Notes: * 3, 6, and 20 (Palestinian) Divisions were lost in the 1967 War. The first two were believed reraised, and are the logical candidates for the two infantry divisions with 1st Army. M-Gen. Chiam Herzog identifies a 6th Mechanized Division in the 1973 War. 20 Division was not reraised.
+ M-Gen. Chiam Herzog identifies 113th Mechanized Brigade of 6th Mechanized Division as having participated in the operations.
