Did you know that there are only two countries in the world that were built upon religious ideology? Pakistan and Israel.
Israel created for Judaism and Pakistan for Islam. It is also said that the one country that Israel is most scared of is Pakistan as it is the only Muslim country with the military might and religious zeal that compares with Israel.
Although Pakistan has never had a direct major military conflict with the Israelis, Israel will always remember the support that Pakistani officers provided the Arabs in the two Arab-Israel wars.
The feats of our pilots and military in both these wars are unparalleled. Pakistan had a small but lethal contingent of about 16 pilots who served as volunteers in Jordan, Egypt, Syria and Iraq during the 1967 and 1973 wars.
In the 1967 Arab-Israel war, volunteer pilots from the Pakistani Air Force downed no less than 10 Israeli aircrafts without losing a single pilot or a single aircraft!!
One of the notable names in the 1967 war was Group Captain Saiful Azam. He holds the record of being the only fighter pilot in history to shoot down three confirmed kills of Israeli aircrafts in air-to-air combat and damaging one plane that crash landed.
In the 1973 war, our pilots were again at the forefront and inflicted yet more damage to the Israeli air force.
In 1973, Flt. Lt. A. Sattar Alvi became the first Pakistani pilot to shoot down an Israeli Mirage in air combat, he was flying a Syrian aircraft. Similarly PAF pilot Flt. Lt. M. Hatif, in an Egyptian MiG-21 shot down an Israeli F-4 phantom during air combat. As mentioned earlier, we did not lose a single pilot or an aircraft.
Although these names are seldom mentioned in Arab war history we know that:
- Flt. Lt. A. Sattar Alvi was awarded the Wisaam Faris and Wisaam Shuja’at in 1973, by Syrian president Hafez al-Assad
- Saiful Azam was honored with medals in Iraq and Jordan for his heroics
Today however, for some reason the tides have turned completely. No country, including Pakistan, is willing to support or fight side by side with the Palestinians and thus the poor people of Palestine have been left alone to fend off tons of Israeli bombs with a handful of homemade rockets.
It is my humble request to our leaders, that this is the time to unite against the aggressors and defend our Palestinian brothers, sisters and children. Pakistan has everything required to unite the Muslim ummah into one and defeat these merciless aggressors!

Good Article by Sameer and great views by Mr. Muhammad Riyaz. Times have changed, Pakistan must put its own house in order, two state solution is the only viable option in Palestenian conflict. Regarding Kashmir, Pakistan will never have any Arab Worlds support even if we hang upside down. It was a good judgment by present Pakistan Military leaders not to get involved in Yemen conflict despite all out pressure by Saudis n UAE. We have the most formidable military in all Muslim world but it’s wise to use it only for our own sake. Our only real time tested reliable n dependable friends are Turkey n China. Rest all are seasonal friends.
by the way both of wars were won by israel !!
Well. Actually the Egyptian and Syrian Politicians were bought and they surrendered. Pakistan could have annihilated Israel by itself. We are ready anytime. Allah is the might.
good evening..i am writing from london and i am a proud pakistani. i would like to say that the time of the final imam is near if pakistan wants to succeed as a muslim leader then we must remove the durand line and all artificial borders join hands with afghanistan iran and all central asian states to form a United Muslim Federation that is a democratic system like that of the usa were each state elects her own governor and the nation has one president and a council of religious leaders which includes the great ayatollah khameini and representatives of all sects of islam. we need a proper system of governance between all the muslims of central and south asia we should share our resources such as gas oil water coal arable land in order to have economic progress so we can free our selves from poverty and extremism. this is the dream of every muslim may allah fulfil our dreams ameen. UIF ZINDABAD…
Salam Adam,
I have some questions, why do you think borders should be removed ? Were not their countries or states like Syria, Egypt, Jerusalem, Makkah and Medinah at the time of Prophet(pbuh)?
Inspite of knowing the fact that their are more than millions of muslims living in countries eg. Indonesia, Malaysia, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Middle East and these are Muslim Countries, are you sure if borders are removed, than all these countries will live peacefully with each other?
You must know and understand that ,their is a hell of difference between the time of Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) and now, their are more than 40 Muslim Countries now, some Muslim Countries are in Far East which have orential culture(Like Chinese,Japanes, Taiwanis and etc).
Some Muslim Countries are in Africa, and others are in Asia and Middle East, they all have their own culture and civilizations. How can all these people live together if political division(boundaries) are removed?
Why are you talking about Palestine “brothers” alone? Muslims are getting butchered in Iraq too at the hands of ISIS, that too in thousands. OR do you care only about Sunnis? The real problem of Pakistan is Islam itself, the earlier we understand that the better. I live in Germany now and will never return to Pakistan until and unless Pakistan ditches its obsession with irrational religions and build a secular country.
it’s good for you to be in germany forever with these thoughts.
well we do not need people like you because in these crutial times we the faces of coward and heroes so my dear brother live your bloody life their … this nation do not need coward people
I will totally disagree writh you and it’s right to say that bats like you should stay in Germany and I wish that you may die in their
Just landed up on this site today and saw your comments and honestly , it is an eye opener for me . There must be so many Pakistani in Pakistan with the same thought process. Its time to live peacefully without disturbing others.
Its time to do something for muslims
Men and nations faild by the same power as those by which they rise.Today all the Muslims countries are facing some internal issues. Europe had already made a Map in which they diveded Iraq in three parts Sunni,Shia,and kurd.destruction of Libia.Syria. Palestinian. Iran.pakistan.is at the end coz they knew that Pakistan has nuclear weapon as will as Iran but game is not over specially in Pakistan
Our politicians are enough to help them
But These three F 16 are Pakistani but number forth ?Jis se ye picture li gei hai wo kis ka hai ?
Pakistan did not have the F16s in 1967, while this picture comes from Public Information offices you can be rest assured that all aircraft you see or do not see are of PAF
Our cousins the Arabs won’t help each other and it is a fact they have given money to Pakistan for their own agendas like giving arms & training to the Syrian rebels. The Arab armies are well armed with the most advanced weaponry but their armies are only for controlling their own peoples.
The current situation is that Pakistani governments have prostituted Pakistan to Arab money and American support. The recent actions in model town show that Pakistani agencies & authorities are no different to the actions of the Israelis in Gaza.
Now we have new defenders of Islam in the form IS who have shown what kind of blood thirsty animals they are to look forward to.
The bottom line is there is hope & we should stop living in fools paradise
Please note that IS is not a force of Islam or Muslims, the lead man the impostor of Muslims Abu Bakr Baghdadi is actually the son of Jewish parents while his real name is Elliot Shimon, he has been trained, equipped, funded and commissioned by the Mossad+CIA consortium to defame Islam & Muslims while recruiting young Muslims who cannot think and do not use their brains or are not blessed with one and who pick up and leave everything to become a “Jihadi” pursuing this fake jihad” which is no Jihad to begin with, thanks to idiots who jump to conclusions and jump into anything considering it Jihad
We should think before taking any military action.
Can anyone even allude to the thoughts that go in to process much before any military action?
I don’t believe Pak Armed Forces would jump in any conflict without giving serious thought.
pakistan is the strong fort of islam. pakistan is the blessing of ALLAH..after MAKKAH and MADINA , ALLAH and HIS prophet hazrat MUHAMMAD( S.A .W)liked the pakistan. .because hazrat MUHAMMAD (S.A.W) perdicted about the existance of pakistan 1400 year ago. .and pakistan came into existance 1947 and 27 RAMADAN the day of revealing of QURAN ..perhaps ALLAH made the pakistan to suppourt and help the muslims in the world..this is purpose of pakistan. ..no one can defeat pakistan . we are stongest in the world…pakistan zindabad
No one can defeate Pakistan with the willing of Allah subhana aw ta,ala. InshAllah
.. just say Naaray takbeer !!!! Allah o Akbar
Naaray risalat Ya Rasool Allah !!!
Sorry my friend but Pakistan has he nuke but it does not stop America bombing us. And to put in perspective how strong we are – just look at the recent history when rag tag Taliban tramps have mounted successful attacks on GHQ Mehran & Kamra etc
So it is simple as that? The Pakistani army in 1971 & in Kargil should have been told his!!!
By the way now I know why people in Pakistan recite these words when even their dogs win a dog fight. If you don’t believe me, go & see a dog fight
pakistan has helped the arabs many time. ..these are unforgetable servise from pakistan to arabs but arabs do not think good thing for pakistan …arabs are selfish but pakistan favours all muslim cuontries and help them when they entangle in problems
Fully agreed
Pakistan have its own issues to deal now .The ongoing operation Zarb-e-Azb is our main priority right now . Pakistan is not only country permitted to carry out strikes against Israel. What happened to Turkey or Saudi money scoundrels enjoying Arabic belly dances blah blah. Why the rest of so called Ummah is at sleep. The main reason of sectarian violence is Saudis . This is Ummah . A complete myth.I totally agree with Hassan Atir. But no one is willing to help us especially Arabs. But no one is going to give us air base for a possible confrontation with Israel. There is a need of surgical strikes to be carried on important strategic cities like Tel -Aviv .I think only after these kind unexpected reaction by Muslims will open the eyes of Israel to back off from its ongoing slaughter of innocent Palestinians.I hope Allah (SWT) guide us to a better tomorrow
When Pakistani Pilots Battled Israelis
Did you know that there are only two countries in the world that were built upon religious ideology? Pakistan and Israel.
Israel created for Judaism and Pakistan for Islam. It is also said that the one country that Israel is most scared of is Pakistan as it is the only Muslim country with the military might and religious zeal that compares with Israel.

So sorry to rain on your parade. The story of the valour of the Pakistani pilots against the Israelis in the ‘ 67
and ‘ 73 wars is just that, a story. It never happened. Do some research. The Israelis ended up totally victorious in both conflicts, although the ’73 war started rather badly for the Israelis. Their airforce is acknowledged to be one of the finest in the world.
pakistan has helped the muslims countries many time by sending pakistan army and pakistan air force……u will have to remember the event of 1967 when israel destroyed the air bases of three muslim countries then these muslim countries called the pakistan for help then pakistan army went there and destroyed many aircrafts (jet fighter) of israel and defeated them and broke the israel’s backbone. …..pakistan army returned successful ALHAMDU LILIAH …long live pakistan long live pakistan army,,,, pakistan army best in the world , there is no compareable to our pak army,,,, now pakistan is suffer in problems but pakistan army will go palestine to help our brother and sisters INSHA ALLAH
I read this article with interest.
Definitely I am proud of the pilots of PAF who always crossed the expectations of the nation, no doubt about it.
It also gives a feeling of great pride to find out the contribution of PAF in Arab Israel 1967 and 1973 wars.
However in current Hamas-Israel conflict there is no way that Pakistan can interfere, and the reasons are very obvious.
1. In 1967 – 1973 wars most of the Arabs were together against Israel, in current Israel – Hamas conflict even the next door neighbor Egypt, Jordan are against Hamas. The part of the Hamas blockade is Egypt itself.
2. Involving in the current war means a wider conflict, and it will be Hamas + Pakistan against Israel + India + America + NATO.
Hence It can not be an option.
3. Pakistan is itself involved in a war against Indian involvement in Wazeeristan and Baluchistan. Baluch Liberation Army has its office
in Israel, hence BLA has full support of Israel.
On the other hand see the behavior of our our Arabs and other Muslim Brothers with Pakistan.
1. Egypt’s Naser ordered the Ships having spare parts for Pak Army/Airforce not to cross Swis Canal during 1965 war with India.
What a Muslim Country?
2. In 1989 Yaser Irfat was awarded Nehru’s International Award For Peace. The happiness on Yasir Irfat’s face was phenomenal. A
Pakistani journalist asked Yaser Irfat his opinion about Kashmir. And his reply was also phenomenal. “What is the problem in
Kashmir, It is a part of India and no one has any right to involve in India’s Internal matters”, was the reply of SHRI YASER IRFAT!
3. Benazeer went to meet Ex. Iraqi President SADAAM HUSSAIN in order to gain his support for Kashmir. The reply was same “It is
India’s internal problem, Do not involve in India’s internal matters”.
4. Recently Saudi Foreign Minister visited India for having a Saudi – India Cooperation “Defense Pact”. Will it not effect adversely
Pakistan’s interest?
5. Our next door neighbor, our Muslim brother country Afghanistan, whose 3 million people are sheltered in Pakistan, is now involved
all kind of conspiracies against Pakistan with the help of India. What a great Muslim Brother Country?
6. Pakistan does not recognize Israel because all Arabs are our brothers, but Arabs not only recognizes India, they are India’s best
friends.
7. In 1965 conflict it was Malaysia which was a strong supporter of India and a foe of Pakistan. Tinko Abdul Rahman and Tinko Abdul
Razaq were Indian partners and our opponents in UN Security Council.
These are some of the behavior of our brothers, other wise the list is far too long. Hence remembering the behavior, should Pakistan still go and take a risk of its security and involve itself against very strong adversaries?
My Answer is NO.
if one reads about israels background its very clear that its not a country fighting for land and hence killings arab muslims, infact the truth is far more horrifying than that, israel main agenda is to prepare the throne for Dajjal and this is no false conspiracy as far as i have read. if we keep our eyes closed by saying that arabs didnt support us in this or that forum and hence we should refrain from putting ourselves in trouble than this is wrong attitude as the war launched by israel is not against a community its the preparation of the final battle that will consume all and nobody can escape it
agreed with the reply..
Arabs killing Arabs no Muslim country bats an eye. Israel kill Muslims for targeting Israelis everybody losses their mind. Keep up your hyprotricial views coming.
I’m sorry to say this but, you’re full of sh**.
man you have lots of knowledge, good thing and i agree with you, what you say you are very right.
Pakistan is unfortunately rulers by extremely greedy & corrupt rulers, many of them possess undisclosed offshore family ownership in the western world,, which they would not like to risk.
Due to their undisclosed offshore family ownership, they rely on bad loans from IMF to pay bills & throw gimmick projects & claim their performance.
The debt servicing is outrageous, kick backs are outrageous, money laundering is relentless, & the world powers know how vulnerable these rulers are.
Pakistan needs a leader like Imran Khan with undisputed financial integrity, widest consensus exist on his financial integrity.
PTI vision is to bring justice, stop dependence, get investors from all over the world to flood Pakistan with their investments, who would not hesitate to bring in their dollars because none of the PTI top leadership possess undisclosed offshore family ownership, in fact investing in world powers like USA & countries like India, they officially consider it conflict of interest.
Pakistan should be able to take leadership of Muslim countries to keep the aggressors like Israel in control, once it get rid of its corrupt elite or ruling class.
ASALAAM O ALAIKUM
Brothers and sisters, I know pakistan has a lot of internal issues going on, but beside this ALHAMDULILLAH we are thankful to ALMIGHTY ALLAH that he has given us this much owner to be an atomic power and to have a strong armed force. Thats the reason we stand out from other muslim countries on the globe. well I wish all muslim countries could become together against israel but at this crucial time the debatable point is not that why other arab countries are not standing against israel, why should Pakistan stand up. The point here is at least Pakistan should participate in this jihad for its own part. Because on the day of judgment when ALLAH will ask us that being a powerful country amongst all muslim countries in the world why you did not speak up against israel? why you did not fight against enemies of islam,?why you did not protect your muslim brothers and sisters? then what will be our answer. will we be going to say ALLAH we did not fight because we had our own internal problems and because other arab countries were taking part in it that why we did not as well. Remember you all leaders and commanders of armed forces WE ALL AND ALL OF YOU AS WELL ARE ACCOUNTABLE TO ALMIGHT ALLAH. Don’t you watch the video in which palestinian people are screaming and crying for help and they are literaly calling PAKISTAN and PAKISTANI ARMY by its name to help them. do you ever think why they are calling Pakistan to help. Because ALLAH (SWAT) blessed us being a powerful and strong muslim country. They think only Pakistani armed forces can help them. If ALLAH has putt this capability in Pakistan to cope with israel then why are we not standing up. don’t we believe in ALLAH. Even we might not need to fight against them because these Zionists are bloody dam losers and coward people. They are really afraid of muslims and especially Pakistan. I hope when they will just get to know that Pakistan is coming to help Palestinians they will just run away.
There is a famous saying
FEEL PRIVILEGE WHEN PEOPLE REMEMBER YOU WHEN THEY NEED YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE LIKE CANDLE THAT COMES TO THEIR MIND WHEN THERE IS DARKNESS.
MAY ALLAH GIVE US ALL STRENGTH TO STAND AGAINST ZIONISTS AND UNITE ALL MUSLIMS TOGETHER. AMEEN
Assalamu aleykum, im from Turkey. I have read about the arab-israel war before, but I didn’t heard anything about the PAF pilots in the war. Israel always try to hide their lost, fear and the truth about the war. Thanks for information, brothers. Allah will bless those who help to their brothers and sisters.
Salam…I condam the cruel and inhuman act of israil ….and call to all sleeping muslims to help our palestinian brothers and sisters
….
My name is ibadullah shah i am from Pakistan
I would like to say that death is more better than silence.
All Islamic counties should stand with Gaza as humans nope as Muslims.
Thanks.
ALLAH HO AKBAR
INSHALLAH we help our brothers and sisters but I didnt know what our politians doing.
Please leave our country Pakistan alone! We cannot afford any more wars! We can provide aid and assistance to our fellow Palestinians. But please, we as Pakistani’s, have enough internal & external problems that we’re trying to deal with! Spare us!
Shame on u idiot our fellows need us without any doubt ALLAH ALMIGHTY with us so why u worried stopid make ur faith strong and stand for jihad against Zionists .
You have a strong power than other becoz u r MUSLIM.
Say ALLAH HO AKBAR from heart and you will get ur faith and it will make u brave INSHALLAH
Sohail I understand and acknowledge your concern. However, as fellow Muslims we should stand against injustice. If we help the ipoor Palestinians then Allah will help Pakistanis. Allah is all merciful. Maybe this is a test from Allah and if we pass it then Allah will show mercy on Pakistan and resolve the internal and external conflicts
The same pakistani army was used to kill Palestinians a few years later by fellow Muslim country to save his Monarch. Read up about Black september http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September_in_Jordan
Commander was none other than Zia ul haq and he was almost court marshalled for his actions. So who were we supporting then?
We are Eagerly waiting for something like that.
Dear pakistani shaheens, go ahead & destroy israel & eradicate it from the world map.
As the author himself mentioned that Pakistani poilots took part in Arabs Israel war with militrious unforgetable services .in reword what Pakistan got the opposition of Sadam N Hafilassad in every filed .Non of them saported Pak anywere so much they did stoped petrolium supply in every1971 can the author tell us that Arabs Israel who think they are superior then us having billion N billion US dollors in westren countries fr their own lewishness con,t they arrang to meet Israel on their own Why Pakistan to be involved Pakistan has its own probelms we should look in to it
this is my first mail to all my muslim brother and sisters, i request to all of you unite whatever you are sunni or shia
IT IS POSABLE EVEN NOW IF THERE IS UNITY AMONG THE ARABS
I think the article is well- written and it did inform me of something new which I did not know especially about our pilots fighting in the Arab-Israel conflict.
But my issue is that you have claimed Israel is a country. I believe it is important to note here that the whole conflict is based on people fighting for their land, and it is the responsibility of the author to make sure to get all facts straight to get the point the across. Israel is not a country, but a “State of Israel”. There is a difference between the two. My intention is not to put you down but only to provide constructive criticism.
Regards,
Emad.
Pakistan have its own issues to deal now .The ongoing operation Zarb-e-Azb is our main priority right now . Pakistan is not only country permitted to carry out strikes against Israel.

PAKSITAN IS GOING TO DO NOTHING , OUR ARMY IS JUST USELESS , ONLY THE CALIPHA OF ISLAM HAZRAT IMAM MAHDI WILL COME AND GIVE EVERYINE HIS RIGHTS , MY DEAD PAKISTANIS PLEASE FORGET THIS THING ABOUT ATTACKING ISRALE ETC OUR GOVERNMENT IS A BUNCH OF LOOSERS AND NOTHING ELSE SO DONT BE PROUDU AND DONT DAY DREAM OF ATTACKING ISRALE . JUST WAIT FOR IMAM MAHDI ALAHISSALAM . HE IS THE ONE WHO WILL PUT THESE JEWS AND ENEMIES OF ISLAM RIGHT .
Agree.
It’s the time to proof that palestinian are not alone we always support the muslims communities, but i think may ALLAH want israel to be in pieces so in this extreme act of israel ALLAH help ours brothers sister and children ameen
I think this is the time to attack israeil with the help of allah and after that may be turkey is sopporting us for refueling
kash
The thing that most people oversee is distance. No matter how good of a pilot you are, you simply can’t fly on an empty fuel tank. Unfortunately, Pakistan’s Navy doesn’t have any aircraft carriers, hence the Pakistani Airforce has to rely on open borders. Not only is no country willing to fight the Israelis, but they aren’t even allowing foreign militaries a front to fight.
Mr. Hasan
Pakistan don’t need aircraft carrier to kick ass. Our armed forces knows how to fight and destroy our enemies.
Pakistan sent it’s airforce and military to help arabs against Israel but we never seen a single Arab nation sending their forces when we had fight with india. If I were the president of pakistan I would cut off all kind of relationship with Arab nations because they are the friends of nonbelievers. We don’t need any help from any arabs. We can fight our own wars. We are fighters
