I heard Glenn Beck telling this story Wednesday morning on the radio. He also told of a big fog that suddenly appeared in another incident that probably saved many IDF lives.
He prefaced both stories by telling of the big fog that appeared which allowed Gen. Washington and his men to cross the Deleware unseen. After they were safe on the other side, the fog lifted and the British boats soon arrived but found the patriots were no longer where they should have been.
In his telling were the Israelis actually North American Indians?
I think a dust storm happened in the Six Day War as well. IIRC it coincided with a “mirage” that led them to see hundreds of Israeli tanks when there were only a few. (The Israeli’s were surprised when the Egyptians surrendered so quickly).
