For our forthcoming game Middle East, here is a screenshot depicting the end of the scenario For the Bull (27 March, 1948 [day]), human (me) Israelis vs. A/I Arabs:

The A/I managed to put up a pretty good fight!
Especially in the later wars -- Suez '56, Six Day War '67, and beyond -- the Israelis fight almost like supermen. In the 1948 War, the Israelis are still getting their act together. For a change, it's somewhat refreshing to see the Arabs not so woefully outclassed.
