The IDF is tactically professional, and has always been. That allowed them to win against numerically superior Arab forces. That they are professional in the other aspects is less clear (see also, USS Liberty, 1967, which is either a case of such incompetence stacking up the Israeli licence to own an armed force should be revoked, or a deliberate act).
