Lebanon War and numerous engagements in between.  The squadron often played a central role in IAF suppression of enemy air defences (SEAD) efforts and took part in repeated battles against Egyptian and Syrian air defence arrays. [PAR] [TLE] Yom Kippur War [SEP] The Yom Kippur War, Ramadan War, or October War (Hebrew: מלחמת יום הכיפורים‎ ‎ , "Milẖemet Yom HaKipurim ", or מלחמת יום כיפור", Milẖemet Yom Kipur "; Arabic: حرب أكتوبر‎ ‎ , "Ḥarb ʾUktōbar ", or حرب تشرين , "Ḥarb Tišrīn "), also known as the 1973 Arab–Israeli War, was a war fought by a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria against Israel from October 6 to 25, 1973.  The fighting mostly took place in the Sinai and the Golan Heights, territories that had been occupied by Israel since the Six-Day War of 1967.  Egyptian President Anwar Sadat wanted also to reopen the Suez Canal.  Neither specifically planned to destroy Israel, although the Israeli leaders could not be sure of that.
