Key insights: Chief of Military Intelligence Chaim Herzog received early warning about Egyptian armored divisions from the CIA station head.; Ben‑Gurion vetoed a full mobilization but ordered a limited call‑up of 7,000 reservists and air‑force alert.; The narrative describes internal Israeli military movements and logistical preparations during the Rotem Crisis.
